SO WHAT IS HAPPINESS ACCORDING TO CHILAB?
Happiness is a state of peace and contentment when a person feels their life has meaning. This state doesn’t come randomly, but is formed through a journey of self-understanding and understanding others – recognizing that we are part of the flow of life – a link in the chain connecting people. It can also be a process of expanding awareness and living responsibly in society. It’s not just a feeling of joy in the present, but also the result of living according to the values we believe in and being able to spread those values to those around us.
CHILAB: We experiment with connecting knowledge with multimedia art in the community to find solutions for a happy life based on a spirit of resonance and contribution.
“ChiLab – Still Living and Sharing Happiness
ChiLab – Make it easier, Make it better.”
After a long week caught up in the whirlwind of work, have you ever longed for a moment to pause – to breathe, to dream, and to find a place of gentle tranquility?
Amidst the daily hustle and bustle, sometimes we still find those small moments – when we allow ourselves to think, to wish, to dream like in our childhood days. Like a tiny matchstick that just lit up – carrying a train hurtling through the brilliant Milky Way, then suddenly extinguished…
We return to reality, to our familiar room, where work continues to call our names. Perhaps, each of us needs another “matchstick” like that – a brief moment, yet powerful enough to illuminate the deepest, hidden corners of our souls.
With the message: “Find the solace of dreams – Detach yourself from the hustle and bustle of life,” the event uses multimedia art as a bridge, leading you to a space of slowness, feeling, and connection. Here, you will “talk,” “do,” and “enjoy,” together creating truly memorable moments.
“Still Living & Sharing Happiness” is a meeting place for people with shared passions and interests – where you can:
– Explore and discuss the role of design in life through the talk show “Sketches of Life.”
– Experience the hands-on workshop “Dandelion Seeds in the Wind.”
– Create an art installation space together
– And immerse yourself in the inspiring world of multimedia art.

“SKETCHES OF LIFE.”
Time: 9:30 AM – 11:30 AM
Location: The Lighthouse Nam Thi House
The talk show is like a storytelling journey – an experiment and a way to open up new perspectives on design as a living act – subtle, mindful, attentive, and interactive with everyday life. Each design is not just a form, but a way to care for oneself and the world around us, and above all, to enjoy the small joys in the creative process. To connect participants with genuine and diverse perspectives, inspiring them to see design not as something complex or lofty, but as acts of mindfulness and self-care for ourselves and our lives.

Workshop
“DANDELION SEEDS IN THE WIND”
Time: 2 PM – 5 PM
Location: The Nest Nam Thi House
A creative workshop where participants can directly design and craft “dandelion seeds”—shapes of their own emotions that they identify and sketch under the guidance of an instructor, and using provided tools. The goal of the workshop is to encourage individual creativity, while also concretizing the theory that the talk show aims to promote: Design is an act of mindfulness and care. And the closest thing to it is our emotions. Recognize – listen – visualize – and give those emotions away.
