If one asks to pick what I like I will choose

maksabal (earthenware bowl) There have been

many on-going researches and examination

on maksabal However my fascination toward

maksabal has nothing to do with such frenzy It has

been already nearly 20 years that I have realized

that all I like always have the prefix lsquo mak~rsquo in them

makgooksoo makkimchi makgeolli hellip

Maksabal is simply made bowl without finesse of

detail It is said that a potter in olden days was

able to make 200-300 of maksabal per a day In

order to do that the potter did not spend long time

when raise a lump of clay for a bowl If you look

inside you can see traces of potterrsquos finger of who

hurriedMaksabal of Joseon Dynasty is an object

of extremely contemporary design in the sense

that plainly exposes making process I think it was

not at all difficult to make the surface smooth using

cloth or something if they wanted I believe that our

ancestors drew a line on which they think it is good

enough to leave it as it were The thoughts that led

to this conclusion came from the realization of the

same criteria not only in hanok residents temples

and Confucian architectures but also in music

fashion and food Such criteria should not be

considered as coincidence but deliberate decision

First you can find same principle of leaving the

materials as they were without artificial deformation

was applied to most cases of architecture no

matter they were wood or stone Same aesthetic

decision goes to locating architecture to sit without

interrupting the cartography of the land

Such aesthetics of less refined but light and

straightforwardness appears onto our traditional

music and garments For example a drummer

inserts interactive and improvisational rejoinders

here and there in the middle of chang (narrative

song) while beating time of the piece Or

traditional garment hanbok is composed of folds

and openings to create spontaneity In many

places within our culture one can easily find

that permeated is the aesthetics of lsquo mak~ and

improvisationrsquo

Though it is small maksabal is an excellent

example that connotes so many I believe this

came from the fact that our ancestors had this

attitude higher taste and perspective in terms of

aesthetics preferring to accept their surroundings

and to breathe together with them than pursue

completeness

While looking carefully at both edges and the gap

between them you press a ruler down You raise

a pencil and let your right hand past over the left

one then the pencil makes a path along the ruler

Once you pick up pencil and ruler you make clean

and neat lines I likedhellip that feeling It might sound

silly considering I am in fine art field However I

always loved tools that you can find in architecture

like ruler compass and drafting instruments One

day I had to chance to visit a studio of my teacher

in Accademia di Belle Arti Italy still having the

admiration toward such instruments I found him

drawing something resembles with architectural

plan From the sight I recalled the merits of ruler

and compass This may have contributed to my

greater affection toward rulers It has been a quite

sometime that I got this habit to find stationery

corner or bookstore looking for lsquorulerrsquo whenever I

travel It is amazing to find that this trivial object

can reflects the differences of each country The

rulers that I rummaged like that now become a

collection that reflects my taste We often use lsquorulerrsquo

as a metaphor Each personrsquos standard criterion

can be seen through eyes thought in head and

felt with heart Considering unit for measuring

length has provided us a reference point from value

judgment of the invisible criterion for beauty tenet

of money to levels of success the fact that lsquorulerrsquo

is deeply involved with our lives makes me amazed

and scared

Soban is an interesting object A table normally

functions to gather people around them However

soban small portable dining table is an item

that exhibits Korearsquos table custom first you have

to sit on the floor and this table is designed for

one person Though my first admiration toward

furniture design in college years went with Danish

design cornerstone of Scandinavianrsquos I was

fascinated Danish designrsquos timelessness enough

to go to study and the experience made deep

impact that can be compared to culture shock on

who I am now Ironic enough life there taught me

the value of lsquomy ownrsquo culture in which I was born

and raised This is the biggest knowledge I got

from studying abroad It is a shame that I have not

learned about Naju soban until I was 32 years old

when I met Kim Choonsik who is an intangible

cultural treasure of Korea for soban makingNaju

soban then appeared to be most outstanding even

for the eyes of young designer The legs of Naju

soban has round cylinder shape that narrows

down toward the bottom It stands vertically if you

look from the front and it looks slanted inside It

is designed like this in order to give more room

on the bottom After cutting out furrows from the

wood for blind that connects the legs and tabletop

is first soaked in water until it gets soft enough

to bend Making it with one piece of wood allows

the structure sturdier Same method is often used

in contemporary furniture making because it

avoids waste of material as well as distortion of its

tabletop This sobanrsquos lsquoreasonablersquo design must

have captivated young designerrsquos eye without

needing to hear further explanation WouldnrsquotNaju

soban deserve evaluation as universal design even

from the Westernized contemporary viewpoint

Only regret is that I have not realized it earlier

This pot design was the first creation after I

came back from Japan about 10 years ago Its

production is still continued because it has been

loved for its balance and safety not to mention the

high functionality Despite that the harder it gets

the more we try to design a pot When I started

teaching college students I took over plaster

casting class that most students hate (If you are

ceramic major you would understand) Casting

can be frustrating for students before they get

to learn to have fun However I introduced them

various artworks that requires plaster casting

and persuaded them that it is necessary to get

familiarize if they wan to make as such I used to

show them NHKrsquos video documentation of work

by Sakaeki Masatoshi who has been my teacher

Lee Kyungmin one of my students ended up

visiting Japan because of my class and learned

under him for one year There are two works here

I am introducing one is Sakaeki Masatoshirsquos pot

design entitled Handle Vessel Series and Lee

Kyungminrsquos coffee cup and saucer design Circus

Series One is by teacher and by the student tied

to me as common denominator

This black matte pot was designed in 1995 but it

was only 2004 when it finally got mass-produced

I wonder if it owed to the unique shape of the

handle Comfortable contours and playful volume

and cobalt decoration etc theses recurring

characteristics in my teacherrsquos work provokes one

to feel that they must have at least one of them

This pot also has a handle that draws our attention

It has the shape of a thumb as if it presses its lid

Thus the handle does not touch the belly and it

does not get hot because it is hollowed The tip of

spout is designed not to waste even a drop The

lid that looks like a frogrsquos eye seems to represent

the completeness of his design he enjoyed While

it satisfies the function the shape is somewhat

strange The pot is sitting on my windowsill

since last Korea-Japan exchange exhibition 8-9

years ago Lee Kyungminrsquos coffee cup and a

saucer have cool and straight line that gives out

undecipherable tension It already has passed 5

years since he first visited this studio with the set

The cup with black glistening glaze fits precisely

in its depression Round contour inside of the

handle gives comfort It clearly shows his attention

to functionality in his design Is it why I even

heard pleasant news that he won a first place at

Westerwald Preis When I design kitchenware I

keep in mind that functionality is the essential It is

always the question when to stop I would like to

ask them if I am doing right

Sacred artifacts are expression of belief from a

community of church as well as criterion that

shows level of development of the church Sacred

artifacts including crosses are used in various

ways within Christianity Catholics in particular

holy images cross rosary vessel for holy water

icon etc are used to help spiritual exercise on

personal level and this makes one person to keep

quite large number of sacred artifacts Crosses

were once used to hang prisoners in ancient EastHowever after Jesus Christ sacrificed himself

on the cross for the redemption of human sins

on behalf of all humanity cross has become the

theological symbol for his lsquohardship and deathrsquo

lsquosacrifice and loversquo lsquoimmortality and salvationrsquo

The forms of cross vary more than you think For

me vertical line means the relation between the

God and me while horizontal line does relation

between me and people who live together the

same period of time As one of those who barely

manage day-to-day hardship by the force of life

cross becomes the energy source to survive the

present and the reason for another day I start

my day making an eye contact with it The silver

cross for holding made by Cho Sungho is a very

special one among the sacred artifacts that I have

We all are influenced by objects around us in daily

lives lsquoSincerityrsquo toward religion always conveys

the scent of artistic aura and the art that pursues

sincere beauty always allow us to experience

religious transcendence What enables my lifetoday is this belief that there always exists utmost

beauty wherever art crosses religion

What kind of work you have been working on

In college years I was interested in experimenting

various materials and approaches Feeling being

more curious about materials pursuing graduate

level education seemed natural to me as next

step There I was introduced environmental

issues and started making pertinent objects

First piece that I made was lunch box Though

pet bottle that is considered as disposable it is

recyclable So I made light weighted lunch box

with it Taking it as starting point I have been

making kitchenware and baskets that are closed

to our daily lives with my own methods

Where do you get your inspiration

Nothing particular Architectures factory goods

or various materials from media have been onesOften times things just came in to my mind while

making or using objects Open-fold fruit bowl

for example I kept thinking to make a bowl that

I can open and fold and the idea came when I

looked at the shape of flower and I developed

from it

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or crafters I do not hung up with the

idea of being unique Originality of an object is

not something that its maker can judge I just

want to make good things and try to fully express

what I think

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I want to be someone who enriches

the living of people or someone who deeply

concerned with authentic happiness

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers My advisor Professor

Koh Bohyung

What do you think young crafters and designers

including you should do for the development

of craft and design of the country If you are a

young crafter or designer I think it is important

have faith in yourself and act by it Artist shouldhave faith and be able to express his own voice

to the world

Where the readers can purchase your work You

If you open the silver box it surprises you with the bright light radiated from

white porcelain Kim Heejongrsquos work with contrasting finishes in and outside

of white porcelain tableware makes you curious about the art of the artist

If you sum up your art and its characteristicsinto one sentence Tableware design that

combines practicality and estheticism

Tell us briefly about the technique you use and

the making process of your work I have mostly

worked on white porcelain tableware Majority of

them were made with wheel throwing technique

Slip casting is also used when I wanted more

unique design Sometime I use different glaze for

inside from out side As I am working more on

tableware I get the chance to use it for myself

putting my food in them and make corrections

on the design if needed

Silver finishing is used for some of the works Is

there special reason for that I went to a special

talk addressed by a Japanese artist when I was

in grad school He used silver foils on small

part of his work and that got interested me to try

some experiments using silver Silver gives you

feeling if it is alive because it gradually changes

its color as it gets oxidized So I have continued

using silver as finishing material since 2007

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Heejong Brandrdquo

lsquoContaining stories in the designrsquo might be it

When I design an item I think of wonderful

memories in the past or present to apply in it

You are running a shop And that is rare for

artists What good is in running your own shop

I have worked considering that fairs are

equivalent to exhibitions And I value the time

I communicate with audience at the field

However fairs are only stayed open up to 5days making the time with audience too short

I also have been thinking it costs a lot to be in

a fair and find it hectic packing and unpacking

freights Then I opened a shop at Sagimakgol

Icheon Gyeonggi Province It was located in

the middle of wholesale district where in which

number of young artists and retail customers

are growing My wife who majored ceramic art is

running the shop She is most helpful because

she understands my art more than anyone else

and she pays attention to the responses from the

customers

What is future plan for your art Things that

I would like to try are endless when you are

working on tableware As various as foods are I

would like to make all kind of tableware I can see

myself focusing on tableware for a while There is

one thing that I really want to try to do It is my

dream to go to a quiet place later and build a kiln

firing with logs for ceramics without glaze Firing

with logs and using ashes f or coloring ceramics

is really interesting

Is there an artist who influenced on your work I

should be careful but my teachers are not either

books or senior artists It is customers I try to

make things that my customers want If one

does not figure out what his customers want or

cannot read the trend good craft design cannot

be made If basic principle of craft is to make

something for daily use it must be right to make

what people want with my own taste

MOON YOOJIN

lsquoBachirsquo is pure Korean word for lsquocraftsmanrsquo It refers to a person who devotes

to hisher life to being authentic professional despite they used to belong to

lowest class Moon Yoojin decided to succeed such spirit even considering it as

calling and fortune She has faith as a person who started life as crafter to do

knotting and lacquer after leaving her life as a designer which she spent half of

her life She believes that if one accumulates one more knot and one more layer

of lacquer one lsquogood thingrsquo can come out of it the same as Jo Hoonhyun the

famous go player continued one move after another and became a master

Please explain your work lsquothe Knots Bagrsquo

It is a second bag inspired by our forefathersrsquo

craft called gat Its string was the only means formen to accessorize I wanted to link the virtue

of the string to contemporary living with subtlety

and grace to come up with the second bag This

bag looks like a gat if you put it upside down

(It also reminds us of donut too so it would be

okay to call it lsquodonut bagrsquo Polyester is mostly

used to make these because if you use natural

fabric the signature pleats are gone

It seems that name of the brand lsquoBachirsquo holds

your design philosophy as a whole It is the

name of the brand and the name of my company

also Bachi refers to a person who devotes his

life to make only one thing The word can be

combined with name of the thing that bachi

make Letrsquos say someone is called gatbachi

it refers to someone who makes things with

gat(leather) and matchstick bachi means not

someone who sells matchstick but makes and

sells them They were creators literally I wanted

to succeed in the mind of theirs

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Contemporary application of tradition

Why do you favor knotting technique

If you make a mistake while applying lacquer

you can either apply one more layer or find

another way of correcting it However if you

make a mistake during knotting you cannot

ever get the result that you intended It is why

knotting is both difficult and attractive One of

the reasons that make knotting craftsmen so

great is they memorize all the techniques by

heart But it makes hard to disseminate I felt

bad this traditional knotting continued only to

be in the state of home decoration Through

lsquoapplicationrsquo processes I wanted such traditionbe penetrated in to the lives of ours I developed

ideas that make knots equipped with functions

instead being considered as additional element

old school ornament Its result is lsquothe knots bagrsquo

you see here

How do you envision your life as crafter

in ten years I hope I am a craft designer

acknowledged for my editions and I would like to

publish a monograph

Many attach expression of lsquofun furniturersquo on your

work If you sum up your art into one sentence

what would that be

Design that combines curiosity and imagination

Designer Kim Juilrsquos work can be described

as something literally crosses over craft and

design After the detailed design you add labor

element by hand donrsquot you

Thatrsquos right It is literally lsquocraft+designrsquo I consider

the basic way of thinking and story behind craft

and design are same They only have different

ways of expression My work also combines

industrial technique and fabrication process

of craft But I would not particularly want to

separate them either

Eco-friendliness has become the issue needsto be resolved in design and craft field Do you

have anything in your work that implements

such issue I am incorporating lsquocirculation

structurersquo in the principle of design If possible I

choose sturdy and recyclable material and eco-

friendly elements are always included in the

foundation of my design

01 Candle Towerrsquo LED

candleholder that you can

adjust its height 02 lsquoEco Driversquo

case that he presented at Craft

Trend Fair 04 lsquoToyrsquo Clip holder

05 lsquov-tworsquo This V shaped sofa

hides a coffee table inside that

you can pull out from both side

Including Craft Trend Fair I have participated

in many other fairs related to craft and design

Salone Satellite that I have participated with the

students from Hanseo University left me with

deep impression among them It meant a lot

because we were officially invited through one

year of preparation We received remarks like we

are lsquobuilding forms and style through designrsquo

We took the theme lsquocrossing point of East and

West Fish hung on the ceiling using principle of

expansion and contraction work that animated

each color of yarn by adding light fixture etc

works that accentuated craftwork were most

popular among audience members

tableware He tells us that he thinks of place and person that his works

will be used So his work appears highly refined on one hand and rough

on the other giving us a joy of looking as well as using

How did you start metal craft What was the

motivation My father has been in jewelry craft

industry over 30 years I had chance to look at him

working and gradually got interested in this field

Looking closely at daily nicknacks drawing ideas

being curious about hands on processes and

enjoying to make them led me to the work today

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Hyunsung Brandrdquo

I would like to say that it is effectiveness in

function practicality simplicity and friendliness of

design

Is there an artist who influenced you And Why

Sculptor Brancusi influenced me a lot He got

rid of all the unnecessary details and his way of

condensing all the energies inside is quite inspiringIndustrial designer Dieter Rams as well as metal

crafter Koh Bohyung and Shim Hyunseok come

to my mind These two craftsmen taught me not

only through the their work but also through the

way of living and way of looking at things

Sikijang exhibition ltThe coffee

makers+gt (20141126~1220 Arumjigi

02 03 His studio view

04 Bronze dripper

What is most important aspect in creating

works I purposely avoid make things in perfect

and stylish form Most responses that I get

are they look a bit clumsy I make an effort to

find shapes that are imperfect or clumsy form

purposely This is to provoke the viewers to

question to a certain extend themselves about

forms I feel happiest when the void I created

leads to the conversation with the viewers

What is the best lsquomasterpiecersquo in craft or

design that you ever encountered

Not long ago I was flabbergasted by Park

Honggursquos woodenware It has the shape that

does not have any unnecessary element It is

no doubt that he knows his material so well

What do you think young crafters anddesigners including you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

