Some stories unfold on the pages of a book. Others take shape one piece at a time.
From October 2–4, 2026, Shalom Wood, the Vietnamese company that designs and manufactures DIY wooden model kits under the Halom brand, participated in the ninth edition of the Book and Night Culture Festival at Ho Chi Minh City Book Street.
Held under the Vietnamese theme “Dệt gấm thêu hoa,” the festival provided an opportunity for Shalom Wood to introduce its locally designed and manufactured products to the public and present its creative direction to potential gift, souvenir and retail partners.



Exploring Culture Through Hands-On Creativity
The festival’s theme used weaving as a metaphor for bringing together different materials, stories and traditions to create new cultural expressions. Books, crafts and creative activities offered visitors different ways to explore these connections.
For Shalom Wood, DIY wooden models provide a way to tell stories through design and participation.
A rooftop, a streetscape or an architectural detail can spark curiosity. As builders connect the components, they spend time examining the design and discovering how each element contributes to the finished scene.
This creates a natural connection between Halom and the festival’s cultural focus: making stories and creative ideas accessible through an activity people can experience for themselves.



From a Vietnamese Production Workshop to Book Street
By participating in the festival, Shalom Wood brought Halom models into a public setting centred on books, culture and community.
For a company that develops and manufactures its own products, meeting people beyond the workshop is a valuable part of understanding how those products fit into everyday life.
The event offered an opportunity to introduce the models, explain the DIY concept and connect visitors with the company behind the brand. Such settings also create opportunities to learn how people approach gift selection, miniature displays and creative hobbies.
Shalom Wood’s participation reflects its intention to remain engaged with the market and take part in cultural activities that relate closely to Halom’s identity.



Creative Gifts, Decorative Miniatures and Meaningful Souvenirs
A wooden model kit can begin as a gift, become an activity shared with someone special and eventually find a place on a bookshelf.
Halom develops products around these connected experiences:
-
Creative gifts for people who enjoy detail and making things by hand.
-
Home décor for desks, bookshelves and personal collections.
-
Souvenirs that evoke places, architecture and cultural stories.
-
Engaging DIY projects for people who enjoy construction activities and the satisfaction of completing a miniature.
Each finished model carries both the ideas behind its design and the time invested by its builder. This relationship between product and participation is central to what Shalom Wood brings to cultural events.




Meet Shalom Wood, the Company Behind Halom
Halom is the product brand. Shalom Wood is the company that designs and manufactures the models in Vietnam.
For business partners, understanding this relationship provides a clear starting point for discussing products, sourcing requirements and potential cooperation.
Participation in the ninth Book and Night Culture Festival demonstrates Shalom Wood’s active approach to presenting its products and connecting the Halom brand with the public.
With direct design and manufacturing capabilities, the company welcomes enquiries from distributors, gift shops, souvenir retailers, bookstores, home décor businesses and creative workshop organisers.
Partners can discuss the Halom collection, wholesale terms, sales materials and product development needs relevant to their customers and retail channels.


Continuing the Creative Journey
Shalom Wood extends its thanks to the festival organisers, Ho Chi Minh City Book Street, and everyone who took an interest in Halom during the event.
