Design Revolution and Beyond

From Color to Eternity is beginning of 2021GDB. This installation piece synesthetically expresses the eternal beauty of nature. More than 4,000 paper blossoms symbolizing the blooming wisteria flower have been created by applying sophisticated laser and die.

The sculptural wall in the center and the mirror enveloping the entire space maximizes the effect of fantastic, endless scenery, producing a magical moment and timeless splendor that allows the artwork to communicate with the audience.

Gwang ju (光州: City of Light) is still a work in progress. Light is hopeful, but it can also be hopeless. In this respect, the value of light is interpreted differently depending on which perspective you see it from.

The artist is trying to show reality through these photographs. A person in the middle of an incomplete light ignores or distorts the social flow.

he flower of the Fringe Tree symbolizes Gwang ju in May and shares the meaning of May 18th (Gwangju Uprising), a day when rice balls were shared between citizens. We collected the scent of Fringe Tree around Gwangju City Hall in May 2021.

The Theatrum Botanicum or 'Plant Theatre' concept involves a stage where a drama of plants and gardens unfold.

DNA Landscape touches on the balance of yin and yang and the spirit of Eastern aesthetics with the subjects ‘Grand and Vigorous’ (雄渾) and ‘Limpid and Placid’ (沖澹) from Sikong Tu’s The Twenty-Four Styles of Poetry (二十四詩品).

When the audience passes by in the front of the forest-like ink-and-wash painting image of a bamboo forest, the bamboo sways with the sound of wind. Windy Bamboo Grove is an interactive artwork that reinterprets the ink paintings with digital sound and video.

Based in Jeju Island, artist explores lighting installations that recycle fish-luring lights in the sea. 'Luminous' produces a dreamy and mysterious glow, which conveys a strange aesthetic to the viewers.

These beautifully sculpted wooden chairs explore the political and social-economic impact of the Pandemic. Turn Around entails mass mobilization and regime change and rapid and fundamental social, economic, and cultural shifts.

Since the COVID-19, in just one month, 129 billion disposable masks have been dumped around the world. Haneul Kim hopes that the curiosity of the recycled masks does not stop at the object of chairs but evokes the seriousness of environmental pollution in the long term.

The chair, made by bending an iron plate from unprocessed raw material, resembles the simple and practical principle of Hangul. The type composition using of YoonGothic’s Hangul font was added to express the diversity, scalability, and infinite growth potential of Hangul.

In the day and night at sea, the island becomes the sea, and the sea becomes an island. The sea becomes a workplace for haenyeo (female divers in Jeju), and the island becomes a place of rest.

The block can be a seat, a low table, or a stool. The designers in Normal Studio call it a ‘support’. They have done away with the legs to avoid defining the object by a stylistic element and steer clear of the usual stools and low tables models.