I think Korea society is quite chaotic now The

worse thing is that the entire burden from such

situation is loaded on to young generationrsquos

shoulders In the society where landing on a job

they can love and being happy is impossible

choosing craft as their job is even harder I

would like to say that we should think the fact

that we made such a difficult decision as it is

and it is worthy enough to think one should

continue what they have been doing

Please tell me about your work lsquoSoSo( 小昭 )rsquo

SoSo is a set of spoon chopstick and cutlery

rest using traditional techniques from mother-

of-pearl lacquer and gilding Pendant The idea

of Ah Ottrsquo came up while working on the spoon

rest

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Lacquer+blank All of my works is finished with

lacquer in the end

What kinds of processes are needed to produce

one work SoSo for example it takes 3-4 times

of lacquering on cut wood Sometime several

more times of lacquering and grinding are

needed after gluing mother-of-pearl or gold foil in

order to set it Lastly it is finished with polishing

What is the uniqueness of lsquoKang Heejung

Brandrsquo lsquoReservednessrsquo The style that is

traditional but not classical

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers who is active in the field

It is hard to pick just one since there are so

many great designers in Korea Among foreign

designers I love Enzo Mari who is representative

of Italian Modern design and Japanese designer

Nagaoka Genmei

What drives you to continue your work

Thought that there are people who want my

work(product)

Is there an item that you would like to challenge

to create in the future I would like a chance to

design a space full with my works

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I would like to continue making things

It does not have to be a lot but constantly While

showing my own color I would like to be a crafter

who makes up-to-dated objects that people trust

Though the method of numbering each

ceramic tiles in the elements of ceramic

object can sound lsquonot different than otherrsquo and

disadvantageous

Yes I heard that many times People even tell me

to put a stop to it However I would not make a

big effort to change the way of working or break

the habit If the time comes that I get bored or I

wonrsquot be able to do it with some reason I would

follow the natural course I too am curious how

my work is going to be ended The same as two

characters ltWaiting for Godotgt without knowing

who Godot is I just add the tiles I am doing it as

far as I can Wouldnrsquot it be okay if one or two do

something looks stupid

Work by Bae Sejin is more of a sculpture thanceramic Do you consider yourself you are on

the border between them

I do not particularly feel the need of categorize

such thing I am on the border of this side end

and that side Next project that I am planning

will be more ambiguous in terms of the borders

But one thing is sure that I will continue to keep

01 04 Bae Sejinrsquos ltWaiting

for Godotgt

02 03 Bae Sejinrsquos sculptural

and flat object show wide

spectrum of craft

this position because I believe that craft is

something for a man devotes himself and make

it with all his heart

What issue interests you as an artist

First is adding functionality on sculptural object

(it means to make something useful in life)

Second is to reduce the size of the works For

that matter trying to make change in materials

rather than clay

Your experience with fairs abroad as

participants or attendee have influenced you

Biggest influence I get from such experience is

being motivated One thing that you constantly

have in your mind is lsquoif you are doing rightrsquo

When many people like your work in exhibitions

abroad and that leads to sales channel it can

be great motivation for your art

What kind of work have you created

I have created objects for a long time But I

started to add functionality in my works that is

entitled lsquoArt Deco Warersquo Cups dishes bowls

etc I am communicating with people through

art porcelain goods that emphasizes both

aestheticity and functionality

Which material do you prefer to use And Why

I normally use white clay White clay is most

effective and appropriate material that can bring

out the essential beauty of Korean traditional craft

The material also allows me to accentuate stylistic

finishing at the same time There I add colored

clay and liquid gold to create various flows which

is the concept in the lsquoFliessenrsquo series

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or potters As I continue the concept

of lsquoFliessenrsquo through the brand called lsquoceramic

by leezeesoorsquo I was able to present variety of

patterns every year Harmony of aestheticity and

visualizing both contemporary and traditional

sensibility with white clay may be counted as the

characteristics of my work

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers I admire Lee Youngjae

who lives in Germany When I was having hard

time to choose which school I should go in

Germany to study pottery I ran into him on a

street Then he advised me to go Giebichenstein

It is no doubt that his cups will be appreciated by gentlemen rather than by

the hands of usual ladies His cups are intriguing though different from usual

designs he does not either throw on the wheel or cast but make them with

slab of clay so they look like he rolled cardboards He always goes beyond

conventional methods including experimenting with combination of clay and

metal and polishing surface of ceramic instead of glazing This couldnrsquot help

Your brand name lsquoDeep Cobaltrsquo sounds unique

What is the meaning behind it

I ran in to the phrase while reading a novel when

I was young I liked its abstract association with

lsquothe color of a deep oceanrsquo

You chose handbuilding technique with slab of

clay instead of wheel throwing or casting What

are the merits and demerits

Wheel throwing and casting technique require

postproduction process even after building

shapes and drying the clay On one hand

handbuilding method allows me to finish the

making process at the building shapes stage

without additional process It also allows me to

create the shape my porcelains a fun look of

paper On the other hand it has low success

rate and takes longer time because it requires

polishing process after second firing

Another unusual fact of the Deep Cobalt is that

it uses clay called Black Mountain instead of

normal porcelain clay What is the reason for it

First of all it is because of the color of the clay I

learned about it while I was looking for clay that

has rougher texture and color There are clays

with rough texture but no such color It fitted very

well for my work that uses minimum amount of

glaze and emphasizing natural characteristics of

clay Using heat wire (in order not to be rusted

while fired on 1200 degree) or gluing leather is

the influence from the experience of ceramic

object work I did before I started ceramic craft

Maybe that is the reason

Would you make self-assessment of the fact

why Deep Cobalt has drawn attention among

active crafters

I would say people tend to be amazed by them

rather than loving them They look different than

other craftersrsquo Would it be the reason My work

looks like rather a tin can than ceramic pot The

basic principle is being persistent attempting to

make new design I kept in mind that the cups

are drinking tool The cup is the outcome of the

design that I approached from this perspective

Which design do you think is lsquothe best of the

01 04 He flattens slab of clay and builds the shape by

rolling them like a sheet of paper

02 He recently added leather on his heat wire handle

03 Mug cups and strainer that reveals natural

characteristics of clay called lsquoBlack Mountainrsquo

best craft or deignrsquo Freitag bags Not only the

design is excellent but also the concept behind

deserves the status It recycles used seat belt

bicycle tube truck taps etc It is quite interesting

to know people still love them even though each

bag looks different from each other because it is

recycling used materials

Including artist Hyun Sanghwa what do you

think the young artists lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

If you have idea of a work you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

without hesitant

Cho Byungju creates furniture with emphasize on

its function and characteristics of the material He

also does not hide changes that take place during

manufacturing process because his motto is all should

be able to understand and appreciate designer

furniture by its simplicity and straightforwardness

unlike the notion of designer furniture often gives out

notion of that they are difficult and complex

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

Traditional Craftgt

ltTexturegt

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

able to learn about them or they were hard to find were it not

selected through fierce competitions It is no doubt that these

crafters also had chances to meet audience and learn their

responses After all a craft is something to be completed when

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

Boy-rice) etchellip they are the sosengs that we are planning

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

have visited Gongjursquos attractions There were full of old

stories as a city of history without fail and precious relics

were boasting its grace here and there as museum without

roof Moreover the temples under the blanket of snow

looked quite romantic

If one asks to pick what I like I will choose

maksabal (earthenware bowl) There have been

many on-going researches and examination

on maksabal However my fascination toward

maksabal has nothing to do with such frenzy It has

been already nearly 20 years that I have realized

that all I like always have the prefix lsquo mak~rsquo in them

makgooksoo makkimchi makgeolli hellip

Maksabal is simply made bowl without finesse of

detail It is said that a potter in olden days was

able to make 200-300 of maksabal per a day In

order to do that the potter did not spend long time

when raise a lump of clay for a bowl If you look

inside you can see traces of potterrsquos finger of who

hurriedMaksabal of Joseon Dynasty is an object

of extremely contemporary design in the sense

that plainly exposes making process I think it was

not at all difficult to make the surface smooth using

cloth or something if they wanted I believe that our

ancestors drew a line on which they think it is good

enough to leave it as it were The thoughts that led

to this conclusion came from the realization of the

same criteria not only in hanok residents temples

and Confucian architectures but also in music

fashion and food Such criteria should not be

considered as coincidence but deliberate decision

First you can find same principle of leaving the

materials as they were without artificial deformation

was applied to most cases of architecture no

matter they were wood or stone Same aesthetic

decision goes to locating architecture to sit without

interrupting the cartography of the land

Such aesthetics of less refined but light and

straightforwardness appears onto our traditional

music and garments For example a drummer

inserts interactive and improvisational rejoinders

here and there in the middle of chang (narrative

song) while beating time of the piece Or

traditional garment hanbok is composed of folds

and openings to create spontaneity In many

places within our culture one can easily find

that permeated is the aesthetics of lsquo mak~ and

improvisationrsquo

Though it is small maksabal is an excellent

example that connotes so many I believe this

came from the fact that our ancestors had this

attitude higher taste and perspective in terms of

aesthetics preferring to accept their surroundings

and to breathe together with them than pursue

completeness

While looking carefully at both edges and the gap

between them you press a ruler down You raise

a pencil and let your right hand past over the left

one then the pencil makes a path along the ruler

Once you pick up pencil and ruler you make clean

and neat lines I likedhellip that feeling It might sound

silly considering I am in fine art field However I

always loved tools that you can find in architecture

like ruler compass and drafting instruments One

day I had to chance to visit a studio of my teacher

in Accademia di Belle Arti Italy still having the

admiration toward such instruments I found him

drawing something resembles with architectural

plan From the sight I recalled the merits of ruler

and compass This may have contributed to my

greater affection toward rulers It has been a quite

sometime that I got this habit to find stationery

corner or bookstore looking for lsquorulerrsquo whenever I

travel It is amazing to find that this trivial object

can reflects the differences of each country The

rulers that I rummaged like that now become a

collection that reflects my taste We often use lsquorulerrsquo

as a metaphor Each personrsquos standard criterion

can be seen through eyes thought in head and

felt with heart Considering unit for measuring

length has provided us a reference point from value

judgment of the invisible criterion for beauty tenet

of money to levels of success the fact that lsquorulerrsquo

is deeply involved with our lives makes me amazed

and scared

Soban is an interesting object A table normally

functions to gather people around them However

soban small portable dining table is an item

that exhibits Korearsquos table custom first you have

to sit on the floor and this table is designed for

one person Though my first admiration toward

furniture design in college years went with Danish

design cornerstone of Scandinavianrsquos I was

fascinated Danish designrsquos timelessness enough

to go to study and the experience made deep

impact that can be compared to culture shock on

who I am now Ironic enough life there taught me

the value of lsquomy ownrsquo culture in which I was born

and raised This is the biggest knowledge I got

from studying abroad It is a shame that I have not

learned about Naju soban until I was 32 years old

when I met Kim Choonsik who is an intangible

cultural treasure of Korea for soban makingNaju

soban then appeared to be most outstanding even

for the eyes of young designer The legs of Naju

soban has round cylinder shape that narrows

down toward the bottom It stands vertically if you

look from the front and it looks slanted inside It

is designed like this in order to give more room

on the bottom After cutting out furrows from the

wood for blind that connects the legs and tabletop

is first soaked in water until it gets soft enough

to bend Making it with one piece of wood allows

the structure sturdier Same method is often used

in contemporary furniture making because it

avoids waste of material as well as distortion of its

tabletop This sobanrsquos lsquoreasonablersquo design must

have captivated young designerrsquos eye without

needing to hear further explanation WouldnrsquotNaju

soban deserve evaluation as universal design even

from the Westernized contemporary viewpoint

Only regret is that I have not realized it earlier

This pot design was the first creation after I

came back from Japan about 10 years ago Its

production is still continued because it has been

loved for its balance and safety not to mention the

high functionality Despite that the harder it gets

the more we try to design a pot When I started

teaching college students I took over plaster

casting class that most students hate (If you are

ceramic major you would understand) Casting

can be frustrating for students before they get

to learn to have fun However I introduced them

various artworks that requires plaster casting

and persuaded them that it is necessary to get

familiarize if they wan to make as such I used to

show them NHKrsquos video documentation of work

by Sakaeki Masatoshi who has been my teacher

Lee Kyungmin one of my students ended up

visiting Japan because of my class and learned

under him for one year There are two works here

I am introducing one is Sakaeki Masatoshirsquos pot

design entitled Handle Vessel Series and Lee

Kyungminrsquos coffee cup and saucer design Circus

Series One is by teacher and by the student tied

to me as common denominator

This black matte pot was designed in 1995 but it

was only 2004 when it finally got mass-produced

I wonder if it owed to the unique shape of the

handle Comfortable contours and playful volume

and cobalt decoration etc theses recurring

characteristics in my teacherrsquos work provokes one

to feel that they must have at least one of them

This pot also has a handle that draws our attention

It has the shape of a thumb as if it presses its lid

Thus the handle does not touch the belly and it

does not get hot because it is hollowed The tip of

spout is designed not to waste even a drop The

lid that looks like a frogrsquos eye seems to represent

the completeness of his design he enjoyed While

it satisfies the function the shape is somewhat

strange The pot is sitting on my windowsill

since last Korea-Japan exchange exhibition 8-9

years ago Lee Kyungminrsquos coffee cup and a

saucer have cool and straight line that gives out

undecipherable tension It already has passed 5

years since he first visited this studio with the set

The cup with black glistening glaze fits precisely

in its depression Round contour inside of the

handle gives comfort It clearly shows his attention

to functionality in his design Is it why I even

heard pleasant news that he won a first place at

Westerwald Preis When I design kitchenware I

keep in mind that functionality is the essential It is

always the question when to stop I would like to

ask them if I am doing right

Sacred artifacts are expression of belief from a

community of church as well as criterion that

shows level of development of the church Sacred

artifacts including crosses are used in various

ways within Christianity Catholics in particular

holy images cross rosary vessel for holy water

icon etc are used to help spiritual exercise on

personal level and this makes one person to keep

quite large number of sacred artifacts Crosses

were once used to hang prisoners in ancient EastHowever after Jesus Christ sacrificed himself

