Client Background
Located in Hanoi’s Dong Anh district, the Vietnam National Exhibition Center (VNEC) is Vingroup’s $300 million bet on becoming Southeast Asia’s largest MICE complex. With its iconic "Golden Turtle Dome" serving as the focal point for national diplomacy, trade expos, and top-tier banquets, the venue demands flooring that does more than look good. It needs to take a beating, kill the noise, and stay strictly compliant with Vietnam’s fire safety codes.
Design Philosophy
We didn’t just lay down carpet; we turned the floor into an extension of the architecture. For the VIP lounge areas, we drew inspiration from the Golden Turtle Dome’s centripetal radiating structure and created bespoke flowing radial patterns. The lines stretch infinitely outward from the visual center, echoing the dome's architectural momentum while balancing the grand space’s rigidity with soft textures.
For the sprawling banquet halls, we took inspiration from the mist and ripples of Vietnam’s Red River Delta—translating them into abstract interwoven patches of blue, grey, and gold, just like cloud shadows drifting across the water. This gives the vast space an Eastern poetic soul that still feels distinctly modern.
Technical Specs & Core Advantages
For VNEC, Dongsheng specified a premium Axminster weave with an 80% wool and 20% nylon blend. It’s not just about aesthetics—it had to work hard.
Balancing durability with luxury
That 20% nylon does the heavy lifting. It boosts crush resistance and abrasion resistance, meaning the carpet can take on the sheer volume of daily foot traffic at a major exhibition center without losing its body. The 80% wool, on the other hand, keeps things comfortable. It delivers that signature plush feel underfoot, naturally wicks away moisture, and keeps the space quiet. Together, they create a floor that stands up to heavy wear without ever sacrificing comfort.
Superior acoustic control
The high-density wool-nylon structure works like a sponge for noise. It absorbs footfall and equipment echoes in the grand banquet halls, giving international summits a quiet, refined atmosphere—free from distracting background buzz.
Safety and eco-compliance
Wool naturally resists flames. We paired that inherent property with our advanced eco-friendly flame-retardant finishing, and the entire product passed all national-level fire and environmental tests. Specifically, it meets European Bfl-s1 low-smoke standards and US ASTM E648 Class I certification—top-tier fire performance. This makes it perfectly suited for VNEC’s strict national-level safety codes, handling everything from large banquets to high-level international summit spaces.
Client Value & On-Site Execution
The 8,000 sqm custom Axminster carpet has been successfully delivered and put into operation. Dongsheng Carpet leveraged its mature end-to-end delivery capabilities to ensure this largest exhibition complex in Southeast Asia opened exactly as scheduled. Since it went into service, the acoustic performance of the high-density wool-nylon blend has significantly cut down echoes in the banquet halls, providing a quieter and more composed environment for international summits as well as business and state banquets.
This proven track record serves as a powerful vote of confidence for buyers across the global luxury hotel, convention center, and commercial interior sectors. When faced with stringent fire-safety and eco-friendly regulations—along with tight production and delivery timelines—Dongsheng Carpet has consistently shown itself to be a professional flooring solutions provider that buyers can truly rely on.
