From Vietnam to Your Home: Why We Choose Vietnamese Acacia Wood

Every THYOI product starts with one material we love: acacia wood from Vietnam. It's at the heart of our deck tiles, planter boxes, bath mats and more, and it's a big part of who we are.

Why acacia?

Acacia is a dense, strong hardwood with a beautiful natural grain that ranges from golden honey tones to deep browns. It's naturally rich in oils, which helps it handle moisture better than many other woods. That makes it ideal for pieces that live outdoors or in humid spaces like bathrooms.

• Durable: hard and resilient, so it stands up to daily foot traffic.
• Moisture-resistant: natural oils help protect it from water.
• Beautiful: every board has a unique grain, so no two pieces look the same.
• Fast-growing: acacia trees grow quickly, which makes acacia a practical, renewable choice of hardwood.

Our Vietnamese roots

Vietnam has a long tradition of woodworking, and acacia is one of the woods widely grown and crafted there. Our products are shaped by that Vietnamese craftsmanship: careful cutting, sanding and finishing that turns raw timber into pieces that are simple, durable and beautiful.

From timber to tile

Our wood is cut into slats, dried, sanded smooth and finished before being mounted onto a sturdy interlocking base. Each step is about creating something that looks warm and natural and stays strong for years.

Natural wood, natural character

Because acacia is a natural material, you'll see variations in color and grain from tile to tile. Over time and with sun exposure, the wood can gently change tone. That's part of its charm, and with a little oil you can keep its rich color for longer.

When you bring THYOI into your home, you're bringing a little piece of Vietnam with it. Embrace the simplicity.