on the cross for the redemption of human sins

on behalf of all humanity cross has become the

theological symbol for his lsquohardship and deathrsquo

lsquosacrifice and loversquo lsquoimmortality and salvationrsquo

The forms of cross vary more than you think For

me vertical line means the relation between the

God and me while horizontal line does relation

between me and people who live together the

same period of time As one of those who barely

manage day-to-day hardship by the force of life

cross becomes the energy source to survive the

present and the reason for another day I start

my day making an eye contact with it The silver

cross for holding made by Cho Sungho is a very

special one among the sacred artifacts that I have

We all are influenced by objects around us in daily

lives lsquoSincerityrsquo toward religion always conveys

the scent of artistic aura and the art that pursues

sincere beauty always allow us to experience

religious transcendence What enables my lifetoday is this belief that there always exists utmost

beauty wherever art crosses religion

What kind of work you have been working on

In college years I was interested in experimenting

various materials and approaches Feeling being

more curious about materials pursuing graduate

level education seemed natural to me as next

step There I was introduced environmental

issues and started making pertinent objects

First piece that I made was lunch box Though

pet bottle that is considered as disposable it is

recyclable So I made light weighted lunch box

with it Taking it as starting point I have been

making kitchenware and baskets that are closed

to our daily lives with my own methods

Where do you get your inspiration

Nothing particular Architectures factory goods

or various materials from media have been onesOften times things just came in to my mind while

making or using objects Open-fold fruit bowl

for example I kept thinking to make a bowl that

I can open and fold and the idea came when I

looked at the shape of flower and I developed

from it

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or crafters I do not hung up with the

idea of being unique Originality of an object is

not something that its maker can judge I just

want to make good things and try to fully express

what I think

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I want to be someone who enriches

the living of people or someone who deeply

concerned with authentic happiness

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers My advisor Professor

Koh Bohyung

What do you think young crafters and designers

including you should do for the development

of craft and design of the country If you are a

young crafter or designer I think it is important

have faith in yourself and act by it Artist shouldhave faith and be able to express his own voice

to the world

If you sum up your art and its characteristicsinto one sentence Tableware design that

combines practicality and estheticism

Tell us briefly about the technique you use and

the making process of your work I have mostly

worked on white porcelain tableware Majority of

them were made with wheel throwing technique

Slip casting is also used when I wanted more

unique design Sometime I use different glaze for

inside from out side As I am working more on

tableware I get the chance to use it for myself

putting my food in them and make corrections

on the design if needed

Silver finishing is used for some of the works Is

there special reason for that I went to a special

talk addressed by a Japanese artist when I was

in grad school He used silver foils on small

part of his work and that got interested me to try

some experiments using silver Silver gives you

feeling if it is alive because it gradually changes

its color as it gets oxidized So I have continued

using silver as finishing material since 2007

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Heejong Brandrdquo

lsquoContaining stories in the designrsquo might be it

When I design an item I think of wonderful

memories in the past or present to apply in it

You are running a shop And that is rare for

artists What good is in running your own shop

I have worked considering that fairs are

equivalent to exhibitions And I value the time

I communicate with audience at the field

However fairs are only stayed open up to 5days making the time with audience too short

I also have been thinking it costs a lot to be in

a fair and find it hectic packing and unpacking

freights Then I opened a shop at Sagimakgol

Icheon Gyeonggi Province It was located in

the middle of wholesale district where in which

number of young artists and retail customers

are growing My wife who majored ceramic art is

running the shop She is most helpful because

she understands my art more than anyone else

and she pays attention to the responses from the

customers

What is future plan for your art Things that

I would like to try are endless when you are

working on tableware As various as foods are I

would like to make all kind of tableware I can see

myself focusing on tableware for a while There is

one thing that I really want to try to do It is my

dream to go to a quiet place later and build a kiln

firing with logs for ceramics without glaze Firing

with logs and using ashes f or coloring ceramics

is really interesting

Is there an artist who influenced on your work I

should be careful but my teachers are not either

books or senior artists It is customers I try to

make things that my customers want If one

does not figure out what his customers want or

cannot read the trend good craft design cannot

be made If basic principle of craft is to make

something for daily use it must be right to make

what people want with my own taste

knotting and lacquer after leaving her life as a designer which she spent half of

Please explain your work lsquothe Knots Bagrsquo

It is a second bag inspired by our forefathersrsquo

craft called gat Its string was the only means formen to accessorize I wanted to link the virtue

of the string to contemporary living with subtlety

and grace to come up with the second bag This

bag looks like a gat if you put it upside down

(It also reminds us of donut too so it would be

okay to call it lsquodonut bagrsquo Polyester is mostly

used to make these because if you use natural

fabric the signature pleats are gone

It seems that name of the brand lsquoBachirsquo holds

your design philosophy as a whole It is the

name of the brand and the name of my company

also Bachi refers to a person who devotes his

life to make only one thing The word can be

combined with name of the thing that bachi

make Letrsquos say someone is called gatbachi

it refers to someone who makes things with

gat(leather) and matchstick bachi means not

someone who sells matchstick but makes and

sells them They were creators literally I wanted

to succeed in the mind of theirs

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Contemporary application of tradition

Why do you favor knotting technique

If you make a mistake while applying lacquer

you can either apply one more layer or find

another way of correcting it However if you

make a mistake during knotting you cannot

ever get the result that you intended It is why

knotting is both difficult and attractive One of

the reasons that make knotting craftsmen so

great is they memorize all the techniques by

heart But it makes hard to disseminate I felt

bad this traditional knotting continued only to

be in the state of home decoration Through

lsquoapplicationrsquo processes I wanted such traditionbe penetrated in to the lives of ours I developed

ideas that make knots equipped with functions

instead being considered as additional element

old school ornament Its result is lsquothe knots bagrsquo

you see here

How do you envision your life as crafter

in ten years I hope I am a craft designer

acknowledged for my editions and I would like to

publish a monograph

Many attach expression of lsquofun furniturersquo on your

work If you sum up your art into one sentence

what would that be

Design that combines curiosity and imagination

Designer Kim Juilrsquos work can be described

as something literally crosses over craft and

design After the detailed design you add labor

element by hand donrsquot you

Thatrsquos right It is literally lsquocraft+designrsquo I consider

the basic way of thinking and story behind craft

and design are same They only have different

ways of expression My work also combines

industrial technique and fabrication process

of craft But I would not particularly want to

separate them either

Eco-friendliness has become the issue needsto be resolved in design and craft field Do you

have anything in your work that implements

such issue I am incorporating lsquocirculation

structurersquo in the principle of design If possible I

choose sturdy and recyclable material and eco-

friendly elements are always included in the

foundation of my design

05 lsquov-tworsquo This V shaped sofa

Including Craft Trend Fair I have participated

in many other fairs related to craft and design

Salone Satellite that I have participated with the

students from Hanseo University left me with

deep impression among them It meant a lot

because we were officially invited through one

are lsquobuilding forms and style through designrsquo

How did you start metal craft What was the

motivation My father has been in jewelry craft

industry over 30 years I had chance to look at him

working and gradually got interested in this field

Looking closely at daily nicknacks drawing ideas

being curious about hands on processes and

enjoying to make them led me to the work today

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Hyunsung Brandrdquo

I would like to say that it is effectiveness in

function practicality simplicity and friendliness of

design

Is there an artist who influenced you And Why

Sculptor Brancusi influenced me a lot He got

rid of all the unnecessary details and his way of

condensing all the energies inside is quite inspiringIndustrial designer Dieter Rams as well as metal

crafter Koh Bohyung and Shim Hyunseok come

to my mind These two craftsmen taught me not

only through the their work but also through the

way of living and way of looking at things

Sikijang exhibition ltThe coffee

makers+gt (20141126~1220 Arumjigi

02 03 His studio view

04 Bronze dripper

What is most important aspect in creating

works I purposely avoid make things in perfect

and stylish form Most responses that I get

are they look a bit clumsy I make an effort to

find shapes that are imperfect or clumsy form

purposely This is to provoke the viewers to

question to a certain extend themselves about

forms I feel happiest when the void I created

leads to the conversation with the viewers

What is the best lsquomasterpiecersquo in craft or

design that you ever encountered

Not long ago I was flabbergasted by Park

Honggursquos woodenware It has the shape that

does not have any unnecessary element It is

no doubt that he knows his material so well

What do you think young crafters anddesigners including you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

I think Korea society is quite chaotic now The

worse thing is that the entire burden from such

situation is loaded on to young generationrsquos

shoulders In the society where landing on a job

they can love and being happy is impossible

choosing craft as their job is even harder I

would like to say that we should think the fact

that we made such a difficult decision as it is

and it is worthy enough to think one should

continue what they have been doing

Please tell me about your work lsquoSoSo( 小昭 )rsquo

SoSo is a set of spoon chopstick and cutlery

rest using traditional techniques from mother-

of-pearl lacquer and gilding Pendant The idea

of Ah Ottrsquo came up while working on the spoon

rest

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Lacquer+blank All of my works is finished with

lacquer in the end

What kinds of processes are needed to produce

one work SoSo for example it takes 3-4 times

of lacquering on cut wood Sometime several

more times of lacquering and grinding are

needed after gluing mother-of-pearl or gold foil in

order to set it Lastly it is finished with polishing

What is the uniqueness of lsquoKang Heejung

Brandrsquo lsquoReservednessrsquo The style that is

traditional but not classical

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers who is active in the field

It is hard to pick just one since there are so

many great designers in Korea Among foreign

designers I love Enzo Mari who is representative

of Italian Modern design and Japanese designer

Nagaoka Genmei

What drives you to continue your work

Thought that there are people who want my

work(product)

Is there an item that you would like to challenge

to create in the future I would like a chance to

design a space full with my works

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I would like to continue making things

It does not have to be a lot but constantly While

showing my own color I would like to be a crafter

who makes up-to-dated objects that people trust

and want to have

Do you have other objects that inspire you

Though the method of numbering each

ceramic tiles in the elements of ceramic

object can sound lsquonot different than otherrsquo and

disadvantageous

Yes I heard that many times People even tell me

to put a stop to it However I would not make a

big effort to change the way of working or break

the habit If the time comes that I get bored or I

wonrsquot be able to do it with some reason I would

follow the natural course I too am curious how

my work is going to be ended The same as two

characters ltWaiting for Godotgt without knowing

who Godot is I just add the tiles I am doing it as

far as I can Wouldnrsquot it be okay if one or two do

something looks stupid

Work by Bae Sejin is more of a sculpture thanceramic Do you consider yourself you are on

the border between them

I do not particularly feel the need of categorize

such thing I am on the border of this side end

and that side Next project that I am planning

will be more ambiguous in terms of the borders

But one thing is sure that I will continue to keep

01 04 Bae Sejinrsquos ltWaiting

for Godotgt

02 03 Bae Sejinrsquos sculptural

and flat object show wide

spectrum of craft

this position because I believe that craft is

something for a man devotes himself and make

it with all his heart

What issue interests you as an artist

First is adding functionality on sculptural object

(it means to make something useful in life)

Second is to reduce the size of the works For

that matter trying to make change in materials

rather than clay

Your experience with fairs abroad as

participants or attendee have influenced you

Biggest influence I get from such experience is

being motivated One thing that you constantly

have in your mind is lsquoif you are doing rightrsquo

When many people like your work in exhibitions

abroad and that leads to sales channel it can

be great motivation for your art

German word for lsquoflowrsquo While it refers to flowing pattern that two or more

colors are mixed but it also denotes psychological state in which one is

lsquoimmersed into something enough to forget time flowsrsquo Her traditional

porcelain is contemporary expression of her passion energy and juissance that

What kind of work have you created

I have created objects for a long time But I

started to add functionality in my works that is

entitled lsquoArt Deco Warersquo Cups dishes bowls

etc I am communicating with people through

art porcelain goods that emphasizes both

aestheticity and functionality

Which material do you prefer to use And Why

I normally use white clay White clay is most

effective and appropriate material that can bring

out the essential beauty of Korean traditional craft

The material also allows me to accentuate stylistic

finishing at the same time There I add colored

clay and liquid gold to create various flows which

is the concept in the lsquoFliessenrsquo series

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or potters As I continue the concept

of lsquoFliessenrsquo through the brand called lsquoceramic

by leezeesoorsquo I was able to present variety of

patterns every year Harmony of aestheticity and

visualizing both contemporary and traditional

sensibility with white clay may be counted as the

characteristics of my work

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers I admire Lee Youngjae

who lives in Germany When I was having hard

time to choose which school I should go in

Germany to study pottery I ran into him on a

street Then he advised me to go Giebichenstein

late Lee Ungno inspire me

Besides this do you have any other objects

that inspire you I am particularly impressed by

paintings depicting group of people among the

It is no doubt that his cups will be appreciated by gentlemen rather than by

the hands of usual ladies His cups are intriguing though different from usual

designs he does not either throw on the wheel or cast but make them with

slab of clay so they look like he rolled cardboards He always goes beyond

conventional methods including experimenting with combination of clay and

metal and polishing surface of ceramic instead of glazing This couldnrsquot help

to make you wonder lsquowhat is the nextrsquo

Your brand name lsquoDeep Cobaltrsquo sounds unique

What is the meaning behind it

I ran in to the phrase while reading a novel when

I was young I liked its abstract association with

lsquothe color of a deep oceanrsquo

You chose handbuilding technique with slab of

clay instead of wheel throwing or casting What

are the merits and demerits

Wheel throwing and casting technique require

postproduction process even after building

shapes and drying the clay On one hand

handbuilding method allows me to finish the

making process at the building shapes stage

without additional process It also allows me to

create the shape my porcelains a fun look of

paper On the other hand it has low success

rate and takes longer time because it requires

polishing process after second firing

Another unusual fact of the Deep Cobalt is that

it uses clay called Black Mountain instead of

normal porcelain clay What is the reason for it

First of all it is because of the color of the clay I

learned about it while I was looking for clay that

has rougher texture and color There are clays

with rough texture but no such color It fitted very

well for my work that uses minimum amount of

glaze and emphasizing natural characteristics of

clay Using heat wire (in order not to be rusted

while fired on 1200 degree) or gluing leather is

the influence from the experience of ceramic

object work I did before I started ceramic craft

Maybe that is the reason

Would you make self-assessment of the fact

why Deep Cobalt has drawn attention among

active crafters

I would say people tend to be amazed by them

rather than loving them They look different than

other craftersrsquo Would it be the reason My work

looks like rather a tin can than ceramic pot The

basic principle is being persistent attempting to

make new design I kept in mind that the cups

are drinking tool The cup is the outcome of the

design that I approached from this perspective

Which design do you think is lsquothe best of the

01 04 He flattens slab of clay and builds the shape by

rolling them like a sheet of paper

02 He recently added leather on his heat wire handle

03 Mug cups and strainer that reveals natural

characteristics of clay called lsquoBlack Mountainrsquo

best craft or deignrsquo Freitag bags Not only the

design is excellent but also the concept behind

deserves the status It recycles used seat belt

bicycle tube truck taps etc It is quite interesting

to know people still love them even though each

bag looks different from each other because it is

recycling used materials

Including artist Hyun Sanghwa what do you

think the young artists lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

If you have idea of a work you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

its function and characteristics of the material He

also does not hide changes that take place during

manufacturing process because his motto is all should

be able to understand and appreciate designer

furniture by its simplicity and straightforwardness

notion of that they are difficult and complex

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Also I would like to work on Korean restaurant

that I would pour my whole energy and ability on

its furniture interior tableware etc

Ten years from now what kind of crafter or

designer you want to be considered

An artist who knows his material well

Who do you highly esteem among crafters or

designers

furniture design and the architect Ando Tadao

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

Boy-rice) etchellip they are the sosengs that we are planning

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

of white snow Stepping on the heaped up snowfall we

have visited Gongjursquos attractions There were full of old

stories as a city of history without fail and precious relics

were boasting its grace here and there as museum without

roof Moreover the temples under the blanket of snow

looked quite romantic

If one asks to pick what I like I will choose

maksabal (earthenware bowl) There have been

many on-going researches and examination

on maksabal However my fascination toward

maksabal has nothing to do with such frenzy It has

been already nearly 20 years that I have realized

that all I like always have the prefix lsquo mak~rsquo in them

makgooksoo makkimchi makgeolli hellip

Maksabal is simply made bowl without finesse of

detail It is said that a potter in olden days was

able to make 200-300 of maksabal per a day In

order to do that the potter did not spend long time

when raise a lump of clay for a bowl If you look

inside you can see traces of potterrsquos finger of who

hurriedMaksabal of Joseon Dynasty is an object

of extremely contemporary design in the sense

that plainly exposes making process I think it was

not at all difficult to make the surface smooth using

cloth or something if they wanted I believe that our

ancestors drew a line on which they think it is good

enough to leave it as it were The thoughts that led

to this conclusion came from the realization of the

same criteria not only in hanok residents temples

and Confucian architectures but also in music

fashion and food Such criteria should not be

considered as coincidence but deliberate decision

First you can find same principle of leaving the

materials as they were without artificial deformation

was applied to most cases of architecture no

matter they were wood or stone Same aesthetic

decision goes to locating architecture to sit without

interrupting the cartography of the land

Such aesthetics of less refined but light and

straightforwardness appears onto our traditional

music and garments For example a drummer

inserts interactive and improvisational rejoinders

here and there in the middle of chang (narrative

song) while beating time of the piece Or

traditional garment hanbok is composed of folds

and openings to create spontaneity In many

places within our culture one can easily find

that permeated is the aesthetics of lsquo mak~ and

improvisationrsquo

Though it is small maksabal is an excellent

example that connotes so many I believe this

came from the fact that our ancestors had this

attitude higher taste and perspective in terms of

aesthetics preferring to accept their surroundings

and to breathe together with them than pursue

completeness

While looking carefully at both edges and the gap

between them you press a ruler down You raise

a pencil and let your right hand past over the left

one then the pencil makes a path along the ruler

Once you pick up pencil and ruler you make clean

and neat lines I likedhellip that feeling It might sound

silly considering I am in fine art field However I

always loved tools that you can find in architecture

like ruler compass and drafting instruments One

day I had to chance to visit a studio of my teacher

in Accademia di Belle Arti Italy still having the

admiration toward such instruments I found him

drawing something resembles with architectural

plan From the sight I recalled the merits of ruler

and compass This may have contributed to my

greater affection toward rulers It has been a quite

sometime that I got this habit to find stationery

corner or bookstore looking for lsquorulerrsquo whenever I

travel It is amazing to find that this trivial object

can reflects the differences of each country The

rulers that I rummaged like that now become a

collection that reflects my taste We often use lsquorulerrsquo

as a metaphor Each personrsquos standard criterion

can be seen through eyes thought in head and

felt with heart Considering unit for measuring

length has provided us a reference point from value

judgment of the invisible criterion for beauty tenet

of money to levels of success the fact that lsquorulerrsquo

is deeply involved with our lives makes me amazed

and scared

Soban is an interesting object A table normally

functions to gather people around them However

soban small portable dining table is an item

that exhibits Korearsquos table custom first you have

to sit on the floor and this table is designed for

one person Though my first admiration toward

furniture design in college years went with Danish

design cornerstone of Scandinavianrsquos I was

fascinated Danish designrsquos timelessness enough

to go to study and the experience made deep

impact that can be compared to culture shock on

who I am now Ironic enough life there taught me

the value of lsquomy ownrsquo culture in which I was born

and raised This is the biggest knowledge I got

from studying abroad It is a shame that I have not

learned about Naju soban until I was 32 years old

when I met Kim Choonsik who is an intangible

cultural treasure of Korea for soban makingNaju

soban then appeared to be most outstanding even

for the eyes of young designer The legs of Naju

soban has round cylinder shape that narrows

down toward the bottom It stands vertically if you

look from the front and it looks slanted inside It

is designed like this in order to give more room

on the bottom After cutting out furrows from the

wood for blind that connects the legs and tabletop

is first soaked in water until it gets soft enough

to bend Making it with one piece of wood allows

the structure sturdier Same method is often used

in contemporary furniture making because it

avoids waste of material as well as distortion of its

tabletop This sobanrsquos lsquoreasonablersquo design must

have captivated young designerrsquos eye without

needing to hear further explanation WouldnrsquotNaju

soban deserve evaluation as universal design even

from the Westernized contemporary viewpoint

Only regret is that I have not realized it earlier

This pot design was the first creation after I

came back from Japan about 10 years ago Its

production is still continued because it has been

loved for its balance and safety not to mention the

high functionality Despite that the harder it gets

the more we try to design a pot When I started

teaching college students I took over plaster

casting class that most students hate (If you are

ceramic major you would understand) Casting

can be frustrating for students before they get

to learn to have fun However I introduced them

various artworks that requires plaster casting

and persuaded them that it is necessary to get

familiarize if they wan to make as such I used to

show them NHKrsquos video documentation of work

by Sakaeki Masatoshi who has been my teacher

Lee Kyungmin one of my students ended up

visiting Japan because of my class and learned

under him for one year There are two works here

I am introducing one is Sakaeki Masatoshirsquos pot

design entitled Handle Vessel Series and Lee

Kyungminrsquos coffee cup and saucer design Circus

Series One is by teacher and by the student tied

to me as common denominator

This black matte pot was designed in 1995 but it

was only 2004 when it finally got mass-produced

I wonder if it owed to the unique shape of the

handle Comfortable contours and playful volume

and cobalt decoration etc theses recurring

characteristics in my teacherrsquos work provokes one

to feel that they must have at least one of them

This pot also has a handle that draws our attention

It has the shape of a thumb as if it presses its lid

Thus the handle does not touch the belly and it

does not get hot because it is hollowed The tip of

spout is designed not to waste even a drop The

lid that looks like a frogrsquos eye seems to represent

the completeness of his design he enjoyed While

it satisfies the function the shape is somewhat

strange The pot is sitting on my windowsill

since last Korea-Japan exchange exhibition 8-9

years ago Lee Kyungminrsquos coffee cup and a

saucer have cool and straight line that gives out

undecipherable tension It already has passed 5

years since he first visited this studio with the set

The cup with black glistening glaze fits precisely

in its depression Round contour inside of the

handle gives comfort It clearly shows his attention

to functionality in his design Is it why I even

heard pleasant news that he won a first place at

Westerwald Preis When I design kitchenware I

keep in mind that functionality is the essential It is

always the question when to stop I would like to

ask them if I am doing right

Sacred artifacts are expression of belief from a

community of church as well as criterion that

shows level of development of the church Sacred

artifacts including crosses are used in various

ways within Christianity Catholics in particular

holy images cross rosary vessel for holy water

icon etc are used to help spiritual exercise on

personal level and this makes one person to keep

quite large number of sacred artifacts Crosses

were once used to hang prisoners in ancient EastHowever after Jesus Christ sacrificed himself

on the cross for the redemption of human sins

on behalf of all humanity cross has become the

theological symbol for his lsquohardship and deathrsquo

lsquosacrifice and loversquo lsquoimmortality and salvationrsquo

The forms of cross vary more than you think For

me vertical line means the relation between the

God and me while horizontal line does relation

between me and people who live together the

same period of time As one of those who barely

manage day-to-day hardship by the force of life

cross becomes the energy source to survive the

present and the reason for another day I start

my day making an eye contact with it The silver

cross for holding made by Cho Sungho is a very

special one among the sacred artifacts that I have

We all are influenced by objects around us in daily

lives lsquoSincerityrsquo toward religion always conveys

the scent of artistic aura and the art that pursues

sincere beauty always allow us to experience

religious transcendence What enables my lifetoday is this belief that there always exists utmost

beauty wherever art crosses religion

What kind of work you have been working on

In college years I was interested in experimenting

various materials and approaches Feeling being

more curious about materials pursuing graduate

level education seemed natural to me as next

step There I was introduced environmental

issues and started making pertinent objects

First piece that I made was lunch box Though

pet bottle that is considered as disposable it is

recyclable So I made light weighted lunch box

with it Taking it as starting point I have been

making kitchenware and baskets that are closed

to our daily lives with my own methods

Where do you get your inspiration

Nothing particular Architectures factory goods

or various materials from media have been onesOften times things just came in to my mind while

making or using objects Open-fold fruit bowl

for example I kept thinking to make a bowl that

I can open and fold and the idea came when I

looked at the shape of flower and I developed

from it

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or crafters I do not hung up with the

idea of being unique Originality of an object is

not something that its maker can judge I just

want to make good things and try to fully express

what I think

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I want to be someone who enriches

the living of people or someone who deeply

concerned with authentic happiness

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers My advisor Professor

Koh Bohyung

What do you think young crafters and designers

including you should do for the development

of craft and design of the country If you are a

young crafter or designer I think it is important

have faith in yourself and act by it Artist shouldhave faith and be able to express his own voice

to the world

If you sum up your art and its characteristicsinto one sentence Tableware design that

combines practicality and estheticism

Tell us briefly about the technique you use and

the making process of your work I have mostly

worked on white porcelain tableware Majority of

them were made with wheel throwing technique

Slip casting is also used when I wanted more

unique design Sometime I use different glaze for

inside from out side As I am working more on

tableware I get the chance to use it for myself

putting my food in them and make corrections

on the design if needed

Silver finishing is used for some of the works Is

there special reason for that I went to a special

talk addressed by a Japanese artist when I was

in grad school He used silver foils on small

part of his work and that got interested me to try

some experiments using silver Silver gives you

feeling if it is alive because it gradually changes

its color as it gets oxidized So I have continued

using silver as finishing material since 2007

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Heejong Brandrdquo

lsquoContaining stories in the designrsquo might be it

When I design an item I think of wonderful

memories in the past or present to apply in it

You are running a shop And that is rare for

artists What good is in running your own shop

I have worked considering that fairs are

equivalent to exhibitions And I value the time

I communicate with audience at the field

However fairs are only stayed open up to 5days making the time with audience too short

I also have been thinking it costs a lot to be in

a fair and find it hectic packing and unpacking

freights Then I opened a shop at Sagimakgol

Icheon Gyeonggi Province It was located in

the middle of wholesale district where in which

number of young artists and retail customers

are growing My wife who majored ceramic art is

running the shop She is most helpful because

she understands my art more than anyone else

and she pays attention to the responses from the

customers

What is future plan for your art Things that

I would like to try are endless when you are

working on tableware As various as foods are I

would like to make all kind of tableware I can see

myself focusing on tableware for a while There is

one thing that I really want to try to do It is my

dream to go to a quiet place later and build a kiln

firing with logs for ceramics without glaze Firing

with logs and using ashes f or coloring ceramics

is really interesting

Is there an artist who influenced on your work I

should be careful but my teachers are not either

books or senior artists It is customers I try to

make things that my customers want If one

does not figure out what his customers want or

cannot read the trend good craft design cannot

be made If basic principle of craft is to make

something for daily use it must be right to make

what people want with my own taste

Please explain your work lsquothe Knots Bagrsquo

It is a second bag inspired by our forefathersrsquo

craft called gat Its string was the only means formen to accessorize I wanted to link the virtue

of the string to contemporary living with subtlety

and grace to come up with the second bag This

bag looks like a gat if you put it upside down

(It also reminds us of donut too so it would be

okay to call it lsquodonut bagrsquo Polyester is mostly

used to make these because if you use natural

fabric the signature pleats are gone

It seems that name of the brand lsquoBachirsquo holds

your design philosophy as a whole It is the

name of the brand and the name of my company

also Bachi refers to a person who devotes his

life to make only one thing The word can be

combined with name of the thing that bachi

make Letrsquos say someone is called gatbachi

it refers to someone who makes things with

gat(leather) and matchstick bachi means not

someone who sells matchstick but makes and

sells them They were creators literally I wanted

to succeed in the mind of theirs

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Contemporary application of tradition

Why do you favor knotting technique

If you make a mistake while applying lacquer

you can either apply one more layer or find

another way of correcting it However if you

make a mistake during knotting you cannot

ever get the result that you intended It is why

knotting is both difficult and attractive One of

the reasons that make knotting craftsmen so

great is they memorize all the techniques by

heart But it makes hard to disseminate I felt

bad this traditional knotting continued only to

be in the state of home decoration Through

lsquoapplicationrsquo processes I wanted such traditionbe penetrated in to the lives of ours I developed

ideas that make knots equipped with functions

instead being considered as additional element

old school ornament Its result is lsquothe knots bagrsquo

you see here

How do you envision your life as crafter

in ten years I hope I am a craft designer

acknowledged for my editions and I would like to

publish a monograph

Many attach expression of lsquofun furniturersquo on your

work If you sum up your art into one sentence

what would that be

Design that combines curiosity and imagination

Designer Kim Juilrsquos work can be described

as something literally crosses over craft and

design After the detailed design you add labor

element by hand donrsquot you

Thatrsquos right It is literally lsquocraft+designrsquo I consider

the basic way of thinking and story behind craft

and design are same They only have different

ways of expression My work also combines

industrial technique and fabrication process

of craft But I would not particularly want to

separate them either

Eco-friendliness has become the issue needsto be resolved in design and craft field Do you

have anything in your work that implements

such issue I am incorporating lsquocirculation

structurersquo in the principle of design If possible I

choose sturdy and recyclable material and eco-

friendly elements are always included in the

foundation of my design

Including Craft Trend Fair I have participated

in many other fairs related to craft and design

Salone Satellite that I have participated with the

students from Hanseo University left me with

deep impression among them It meant a lot

because we were officially invited through one

year of preparation We received remarks like we

are lsquobuilding forms and style through designrsquo

We took the theme lsquocrossing point of East and

How did you start metal craft What was the

motivation My father has been in jewelry craft

industry over 30 years I had chance to look at him

working and gradually got interested in this field

Looking closely at daily nicknacks drawing ideas

being curious about hands on processes and

enjoying to make them led me to the work today

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Hyunsung Brandrdquo

I would like to say that it is effectiveness in

function practicality simplicity and friendliness of

design

Is there an artist who influenced you And Why

Sculptor Brancusi influenced me a lot He got

rid of all the unnecessary details and his way of

condensing all the energies inside is quite inspiringIndustrial designer Dieter Rams as well as metal

crafter Koh Bohyung and Shim Hyunseok come

to my mind These two craftsmen taught me not

only through the their work but also through the

way of living and way of looking at things

04 Bronze dripper

What is most important aspect in creating

works I purposely avoid make things in perfect

and stylish form Most responses that I get

are they look a bit clumsy I make an effort to

find shapes that are imperfect or clumsy form

purposely This is to provoke the viewers to

question to a certain extend themselves about

forms I feel happiest when the void I created

leads to the conversation with the viewers

What is the best lsquomasterpiecersquo in craft or

design that you ever encountered

Not long ago I was flabbergasted by Park

Honggursquos woodenware It has the shape that

does not have any unnecessary element It is

no doubt that he knows his material so well

What do you think young crafters anddesigners including you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

I think Korea society is quite chaotic now The

worse thing is that the entire burden from such

situation is loaded on to young generationrsquos

shoulders In the society where landing on a job

they can love and being happy is impossible

choosing craft as their job is even harder I

would like to say that we should think the fact

that we made such a difficult decision as it is

and it is worthy enough to think one should

continue what they have been doing

Please tell me about your work lsquoSoSo( 小昭 )rsquo

SoSo is a set of spoon chopstick and cutlery

rest using traditional techniques from mother-

of-pearl lacquer and gilding Pendant The idea

of Ah Ottrsquo came up while working on the spoon

rest

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Lacquer+blank All of my works is finished with

lacquer in the end

What kinds of processes are needed to produce

one work SoSo for example it takes 3-4 times

of lacquering on cut wood Sometime several

more times of lacquering and grinding are

needed after gluing mother-of-pearl or gold foil in

order to set it Lastly it is finished with polishing

What is the uniqueness of lsquoKang Heejung

Brandrsquo lsquoReservednessrsquo The style that is

traditional but not classical

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers who is active in the field

It is hard to pick just one since there are so

many great designers in Korea Among foreign

designers I love Enzo Mari who is representative

of Italian Modern design and Japanese designer

Nagaoka Genmei

What drives you to continue your work

Thought that there are people who want my

work(product)

Is there an item that you would like to challenge

to create in the future I would like a chance to

design a space full with my works

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I would like to continue making things

It does not have to be a lot but constantly While

showing my own color I would like to be a crafter

who makes up-to-dated objects that people trust

and want to have

Do you have other objects that inspire you

Though the method of numbering each

ceramic tiles in the elements of ceramic

object can sound lsquonot different than otherrsquo and

disadvantageous

Yes I heard that many times People even tell me

to put a stop to it However I would not make a

big effort to change the way of working or break

the habit If the time comes that I get bored or I

wonrsquot be able to do it with some reason I would

follow the natural course I too am curious how

my work is going to be ended The same as two

characters ltWaiting for Godotgt without knowing

who Godot is I just add the tiles I am doing it as

far as I can Wouldnrsquot it be okay if one or two do

something looks stupid

Work by Bae Sejin is more of a sculpture thanceramic Do you consider yourself you are on

the border between them

I do not particularly feel the need of categorize

such thing I am on the border of this side end

and that side Next project that I am planning

will be more ambiguous in terms of the borders

But one thing is sure that I will continue to keep

01 04 Bae Sejinrsquos ltWaiting

for Godotgt

02 03 Bae Sejinrsquos sculptural

and flat object show wide

spectrum of craft

this position because I believe that craft is

something for a man devotes himself and make

it with all his heart

What issue interests you as an artist

First is adding functionality on sculptural object

(it means to make something useful in life)

Second is to reduce the size of the works For

that matter trying to make change in materials

rather than clay

Your experience with fairs abroad as

participants or attendee have influenced you

Biggest influence I get from such experience is

being motivated One thing that you constantly

have in your mind is lsquoif you are doing rightrsquo

When many people like your work in exhibitions

abroad and that leads to sales channel it can

be great motivation for your art

LEE ZEESOO

Lee Zeesoo has created lsquoFliessenrsquo series since six years ago Fliessen is a

German word for lsquoflowrsquo While it refers to flowing pattern that two or more

colors are mixed but it also denotes psychological state in which one is

lsquoimmersed into something enough to forget time flowsrsquo Her traditional

porcelain is contemporary expression of her passion energy and juissance that

spring up when she immerses into her work

What kind of work have you created

I have created objects for a long time But I

started to add functionality in my works that is

entitled lsquoArt Deco Warersquo Cups dishes bowls

etc I am communicating with people through

art porcelain goods that emphasizes both

aestheticity and functionality

Which material do you prefer to use And Why

I normally use white clay White clay is most

effective and appropriate material that can bring

out the essential beauty of Korean traditional craft

The material also allows me to accentuate stylistic

finishing at the same time There I add colored

clay and liquid gold to create various flows which

is the concept in the lsquoFliessenrsquo series

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or potters As I continue the concept

of lsquoFliessenrsquo through the brand called lsquoceramic

by leezeesoorsquo I was able to present variety of

patterns every year Harmony of aestheticity and

visualizing both contemporary and traditional

sensibility with white clay may be counted as the

characteristics of my work

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers I admire Lee Youngjae

who lives in Germany When I was having hard

time to choose which school I should go in

Germany to study pottery I ran into him on a

street Then he advised me to go Giebichenstein

late Lee Ungno inspire me

Besides this do you have any other objects

that inspire you I am particularly impressed by

paintings depicting group of people among the

architecture etc there are too many to pick just

one

It is no doubt that his cups will be appreciated by gentlemen rather than by

the hands of usual ladies His cups are intriguing though different from usual

designs he does not either throw on the wheel or cast but make them with

slab of clay so they look like he rolled cardboards He always goes beyond

conventional methods including experimenting with combination of clay and

metal and polishing surface of ceramic instead of glazing This couldnrsquot help

to make you wonder lsquowhat is the nextrsquo

Your brand name lsquoDeep Cobaltrsquo sounds unique

What is the meaning behind it

I ran in to the phrase while reading a novel when

I was young I liked its abstract association with

lsquothe color of a deep oceanrsquo

You chose handbuilding technique with slab of

clay instead of wheel throwing or casting What

are the merits and demerits

Wheel throwing and casting technique require

postproduction process even after building

shapes and drying the clay On one hand

handbuilding method allows me to finish the

making process at the building shapes stage

without additional process It also allows me to

create the shape my porcelains a fun look of

paper On the other hand it has low success

rate and takes longer time because it requires

polishing process after second firing

Another unusual fact of the Deep Cobalt is that

it uses clay called Black Mountain instead of

normal porcelain clay What is the reason for it

First of all it is because of the color of the clay I

learned about it while I was looking for clay that

has rougher texture and color There are clays

with rough texture but no such color It fitted very

well for my work that uses minimum amount of

glaze and emphasizing natural characteristics of

clay Using heat wire (in order not to be rusted

while fired on 1200 degree) or gluing leather is

the influence from the experience of ceramic

object work I did before I started ceramic craft

Maybe that is the reason

Would you make self-assessment of the fact

why Deep Cobalt has drawn attention among

active crafters

I would say people tend to be amazed by them

rather than loving them They look different than

other craftersrsquo Would it be the reason My work

looks like rather a tin can than ceramic pot The

basic principle is being persistent attempting to

make new design I kept in mind that the cups

are drinking tool The cup is the outcome of the

design that I approached from this perspective

Which design do you think is lsquothe best of the

01 04 He flattens slab of clay and builds the shape by

rolling them like a sheet of paper

02 He recently added leather on his heat wire handle

03 Mug cups and strainer that reveals natural

characteristics of clay called lsquoBlack Mountainrsquo

best craft or deignrsquo Freitag bags Not only the

design is excellent but also the concept behind

deserves the status It recycles used seat belt

bicycle tube truck taps etc It is quite interesting

to know people still love them even though each

bag looks different from each other because it is

recycling used materials

Including artist Hyun Sanghwa what do you

think the young artists lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

If you have idea of a work you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

without hesitant

its function and characteristics of the material He

also does not hide changes that take place during

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Also I would like to work on Korean restaurant

that I would pour my whole energy and ability on

its furniture interior tableware etc

Ten years from now what kind of crafter or

designer you want to be considered

An artist who knows his material well

Who do you highly esteem among crafters or

designers

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

If one asks to pick what I like I will choose

maksabal (earthenware bowl) There have been

many on-going researches and examination

on maksabal However my fascination toward

maksabal has nothing to do with such frenzy It has

been already nearly 20 years that I have realized

that all I like always have the prefix lsquo mak~rsquo in them

makgooksoo makkimchi makgeolli hellip

Maksabal is simply made bowl without finesse of

detail It is said that a potter in olden days was

able to make 200-300 of maksabal per a day In

order to do that the potter did not spend long time

when raise a lump of clay for a bowl If you look

inside you can see traces of potterrsquos finger of who

hurriedMaksabal of Joseon Dynasty is an object

of extremely contemporary design in the sense

that plainly exposes making process I think it was

not at all difficult to make the surface smooth using

cloth or something if they wanted I believe that our

ancestors drew a line on which they think it is good

enough to leave it as it were The thoughts that led

to this conclusion came from the realization of the

same criteria not only in hanok residents temples

and Confucian architectures but also in music

fashion and food Such criteria should not be

considered as coincidence but deliberate decision

First you can find same principle of leaving the

materials as they were without artificial deformation

was applied to most cases of architecture no

matter they were wood or stone Same aesthetic

decision goes to locating architecture to sit without

interrupting the cartography of the land

Such aesthetics of less refined but light and

straightforwardness appears onto our traditional

music and garments For example a drummer

inserts interactive and improvisational rejoinders

here and there in the middle of chang (narrative

song) while beating time of the piece Or

traditional garment hanbok is composed of folds

and openings to create spontaneity In many

places within our culture one can easily find

that permeated is the aesthetics of lsquo mak~ and

improvisationrsquo

Though it is small maksabal is an excellent

example that connotes so many I believe this

came from the fact that our ancestors had this

attitude higher taste and perspective in terms of

aesthetics preferring to accept their surroundings

and to breathe together with them than pursue

completeness

While looking carefully at both edges and the gap

between them you press a ruler down You raise

a pencil and let your right hand past over the left

one then the pencil makes a path along the ruler

Once you pick up pencil and ruler you make clean

and neat lines I likedhellip that feeling It might sound

silly considering I am in fine art field However I

always loved tools that you can find in architecture

like ruler compass and drafting instruments One

day I had to chance to visit a studio of my teacher

in Accademia di Belle Arti Italy still having the

admiration toward such instruments I found him

drawing something resembles with architectural

plan From the sight I recalled the merits of ruler

and compass This may have contributed to my

greater affection toward rulers It has been a quite

sometime that I got this habit to find stationery

corner or bookstore looking for lsquorulerrsquo whenever I

travel It is amazing to find that this trivial object

can reflects the differences of each country The

rulers that I rummaged like that now become a

collection that reflects my taste We often use lsquorulerrsquo

as a metaphor Each personrsquos standard criterion

can be seen through eyes thought in head and

felt with heart Considering unit for measuring

length has provided us a reference point from value

judgment of the invisible criterion for beauty tenet

of money to levels of success the fact that lsquorulerrsquo

is deeply involved with our lives makes me amazed

and scared

Soban is an interesting object A table normally

functions to gather people around them However

soban small portable dining table is an item

that exhibits Korearsquos table custom first you have

to sit on the floor and this table is designed for

one person Though my first admiration toward

furniture design in college years went with Danish

design cornerstone of Scandinavianrsquos I was

fascinated Danish designrsquos timelessness enough

to go to study and the experience made deep

impact that can be compared to culture shock on

who I am now Ironic enough life there taught me

the value of lsquomy ownrsquo culture in which I was born

and raised This is the biggest knowledge I got

from studying abroad It is a shame that I have not

learned about Naju soban until I was 32 years old

when I met Kim Choonsik who is an intangible

cultural treasure of Korea for soban makingNaju

soban then appeared to be most outstanding even

for the eyes of young designer The legs of Naju

soban has round cylinder shape that narrows

down toward the bottom It stands vertically if you

look from the front and it looks slanted inside It

is designed like this in order to give more room

on the bottom After cutting out furrows from the

wood for blind that connects the legs and tabletop

is first soaked in water until it gets soft enough

to bend Making it with one piece of wood allows

the structure sturdier Same method is often used

in contemporary furniture making because it

avoids waste of material as well as distortion of its

tabletop This sobanrsquos lsquoreasonablersquo design must

have captivated young designerrsquos eye without

needing to hear further explanation WouldnrsquotNaju

soban deserve evaluation as universal design even

from the Westernized contemporary viewpoint

Only regret is that I have not realized it earlier

This pot design was the first creation after I

came back from Japan about 10 years ago Its

production is still continued because it has been

loved for its balance and safety not to mention the

high functionality Despite that the harder it gets

the more we try to design a pot When I started

teaching college students I took over plaster

casting class that most students hate (If you are

ceramic major you would understand) Casting

can be frustrating for students before they get

to learn to have fun However I introduced them

various artworks that requires plaster casting

and persuaded them that it is necessary to get

familiarize if they wan to make as such I used to

show them NHKrsquos video documentation of work

by Sakaeki Masatoshi who has been my teacher

Lee Kyungmin one of my students ended up

visiting Japan because of my class and learned

under him for one year There are two works here

I am introducing one is Sakaeki Masatoshirsquos pot

design entitled Handle Vessel Series and Lee

Kyungminrsquos coffee cup and saucer design Circus

Series One is by teacher and by the student tied

to me as common denominator

This black matte pot was designed in 1995 but it

was only 2004 when it finally got mass-produced

I wonder if it owed to the unique shape of the

handle Comfortable contours and playful volume

and cobalt decoration etc theses recurring

characteristics in my teacherrsquos work provokes one

to feel that they must have at least one of them

This pot also has a handle that draws our attention

It has the shape of a thumb as if it presses its lid

Thus the handle does not touch the belly and it

does not get hot because it is hollowed The tip of

spout is designed not to waste even a drop The

lid that looks like a frogrsquos eye seems to represent

the completeness of his design he enjoyed While

it satisfies the function the shape is somewhat

strange The pot is sitting on my windowsill

since last Korea-Japan exchange exhibition 8-9

years ago Lee Kyungminrsquos coffee cup and a

saucer have cool and straight line that gives out

undecipherable tension It already has passed 5

years since he first visited this studio with the set

The cup with black glistening glaze fits precisely

in its depression Round contour inside of the

handle gives comfort It clearly shows his attention

to functionality in his design Is it why I even

heard pleasant news that he won a first place at

Westerwald Preis When I design kitchenware I

keep in mind that functionality is the essential It is

always the question when to stop I would like to

ask them if I am doing right

Sacred artifacts are expression of belief from a

community of church as well as criterion that

shows level of development of the church Sacred

artifacts including crosses are used in various

ways within Christianity Catholics in particular

holy images cross rosary vessel for holy water

icon etc are used to help spiritual exercise on

personal level and this makes one person to keep

quite large number of sacred artifacts Crosses

were once used to hang prisoners in ancient EastHowever after Jesus Christ sacrificed himself

on the cross for the redemption of human sins

on behalf of all humanity cross has become the

theological symbol for his lsquohardship and deathrsquo

lsquosacrifice and loversquo lsquoimmortality and salvationrsquo

The forms of cross vary more than you think For

me vertical line means the relation between the

God and me while horizontal line does relation

between me and people who live together the

same period of time As one of those who barely

manage day-to-day hardship by the force of life

cross becomes the energy source to survive the

present and the reason for another day I start

my day making an eye contact with it The silver

cross for holding made by Cho Sungho is a very

special one among the sacred artifacts that I have

We all are influenced by objects around us in daily

lives lsquoSincerityrsquo toward religion always conveys

the scent of artistic aura and the art that pursues

sincere beauty always allow us to experience

religious transcendence What enables my lifetoday is this belief that there always exists utmost

beauty wherever art crosses religion

What kind of work you have been working on

In college years I was interested in experimenting

various materials and approaches Feeling being

more curious about materials pursuing graduate

level education seemed natural to me as next

step There I was introduced environmental

issues and started making pertinent objects

First piece that I made was lunch box Though

pet bottle that is considered as disposable it is

recyclable So I made light weighted lunch box

with it Taking it as starting point I have been

making kitchenware and baskets that are closed

to our daily lives with my own methods

Where do you get your inspiration

Nothing particular Architectures factory goods

or various materials from media have been onesOften times things just came in to my mind while

making or using objects Open-fold fruit bowl

for example I kept thinking to make a bowl that

I can open and fold and the idea came when I

looked at the shape of flower and I developed

from it

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or crafters I do not hung up with the

idea of being unique Originality of an object is

not something that its maker can judge I just

want to make good things and try to fully express

what I think

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I want to be someone who enriches

the living of people or someone who deeply

concerned with authentic happiness

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers My advisor Professor

Koh Bohyung

What do you think young crafters and designers

including you should do for the development

of craft and design of the country If you are a

young crafter or designer I think it is important

have faith in yourself and act by it Artist shouldhave faith and be able to express his own voice

to the world

If you sum up your art and its characteristicsinto one sentence Tableware design that

combines practicality and estheticism

Tell us briefly about the technique you use and

the making process of your work I have mostly

worked on white porcelain tableware Majority of

them were made with wheel throwing technique

Slip casting is also used when I wanted more

unique design Sometime I use different glaze for

inside from out side As I am working more on

tableware I get the chance to use it for myself

putting my food in them and make corrections

on the design if needed

Silver finishing is used for some of the works Is

there special reason for that I went to a special

talk addressed by a Japanese artist when I was

in grad school He used silver foils on small

part of his work and that got interested me to try

some experiments using silver Silver gives you

feeling if it is alive because it gradually changes

its color as it gets oxidized So I have continued

using silver as finishing material since 2007

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Heejong Brandrdquo

lsquoContaining stories in the designrsquo might be it

When I design an item I think of wonderful

memories in the past or present to apply in it

You are running a shop And that is rare for

artists What good is in running your own shop

I have worked considering that fairs are

equivalent to exhibitions And I value the time

I communicate with audience at the field

However fairs are only stayed open up to 5days making the time with audience too short

I also have been thinking it costs a lot to be in

a fair and find it hectic packing and unpacking

freights Then I opened a shop at Sagimakgol

Icheon Gyeonggi Province It was located in

the middle of wholesale district where in which

number of young artists and retail customers

are growing My wife who majored ceramic art is

running the shop She is most helpful because

she understands my art more than anyone else

and she pays attention to the responses from the

customers

What is future plan for your art Things that

I would like to try are endless when you are

working on tableware As various as foods are I

would like to make all kind of tableware I can see

myself focusing on tableware for a while There is

one thing that I really want to try to do It is my

dream to go to a quiet place later and build a kiln

firing with logs for ceramics without glaze Firing

with logs and using ashes f or coloring ceramics

is really interesting

Is there an artist who influenced on your work I

should be careful but my teachers are not either

books or senior artists It is customers I try to

make things that my customers want If one

does not figure out what his customers want or

cannot read the trend good craft design cannot

be made If basic principle of craft is to make

something for daily use it must be right to make

what people want with my own taste

Please explain your work lsquothe Knots Bagrsquo

It is a second bag inspired by our forefathersrsquo

craft called gat Its string was the only means formen to accessorize I wanted to link the virtue

of the string to contemporary living with subtlety

and grace to come up with the second bag This

bag looks like a gat if you put it upside down

(It also reminds us of donut too so it would be

okay to call it lsquodonut bagrsquo Polyester is mostly

used to make these because if you use natural

fabric the signature pleats are gone

It seems that name of the brand lsquoBachirsquo holds

your design philosophy as a whole It is the

name of the brand and the name of my company

also Bachi refers to a person who devotes his

life to make only one thing The word can be

combined with name of the thing that bachi

make Letrsquos say someone is called gatbachi

it refers to someone who makes things with

gat(leather) and matchstick bachi means not

someone who sells matchstick but makes and

sells them They were creators literally I wanted

to succeed in the mind of theirs

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Contemporary application of tradition

Why do you favor knotting technique

If you make a mistake while applying lacquer

you can either apply one more layer or find

another way of correcting it However if you

make a mistake during knotting you cannot

ever get the result that you intended It is why

knotting is both difficult and attractive One of

the reasons that make knotting craftsmen so

great is they memorize all the techniques by

heart But it makes hard to disseminate I felt

bad this traditional knotting continued only to

be in the state of home decoration Through

lsquoapplicationrsquo processes I wanted such traditionbe penetrated in to the lives of ours I developed

ideas that make knots equipped with functions

instead being considered as additional element

old school ornament Its result is lsquothe knots bagrsquo

you see here

How do you envision your life as crafter

in ten years I hope I am a craft designer

acknowledged for my editions and I would like to

publish a monograph

Many attach expression of lsquofun furniturersquo on your

work If you sum up your art into one sentence

what would that be

Design that combines curiosity and imagination

Designer Kim Juilrsquos work can be described

as something literally crosses over craft and

design After the detailed design you add labor

element by hand donrsquot you

Thatrsquos right It is literally lsquocraft+designrsquo I consider

the basic way of thinking and story behind craft

and design are same They only have different

ways of expression My work also combines

industrial technique and fabrication process

of craft But I would not particularly want to

separate them either

Eco-friendliness has become the issue needsto be resolved in design and craft field Do you

have anything in your work that implements

such issue I am incorporating lsquocirculation

structurersquo in the principle of design If possible I

choose sturdy and recyclable material and eco-

friendly elements are always included in the

foundation of my design

Including Craft Trend Fair I have participated

in many other fairs related to craft and design

Salone Satellite that I have participated with the

students from Hanseo University left me with

deep impression among them It meant a lot

because we were officially invited through one

year of preparation We received remarks like we

are lsquobuilding forms and style through designrsquo

We took the theme lsquocrossing point of East and

West Fish hung on the ceiling using principle of

works that accentuated craftwork were most

How did you start metal craft What was the

motivation My father has been in jewelry craft

industry over 30 years I had chance to look at him

working and gradually got interested in this field

Looking closely at daily nicknacks drawing ideas

being curious about hands on processes and

enjoying to make them led me to the work today

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Hyunsung Brandrdquo

I would like to say that it is effectiveness in

function practicality simplicity and friendliness of

design

Is there an artist who influenced you And Why

Sculptor Brancusi influenced me a lot He got

rid of all the unnecessary details and his way of

condensing all the energies inside is quite inspiringIndustrial designer Dieter Rams as well as metal

crafter Koh Bohyung and Shim Hyunseok come

to my mind These two craftsmen taught me not

only through the their work but also through the

way of living and way of looking at things

Sikijang exhibition ltThe coffee

makers+gt (20141126~1220 Arumjigi

04 Bronze dripper

What is most important aspect in creating

works I purposely avoid make things in perfect

and stylish form Most responses that I get

are they look a bit clumsy I make an effort to

find shapes that are imperfect or clumsy form

purposely This is to provoke the viewers to

question to a certain extend themselves about

forms I feel happiest when the void I created

leads to the conversation with the viewers

What is the best lsquomasterpiecersquo in craft or

design that you ever encountered

Not long ago I was flabbergasted by Park

Honggursquos woodenware It has the shape that

does not have any unnecessary element It is

no doubt that he knows his material so well

What do you think young crafters anddesigners including you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

I think Korea society is quite chaotic now The

worse thing is that the entire burden from such

situation is loaded on to young generationrsquos

shoulders In the society where landing on a job

they can love and being happy is impossible

choosing craft as their job is even harder I

would like to say that we should think the fact

that we made such a difficult decision as it is

and it is worthy enough to think one should

continue what they have been doing

Please tell me about your work lsquoSoSo( 小昭 )rsquo

SoSo is a set of spoon chopstick and cutlery

rest using traditional techniques from mother-

of-pearl lacquer and gilding Pendant The idea

of Ah Ottrsquo came up while working on the spoon

rest

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Lacquer+blank All of my works is finished with

lacquer in the end

What kinds of processes are needed to produce

one work SoSo for example it takes 3-4 times

of lacquering on cut wood Sometime several

more times of lacquering and grinding are

needed after gluing mother-of-pearl or gold foil in

order to set it Lastly it is finished with polishing

What is the uniqueness of lsquoKang Heejung

Brandrsquo lsquoReservednessrsquo The style that is

traditional but not classical

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers who is active in the field

It is hard to pick just one since there are so

many great designers in Korea Among foreign

designers I love Enzo Mari who is representative

of Italian Modern design and Japanese designer

Nagaoka Genmei

What drives you to continue your work

Thought that there are people who want my

work(product)

Is there an item that you would like to challenge

to create in the future I would like a chance to

design a space full with my works

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I would like to continue making things

It does not have to be a lot but constantly While

showing my own color I would like to be a crafter

who makes up-to-dated objects that people trust

and want to have

Do you have other objects that inspire you

You would wonder who on earth made this brusque jar with concrete But it is a

edition numbers on each tile like a signature stamp ceramist Bae Sejin record

allows us to realize the how various the spectrum craft object can be

Though the method of numbering each

ceramic tiles in the elements of ceramic

object can sound lsquonot different than otherrsquo and

disadvantageous

Yes I heard that many times People even tell me

to put a stop to it However I would not make a

big effort to change the way of working or break

the habit If the time comes that I get bored or I

wonrsquot be able to do it with some reason I would

follow the natural course I too am curious how

my work is going to be ended The same as two

characters ltWaiting for Godotgt without knowing

who Godot is I just add the tiles I am doing it as

far as I can Wouldnrsquot it be okay if one or two do

something looks stupid

Work by Bae Sejin is more of a sculpture thanceramic Do you consider yourself you are on

the border between them

I do not particularly feel the need of categorize

such thing I am on the border of this side end

and that side Next project that I am planning

will be more ambiguous in terms of the borders

But one thing is sure that I will continue to keep

01 04 Bae Sejinrsquos ltWaiting

for Godotgt

02 03 Bae Sejinrsquos sculptural

and flat object show wide

spectrum of craft

this position because I believe that craft is

something for a man devotes himself and make

it with all his heart

What issue interests you as an artist

First is adding functionality on sculptural object

(it means to make something useful in life)

Second is to reduce the size of the works For

that matter trying to make change in materials

rather than clay

Your experience with fairs abroad as

participants or attendee have influenced you

Biggest influence I get from such experience is

being motivated One thing that you constantly

have in your mind is lsquoif you are doing rightrsquo

When many people like your work in exhibitions

abroad and that leads to sales channel it can

be great motivation for your art

LEE ZEESOO

Lee Zeesoo has created lsquoFliessenrsquo series since six years ago Fliessen is a

German word for lsquoflowrsquo While it refers to flowing pattern that two or more

colors are mixed but it also denotes psychological state in which one is

lsquoimmersed into something enough to forget time flowsrsquo Her traditional

porcelain is contemporary expression of her passion energy and juissance that

spring up when she immerses into her work

What kind of work have you created

I have created objects for a long time But I

started to add functionality in my works that is

entitled lsquoArt Deco Warersquo Cups dishes bowls

etc I am communicating with people through

art porcelain goods that emphasizes both

aestheticity and functionality

Which material do you prefer to use And Why

I normally use white clay White clay is most

effective and appropriate material that can bring

out the essential beauty of Korean traditional craft

The material also allows me to accentuate stylistic

finishing at the same time There I add colored

clay and liquid gold to create various flows which

is the concept in the lsquoFliessenrsquo series

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or potters As I continue the concept

of lsquoFliessenrsquo through the brand called lsquoceramic

by leezeesoorsquo I was able to present variety of

patterns every year Harmony of aestheticity and

visualizing both contemporary and traditional

sensibility with white clay may be counted as the

characteristics of my work

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers I admire Lee Youngjae

who lives in Germany When I was having hard

time to choose which school I should go in

Germany to study pottery I ran into him on a

street Then he advised me to go Giebichenstein

late Lee Ungno inspire me

Besides this do you have any other objects

that inspire you I am particularly impressed by

paintings depicting group of people among the

architecture etc there are too many to pick just

one

It is no doubt that his cups will be appreciated by gentlemen rather than by

the hands of usual ladies His cups are intriguing though different from usual

designs he does not either throw on the wheel or cast but make them with

slab of clay so they look like he rolled cardboards He always goes beyond

conventional methods including experimenting with combination of clay and

metal and polishing surface of ceramic instead of glazing This couldnrsquot help

to make you wonder lsquowhat is the nextrsquo

Your brand name lsquoDeep Cobaltrsquo sounds unique

What is the meaning behind it

I ran in to the phrase while reading a novel when

I was young I liked its abstract association with

lsquothe color of a deep oceanrsquo

You chose handbuilding technique with slab of

clay instead of wheel throwing or casting What

are the merits and demerits

Wheel throwing and casting technique require

postproduction process even after building

shapes and drying the clay On one hand

handbuilding method allows me to finish the

making process at the building shapes stage

without additional process It also allows me to

create the shape my porcelains a fun look of

paper On the other hand it has low success

rate and takes longer time because it requires

polishing process after second firing

Another unusual fact of the Deep Cobalt is that

it uses clay called Black Mountain instead of

normal porcelain clay What is the reason for it

First of all it is because of the color of the clay I

learned about it while I was looking for clay that

has rougher texture and color There are clays

with rough texture but no such color It fitted very

well for my work that uses minimum amount of

glaze and emphasizing natural characteristics of

clay Using heat wire (in order not to be rusted

while fired on 1200 degree) or gluing leather is

the influence from the experience of ceramic

object work I did before I started ceramic craft

Maybe that is the reason

Would you make self-assessment of the fact

why Deep Cobalt has drawn attention among

active crafters

I would say people tend to be amazed by them

rather than loving them They look different than

other craftersrsquo Would it be the reason My work

looks like rather a tin can than ceramic pot The

basic principle is being persistent attempting to

make new design I kept in mind that the cups

are drinking tool The cup is the outcome of the

design that I approached from this perspective

Which design do you think is lsquothe best of the

01 04 He flattens slab of clay and builds the shape by

rolling them like a sheet of paper

02 He recently added leather on his heat wire handle

03 Mug cups and strainer that reveals natural

characteristics of clay called lsquoBlack Mountainrsquo

best craft or deignrsquo Freitag bags Not only the

design is excellent but also the concept behind

deserves the status It recycles used seat belt

bicycle tube truck taps etc It is quite interesting

to know people still love them even though each

bag looks different from each other because it is

recycling used materials

Including artist Hyun Sanghwa what do you

think the young artists lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

If you have idea of a work you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

without hesitant

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Also I would like to work on Korean restaurant

that I would pour my whole energy and ability on

its furniture interior tableware etc

Ten years from now what kind of crafter or

designer you want to be considered

An artist who knows his material well

Who do you highly esteem among crafters or

designers

furniture design and the architect Ando Tadao

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

If one asks to pick what I like I will choose

maksabal (earthenware bowl) There have been

many on-going researches and examination

on maksabal However my fascination toward

maksabal has nothing to do with such frenzy It has

been already nearly 20 years that I have realized

that all I like always have the prefix lsquo mak~rsquo in them

makgooksoo makkimchi makgeolli hellip

Maksabal is simply made bowl without finesse of

detail It is said that a potter in olden days was

able to make 200-300 of maksabal per a day In

order to do that the potter did not spend long time

when raise a lump of clay for a bowl If you look

inside you can see traces of potterrsquos finger of who

hurriedMaksabal of Joseon Dynasty is an object

of extremely contemporary design in the sense

that plainly exposes making process I think it was

not at all difficult to make the surface smooth using

cloth or something if they wanted I believe that our

ancestors drew a line on which they think it is good

enough to leave it as it were The thoughts that led

to this conclusion came from the realization of the

same criteria not only in hanok residents temples

and Confucian architectures but also in music

fashion and food Such criteria should not be

considered as coincidence but deliberate decision

First you can find same principle of leaving the

materials as they were without artificial deformation

was applied to most cases of architecture no

matter they were wood or stone Same aesthetic

decision goes to locating architecture to sit without

interrupting the cartography of the land

Such aesthetics of less refined but light and

straightforwardness appears onto our traditional

music and garments For example a drummer

inserts interactive and improvisational rejoinders

here and there in the middle of chang (narrative

song) while beating time of the piece Or

traditional garment hanbok is composed of folds

and openings to create spontaneity In many

places within our culture one can easily find

that permeated is the aesthetics of lsquo mak~ and

improvisationrsquo

Though it is small maksabal is an excellent

example that connotes so many I believe this

came from the fact that our ancestors had this

attitude higher taste and perspective in terms of

aesthetics preferring to accept their surroundings

and to breathe together with them than pursue

completeness

While looking carefully at both edges and the gap

between them you press a ruler down You raise

a pencil and let your right hand past over the left

one then the pencil makes a path along the ruler

Once you pick up pencil and ruler you make clean

and neat lines I likedhellip that feeling It might sound

silly considering I am in fine art field However I

always loved tools that you can find in architecture

like ruler compass and drafting instruments One

day I had to chance to visit a studio of my teacher

in Accademia di Belle Arti Italy still having the

admiration toward such instruments I found him

drawing something resembles with architectural

plan From the sight I recalled the merits of ruler

and compass This may have contributed to my

greater affection toward rulers It has been a quite

sometime that I got this habit to find stationery

corner or bookstore looking for lsquorulerrsquo whenever I

travel It is amazing to find that this trivial object

can reflects the differences of each country The

rulers that I rummaged like that now become a

collection that reflects my taste We often use lsquorulerrsquo

as a metaphor Each personrsquos standard criterion

can be seen through eyes thought in head and

felt with heart Considering unit for measuring

length has provided us a reference point from value

judgment of the invisible criterion for beauty tenet

of money to levels of success the fact that lsquorulerrsquo

is deeply involved with our lives makes me amazed

and scared

Soban is an interesting object A table normally

functions to gather people around them However

soban small portable dining table is an item

that exhibits Korearsquos table custom first you have

to sit on the floor and this table is designed for

one person Though my first admiration toward

furniture design in college years went with Danish

design cornerstone of Scandinavianrsquos I was

fascinated Danish designrsquos timelessness enough

to go to study and the experience made deep

impact that can be compared to culture shock on

who I am now Ironic enough life there taught me

the value of lsquomy ownrsquo culture in which I was born

and raised This is the biggest knowledge I got

from studying abroad It is a shame that I have not

learned about Naju soban until I was 32 years old

when I met Kim Choonsik who is an intangible

cultural treasure of Korea for soban makingNaju

soban then appeared to be most outstanding even

for the eyes of young designer The legs of Naju

soban has round cylinder shape that narrows

down toward the bottom It stands vertically if you

look from the front and it looks slanted inside It

is designed like this in order to give more room

on the bottom After cutting out furrows from the

wood for blind that connects the legs and tabletop

is first soaked in water until it gets soft enough

to bend Making it with one piece of wood allows

the structure sturdier Same method is often used

in contemporary furniture making because it

avoids waste of material as well as distortion of its

tabletop This sobanrsquos lsquoreasonablersquo design must

have captivated young designerrsquos eye without

needing to hear further explanation WouldnrsquotNaju

soban deserve evaluation as universal design even

from the Westernized contemporary viewpoint

Only regret is that I have not realized it earlier

This pot design was the first creation after I

came back from Japan about 10 years ago Its

production is still continued because it has been

loved for its balance and safety not to mention the

high functionality Despite that the harder it gets

the more we try to design a pot When I started

teaching college students I took over plaster

casting class that most students hate (If you are

ceramic major you would understand) Casting

can be frustrating for students before they get

to learn to have fun However I introduced them

various artworks that requires plaster casting

and persuaded them that it is necessary to get

familiarize if they wan to make as such I used to

show them NHKrsquos video documentation of work

by Sakaeki Masatoshi who has been my teacher

Lee Kyungmin one of my students ended up

visiting Japan because of my class and learned

under him for one year There are two works here

I am introducing one is Sakaeki Masatoshirsquos pot

design entitled Handle Vessel Series and Lee

Kyungminrsquos coffee cup and saucer design Circus

Series One is by teacher and by the student tied

to me as common denominator

This black matte pot was designed in 1995 but it

was only 2004 when it finally got mass-produced

I wonder if it owed to the unique shape of the

handle Comfortable contours and playful volume

and cobalt decoration etc theses recurring

characteristics in my teacherrsquos work provokes one

to feel that they must have at least one of them

This pot also has a handle that draws our attention

It has the shape of a thumb as if it presses its lid

Thus the handle does not touch the belly and it

does not get hot because it is hollowed The tip of

spout is designed not to waste even a drop The

lid that looks like a frogrsquos eye seems to represent

the completeness of his design he enjoyed While

it satisfies the function the shape is somewhat

strange The pot is sitting on my windowsill

since last Korea-Japan exchange exhibition 8-9

years ago Lee Kyungminrsquos coffee cup and a

saucer have cool and straight line that gives out

undecipherable tension It already has passed 5

years since he first visited this studio with the set

The cup with black glistening glaze fits precisely

in its depression Round contour inside of the

handle gives comfort It clearly shows his attention

to functionality in his design Is it why I even

heard pleasant news that he won a first place at

Westerwald Preis When I design kitchenware I

keep in mind that functionality is the essential It is

always the question when to stop I would like to

ask them if I am doing right

Sacred artifacts are expression of belief from a

community of church as well as criterion that

shows level of development of the church Sacred

artifacts including crosses are used in various

ways within Christianity Catholics in particular

holy images cross rosary vessel for holy water

icon etc are used to help spiritual exercise on

personal level and this makes one person to keep

quite large number of sacred artifacts Crosses

were once used to hang prisoners in ancient EastHowever after Jesus Christ sacrificed himself

on the cross for the redemption of human sins

on behalf of all humanity cross has become the

theological symbol for his lsquohardship and deathrsquo

lsquosacrifice and loversquo lsquoimmortality and salvationrsquo

The forms of cross vary more than you think For

me vertical line means the relation between the

God and me while horizontal line does relation

between me and people who live together the

same period of time As one of those who barely

manage day-to-day hardship by the force of life

cross becomes the energy source to survive the

present and the reason for another day I start

my day making an eye contact with it The silver

cross for holding made by Cho Sungho is a very

special one among the sacred artifacts that I have

We all are influenced by objects around us in daily

lives lsquoSincerityrsquo toward religion always conveys

the scent of artistic aura and the art that pursues

sincere beauty always allow us to experience

religious transcendence What enables my lifetoday is this belief that there always exists utmost

beauty wherever art crosses religion

What kind of work you have been working on

In college years I was interested in experimenting

various materials and approaches Feeling being

more curious about materials pursuing graduate

level education seemed natural to me as next

step There I was introduced environmental

issues and started making pertinent objects

First piece that I made was lunch box Though

pet bottle that is considered as disposable it is

recyclable So I made light weighted lunch box

with it Taking it as starting point I have been

making kitchenware and baskets that are closed

to our daily lives with my own methods

Where do you get your inspiration

Nothing particular Architectures factory goods

or various materials from media have been onesOften times things just came in to my mind while

making or using objects Open-fold fruit bowl

for example I kept thinking to make a bowl that

I can open and fold and the idea came when I

looked at the shape of flower and I developed

from it

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or crafters I do not hung up with the

idea of being unique Originality of an object is

not something that its maker can judge I just

want to make good things and try to fully express

what I think

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I want to be someone who enriches

the living of people or someone who deeply

concerned with authentic happiness

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers My advisor Professor

Koh Bohyung

What do you think young crafters and designers

including you should do for the development

of craft and design of the country If you are a

young crafter or designer I think it is important

have faith in yourself and act by it Artist shouldhave faith and be able to express his own voice

to the world

Where the readers can purchase your work You

If you open the silver box it surprises you with the bright light radiated from

white porcelain Kim Heejongrsquos work with contrasting finishes in and outside

of white porcelain tableware makes you curious about the art of the artist

His persistency to study various ceramic techniques and communicate with

his audience while try not to ignore practicality at the same time paid off by

If you sum up your art and its characteristicsinto one sentence Tableware design that

combines practicality and estheticism

Tell us briefly about the technique you use and

the making process of your work I have mostly

worked on white porcelain tableware Majority of

them were made with wheel throwing technique

Slip casting is also used when I wanted more

unique design Sometime I use different glaze for

inside from out side As I am working more on

tableware I get the chance to use it for myself

putting my food in them and make corrections

on the design if needed

Silver finishing is used for some of the works Is

there special reason for that I went to a special

talk addressed by a Japanese artist when I was

in grad school He used silver foils on small

part of his work and that got interested me to try

some experiments using silver Silver gives you

feeling if it is alive because it gradually changes

its color as it gets oxidized So I have continued

using silver as finishing material since 2007

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Heejong Brandrdquo

lsquoContaining stories in the designrsquo might be it

When I design an item I think of wonderful

memories in the past or present to apply in it

You are running a shop And that is rare for

artists What good is in running your own shop

I have worked considering that fairs are

equivalent to exhibitions And I value the time

I communicate with audience at the field

However fairs are only stayed open up to 5days making the time with audience too short

I also have been thinking it costs a lot to be in

a fair and find it hectic packing and unpacking

freights Then I opened a shop at Sagimakgol

Icheon Gyeonggi Province It was located in

the middle of wholesale district where in which

number of young artists and retail customers

are growing My wife who majored ceramic art is

running the shop She is most helpful because

she understands my art more than anyone else

and she pays attention to the responses from the

customers

What is future plan for your art Things that

I would like to try are endless when you are

working on tableware As various as foods are I

would like to make all kind of tableware I can see

myself focusing on tableware for a while There is

one thing that I really want to try to do It is my

dream to go to a quiet place later and build a kiln

firing with logs for ceramics without glaze Firing

with logs and using ashes f or coloring ceramics

is really interesting

Is there an artist who influenced on your work I

should be careful but my teachers are not either

books or senior artists It is customers I try to

make things that my customers want If one

does not figure out what his customers want or

cannot read the trend good craft design cannot

be made If basic principle of craft is to make

something for daily use it must be right to make

what people want with my own taste

lowest class Moon Yoojin decided to succeed such spirit even considering it as

calling and fortune She has faith as a person who started life as crafter to do

knotting and lacquer after leaving her life as a designer which she spent half of

her life She believes that if one accumulates one more knot and one more layer

of lacquer one lsquogood thingrsquo can come out of it the same as Jo Hoonhyun the

Please explain your work lsquothe Knots Bagrsquo

It is a second bag inspired by our forefathersrsquo

craft called gat Its string was the only means formen to accessorize I wanted to link the virtue

of the string to contemporary living with subtlety

and grace to come up with the second bag This

bag looks like a gat if you put it upside down

(It also reminds us of donut too so it would be

okay to call it lsquodonut bagrsquo Polyester is mostly

used to make these because if you use natural

fabric the signature pleats are gone

It seems that name of the brand lsquoBachirsquo holds

your design philosophy as a whole It is the

name of the brand and the name of my company

also Bachi refers to a person who devotes his

life to make only one thing The word can be

combined with name of the thing that bachi

make Letrsquos say someone is called gatbachi

it refers to someone who makes things with

gat(leather) and matchstick bachi means not

someone who sells matchstick but makes and

sells them They were creators literally I wanted

to succeed in the mind of theirs

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Contemporary application of tradition

Why do you favor knotting technique

If you make a mistake while applying lacquer

you can either apply one more layer or find

another way of correcting it However if you

make a mistake during knotting you cannot

ever get the result that you intended It is why

knotting is both difficult and attractive One of

the reasons that make knotting craftsmen so

great is they memorize all the techniques by

heart But it makes hard to disseminate I felt

bad this traditional knotting continued only to

be in the state of home decoration Through

lsquoapplicationrsquo processes I wanted such traditionbe penetrated in to the lives of ours I developed

ideas that make knots equipped with functions

instead being considered as additional element

old school ornament Its result is lsquothe knots bagrsquo

you see here

How do you envision your life as crafter

in ten years I hope I am a craft designer

acknowledged for my editions and I would like to

publish a monograph

Many attach expression of lsquofun furniturersquo on your

work If you sum up your art into one sentence

what would that be

Design that combines curiosity and imagination

Designer Kim Juilrsquos work can be described

as something literally crosses over craft and

design After the detailed design you add labor

element by hand donrsquot you

Thatrsquos right It is literally lsquocraft+designrsquo I consider

the basic way of thinking and story behind craft

and design are same They only have different

ways of expression My work also combines

industrial technique and fabrication process

of craft But I would not particularly want to

separate them either

Eco-friendliness has become the issue needsto be resolved in design and craft field Do you

have anything in your work that implements

such issue I am incorporating lsquocirculation

structurersquo in the principle of design If possible I

choose sturdy and recyclable material and eco-

friendly elements are always included in the

foundation of my design

Including Craft Trend Fair I have participated

in many other fairs related to craft and design

Salone Satellite that I have participated with the

students from Hanseo University left me with

deep impression among them It meant a lot

because we were officially invited through one

year of preparation We received remarks like we

are lsquobuilding forms and style through designrsquo

We took the theme lsquocrossing point of East and

West Fish hung on the ceiling using principle of

works that accentuated craftwork were most

How did you start metal craft What was the

motivation My father has been in jewelry craft

industry over 30 years I had chance to look at him

working and gradually got interested in this field

Looking closely at daily nicknacks drawing ideas

being curious about hands on processes and

enjoying to make them led me to the work today

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Hyunsung Brandrdquo

I would like to say that it is effectiveness in

function practicality simplicity and friendliness of

design

Is there an artist who influenced you And Why

Sculptor Brancusi influenced me a lot He got

rid of all the unnecessary details and his way of

condensing all the energies inside is quite inspiringIndustrial designer Dieter Rams as well as metal

crafter Koh Bohyung and Shim Hyunseok come

to my mind These two craftsmen taught me not

only through the their work but also through the

way of living and way of looking at things

Sikijang exhibition ltThe coffee

02 03 His studio view

04 Bronze dripper

What is most important aspect in creating

works I purposely avoid make things in perfect

and stylish form Most responses that I get

are they look a bit clumsy I make an effort to

find shapes that are imperfect or clumsy form

purposely This is to provoke the viewers to

question to a certain extend themselves about

forms I feel happiest when the void I created

leads to the conversation with the viewers

What is the best lsquomasterpiecersquo in craft or

design that you ever encountered

Not long ago I was flabbergasted by Park

Honggursquos woodenware It has the shape that

does not have any unnecessary element It is

no doubt that he knows his material so well

What do you think young crafters anddesigners including you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

I think Korea society is quite chaotic now The

worse thing is that the entire burden from such

situation is loaded on to young generationrsquos

shoulders In the society where landing on a job

they can love and being happy is impossible

choosing craft as their job is even harder I

would like to say that we should think the fact

that we made such a difficult decision as it is

and it is worthy enough to think one should

continue what they have been doing

SoSo is a set of spoon chopstick and cutlery

rest using traditional techniques from mother-

of-pearl lacquer and gilding Pendant The idea

of Ah Ottrsquo came up while working on the spoon

rest

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Lacquer+blank All of my works is finished with

lacquer in the end

What kinds of processes are needed to produce

one work SoSo for example it takes 3-4 times

of lacquering on cut wood Sometime several

more times of lacquering and grinding are

needed after gluing mother-of-pearl or gold foil in

order to set it Lastly it is finished with polishing

What is the uniqueness of lsquoKang Heejung

Brandrsquo lsquoReservednessrsquo The style that is

traditional but not classical

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers who is active in the field

It is hard to pick just one since there are so

many great designers in Korea Among foreign

designers I love Enzo Mari who is representative

of Italian Modern design and Japanese designer

Nagaoka Genmei

What drives you to continue your work

Thought that there are people who want my

work(product)

Is there an item that you would like to challenge

to create in the future I would like a chance to

design a space full with my works

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I would like to continue making things

It does not have to be a lot but constantly While

showing my own color I would like to be a crafter

who makes up-to-dated objects that people trust

follow the natural course I too am curious how

my work is going to be ended The same as two

characters ltWaiting for Godotgt without knowing

who Godot is I just add the tiles I am doing it as

far as I can Wouldnrsquot it be okay if one or two do

something looks stupid

Work by Bae Sejin is more of a sculpture thanceramic Do you consider yourself you are on

the border between them

I do not particularly feel the need of categorize

such thing I am on the border of this side end

and that side Next project that I am planning

will be more ambiguous in terms of the borders

But one thing is sure that I will continue to keep

01 04 Bae Sejinrsquos ltWaiting

for Godotgt

02 03 Bae Sejinrsquos sculptural

and flat object show wide

spectrum of craft

this position because I believe that craft is

something for a man devotes himself and make

it with all his heart

What issue interests you as an artist

First is adding functionality on sculptural object

(it means to make something useful in life)

Second is to reduce the size of the works For

that matter trying to make change in materials

rather than clay

Your experience with fairs abroad as

participants or attendee have influenced you

Biggest influence I get from such experience is

being motivated One thing that you constantly

have in your mind is lsquoif you are doing rightrsquo

When many people like your work in exhibitions

abroad and that leads to sales channel it can

be great motivation for your art

LEE ZEESOO

Lee Zeesoo has created lsquoFliessenrsquo series since six years ago Fliessen is a

German word for lsquoflowrsquo While it refers to flowing pattern that two or more

colors are mixed but it also denotes psychological state in which one is

lsquoimmersed into something enough to forget time flowsrsquo Her traditional

porcelain is contemporary expression of her passion energy and juissance that

spring up when she immerses into her work

What kind of work have you created

I have created objects for a long time But I

started to add functionality in my works that is

entitled lsquoArt Deco Warersquo Cups dishes bowls

etc I am communicating with people through

art porcelain goods that emphasizes both

aestheticity and functionality

Which material do you prefer to use And Why

I normally use white clay White clay is most

effective and appropriate material that can bring

out the essential beauty of Korean traditional craft

The material also allows me to accentuate stylistic

finishing at the same time There I add colored

clay and liquid gold to create various flows which

is the concept in the lsquoFliessenrsquo series

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or potters As I continue the concept

of lsquoFliessenrsquo through the brand called lsquoceramic

by leezeesoorsquo I was able to present variety of

patterns every year Harmony of aestheticity and

visualizing both contemporary and traditional

sensibility with white clay may be counted as the

characteristics of my work

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers I admire Lee Youngjae

who lives in Germany When I was having hard

time to choose which school I should go in

Germany to study pottery I ran into him on a

street Then he advised me to go Giebichenstein

01 Gold and blue porcelain one of the lsquoFliessenrsquo series Tall cup

which is called lsquoSolid and Voidrsquo is presented as 2013 KCDF lsquoCraft

Gobang is where you can purchase Lee Zeesoorsquos work

Kunsthochschule Halle Also the works by the

late Lee Ungno inspire me

Besides this do you have any other objects

that inspire you I am particularly impressed by

paintings depicting group of people among the

late Lee Ungnorsquos oeuvre Nature bird sounds

architecture etc there are too many to pick just

one

It is no doubt that his cups will be appreciated by gentlemen rather than by

the hands of usual ladies His cups are intriguing though different from usual

designs he does not either throw on the wheel or cast but make them with

slab of clay so they look like he rolled cardboards He always goes beyond

conventional methods including experimenting with combination of clay and

metal and polishing surface of ceramic instead of glazing This couldnrsquot help

to make you wonder lsquowhat is the nextrsquo

Your brand name lsquoDeep Cobaltrsquo sounds unique

What is the meaning behind it

I ran in to the phrase while reading a novel when

I was young I liked its abstract association with

lsquothe color of a deep oceanrsquo

You chose handbuilding technique with slab of

clay instead of wheel throwing or casting What

are the merits and demerits

Wheel throwing and casting technique require

postproduction process even after building

shapes and drying the clay On one hand

handbuilding method allows me to finish the

making process at the building shapes stage

without additional process It also allows me to

create the shape my porcelains a fun look of

paper On the other hand it has low success

rate and takes longer time because it requires

polishing process after second firing

Another unusual fact of the Deep Cobalt is that

it uses clay called Black Mountain instead of

normal porcelain clay What is the reason for it

First of all it is because of the color of the clay I

learned about it while I was looking for clay that

has rougher texture and color There are clays

with rough texture but no such color It fitted very

well for my work that uses minimum amount of

glaze and emphasizing natural characteristics of

clay Using heat wire (in order not to be rusted

while fired on 1200 degree) or gluing leather is

the influence from the experience of ceramic

object work I did before I started ceramic craft

Maybe that is the reason

Would you make self-assessment of the fact

why Deep Cobalt has drawn attention among

active crafters

I would say people tend to be amazed by them

rather than loving them They look different than

other craftersrsquo Would it be the reason My work

looks like rather a tin can than ceramic pot The

basic principle is being persistent attempting to

make new design I kept in mind that the cups

are drinking tool The cup is the outcome of the

design that I approached from this perspective

Which design do you think is lsquothe best of the

01 04 He flattens slab of clay and builds the shape by

rolling them like a sheet of paper

02 He recently added leather on his heat wire handle

03 Mug cups and strainer that reveals natural

characteristics of clay called lsquoBlack Mountainrsquo

best craft or deignrsquo Freitag bags Not only the

design is excellent but also the concept behind

deserves the status It recycles used seat belt

bicycle tube truck taps etc It is quite interesting

to know people still love them even though each

bag looks different from each other because it is

recycling used materials

Including artist Hyun Sanghwa what do you

think the young artists lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

If you have idea of a work you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

without hesitant

Cho Byungju creates furniture with emphasize on

its function and characteristics of the material He

also does not hide changes that take place during

manufacturing process because his motto is all should

be able to understand and appreciate designer

furniture by its simplicity and straightforwardness

notion of that they are difficult and complex

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Also I would like to work on Korean restaurant

that I would pour my whole energy and ability on

its furniture interior tableware etc

Ten years from now what kind of crafter or

designer you want to be considered

An artist who knows his material well

Who do you highly esteem among crafters or

designers

furniture design and the architect Ando Tadao

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

While looking carefully at both edges and the gap

between them you press a ruler down You raise

a pencil and let your right hand past over the left

one then the pencil makes a path along the ruler

Once you pick up pencil and ruler you make clean

and neat lines I likedhellip that feeling It might sound

silly considering I am in fine art field However I

always loved tools that you can find in architecture

like ruler compass and drafting instruments One

day I had to chance to visit a studio of my teacher

in Accademia di Belle Arti Italy still having the

admiration toward such instruments I found him

drawing something resembles with architectural

plan From the sight I recalled the merits of ruler

and compass This may have contributed to my

greater affection toward rulers It has been a quite

sometime that I got this habit to find stationery

corner or bookstore looking for lsquorulerrsquo whenever I

travel It is amazing to find that this trivial object

can reflects the differences of each country The

rulers that I rummaged like that now become a

collection that reflects my taste We often use lsquorulerrsquo

as a metaphor Each personrsquos standard criterion

can be seen through eyes thought in head and

felt with heart Considering unit for measuring

length has provided us a reference point from value

judgment of the invisible criterion for beauty tenet

of money to levels of success the fact that lsquorulerrsquo

is deeply involved with our lives makes me amazed

and scared

Soban is an interesting object A table normally

functions to gather people around them However

soban small portable dining table is an item

that exhibits Korearsquos table custom first you have

to sit on the floor and this table is designed for

one person Though my first admiration toward

furniture design in college years went with Danish

design cornerstone of Scandinavianrsquos I was

fascinated Danish designrsquos timelessness enough

to go to study and the experience made deep

impact that can be compared to culture shock on

who I am now Ironic enough life there taught me

the value of lsquomy ownrsquo culture in which I was born

and raised This is the biggest knowledge I got

from studying abroad It is a shame that I have not

learned about Naju soban until I was 32 years old

when I met Kim Choonsik who is an intangible

cultural treasure of Korea for soban makingNaju

soban then appeared to be most outstanding even

for the eyes of young designer The legs of Naju

soban has round cylinder shape that narrows

down toward the bottom It stands vertically if you

look from the front and it looks slanted inside It

is designed like this in order to give more room

on the bottom After cutting out furrows from the

wood for blind that connects the legs and tabletop

is first soaked in water until it gets soft enough

to bend Making it with one piece of wood allows

the structure sturdier Same method is often used

in contemporary furniture making because it

avoids waste of material as well as distortion of its

tabletop This sobanrsquos lsquoreasonablersquo design must

have captivated young designerrsquos eye without

needing to hear further explanation WouldnrsquotNaju

soban deserve evaluation as universal design even

from the Westernized contemporary viewpoint

Only regret is that I have not realized it earlier

This pot design was the first creation after I

came back from Japan about 10 years ago Its

production is still continued because it has been

loved for its balance and safety not to mention the

high functionality Despite that the harder it gets

the more we try to design a pot When I started

teaching college students I took over plaster

casting class that most students hate (If you are

ceramic major you would understand) Casting

can be frustrating for students before they get

to learn to have fun However I introduced them

various artworks that requires plaster casting

and persuaded them that it is necessary to get

familiarize if they wan to make as such I used to

show them NHKrsquos video documentation of work

by Sakaeki Masatoshi who has been my teacher

Lee Kyungmin one of my students ended up

visiting Japan because of my class and learned

under him for one year There are two works here

I am introducing one is Sakaeki Masatoshirsquos pot

design entitled Handle Vessel Series and Lee

Kyungminrsquos coffee cup and saucer design Circus

Series One is by teacher and by the student tied

to me as common denominator

This black matte pot was designed in 1995 but it

was only 2004 when it finally got mass-produced

I wonder if it owed to the unique shape of the

handle Comfortable contours and playful volume

and cobalt decoration etc theses recurring

characteristics in my teacherrsquos work provokes one

to feel that they must have at least one of them

This pot also has a handle that draws our attention

It has the shape of a thumb as if it presses its lid

Thus the handle does not touch the belly and it

does not get hot because it is hollowed The tip of

spout is designed not to waste even a drop The

lid that looks like a frogrsquos eye seems to represent

the completeness of his design he enjoyed While

it satisfies the function the shape is somewhat

strange The pot is sitting on my windowsill

since last Korea-Japan exchange exhibition 8-9

years ago Lee Kyungminrsquos coffee cup and a

saucer have cool and straight line that gives out

undecipherable tension It already has passed 5

years since he first visited this studio with the set

The cup with black glistening glaze fits precisely

in its depression Round contour inside of the

handle gives comfort It clearly shows his attention

to functionality in his design Is it why I even

heard pleasant news that he won a first place at

Westerwald Preis When I design kitchenware I

keep in mind that functionality is the essential It is

always the question when to stop I would like to

ask them if I am doing right

Sacred artifacts are expression of belief from a

community of church as well as criterion that

shows level of development of the church Sacred

artifacts including crosses are used in various

ways within Christianity Catholics in particular

holy images cross rosary vessel for holy water

icon etc are used to help spiritual exercise on

personal level and this makes one person to keep

quite large number of sacred artifacts Crosses

were once used to hang prisoners in ancient EastHowever after Jesus Christ sacrificed himself

on the cross for the redemption of human sins

on behalf of all humanity cross has become the

theological symbol for his lsquohardship and deathrsquo

lsquosacrifice and loversquo lsquoimmortality and salvationrsquo

The forms of cross vary more than you think For

me vertical line means the relation between the

God and me while horizontal line does relation

between me and people who live together the

same period of time As one of those who barely

manage day-to-day hardship by the force of life

cross becomes the energy source to survive the

present and the reason for another day I start

my day making an eye contact with it The silver

cross for holding made by Cho Sungho is a very

special one among the sacred artifacts that I have

We all are influenced by objects around us in daily

lives lsquoSincerityrsquo toward religion always conveys

the scent of artistic aura and the art that pursues

sincere beauty always allow us to experience

religious transcendence What enables my lifetoday is this belief that there always exists utmost

beauty wherever art crosses religion

What kind of work you have been working on

In college years I was interested in experimenting

various materials and approaches Feeling being

more curious about materials pursuing graduate

level education seemed natural to me as next

step There I was introduced environmental

issues and started making pertinent objects

First piece that I made was lunch box Though

pet bottle that is considered as disposable it is

recyclable So I made light weighted lunch box

with it Taking it as starting point I have been

making kitchenware and baskets that are closed

to our daily lives with my own methods

Where do you get your inspiration

Nothing particular Architectures factory goods

or various materials from media have been onesOften times things just came in to my mind while

making or using objects Open-fold fruit bowl

for example I kept thinking to make a bowl that

I can open and fold and the idea came when I

looked at the shape of flower and I developed

from it

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or crafters I do not hung up with the

idea of being unique Originality of an object is

not something that its maker can judge I just

want to make good things and try to fully express

what I think

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I want to be someone who enriches

the living of people or someone who deeply

concerned with authentic happiness

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers My advisor Professor

Koh Bohyung

What do you think young crafters and designers

including you should do for the development

of craft and design of the country If you are a

young crafter or designer I think it is important

have faith in yourself and act by it Artist shouldhave faith and be able to express his own voice

to the world

Where the readers can purchase your work You

might want to visit Jung Soyoungrsquos Sikijang in

If you open the silver box it surprises you with the bright light radiated from

white porcelain Kim Heejongrsquos work with contrasting finishes in and outside

of white porcelain tableware makes you curious about the art of the artist

His persistency to study various ceramic techniques and communicate with

his audience while try not to ignore practicality at the same time paid off by

If you sum up your art and its characteristicsinto one sentence Tableware design that

combines practicality and estheticism

Tell us briefly about the technique you use and

the making process of your work I have mostly

worked on white porcelain tableware Majority of

them were made with wheel throwing technique

Slip casting is also used when I wanted more

unique design Sometime I use different glaze for

inside from out side As I am working more on

tableware I get the chance to use it for myself

putting my food in them and make corrections

on the design if needed

Silver finishing is used for some of the works Is

there special reason for that I went to a special

talk addressed by a Japanese artist when I was

in grad school He used silver foils on small

part of his work and that got interested me to try

some experiments using silver Silver gives you

feeling if it is alive because it gradually changes

its color as it gets oxidized So I have continued

using silver as finishing material since 2007

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Heejong Brandrdquo

lsquoContaining stories in the designrsquo might be it

When I design an item I think of wonderful

memories in the past or present to apply in it

You are running a shop And that is rare for

artists What good is in running your own shop

I have worked considering that fairs are

equivalent to exhibitions And I value the time

I communicate with audience at the field

However fairs are only stayed open up to 5days making the time with audience too short

I also have been thinking it costs a lot to be in

a fair and find it hectic packing and unpacking

freights Then I opened a shop at Sagimakgol

Icheon Gyeonggi Province It was located in

the middle of wholesale district where in which

number of young artists and retail customers

are growing My wife who majored ceramic art is

running the shop She is most helpful because

she understands my art more than anyone else

and she pays attention to the responses from the

customers

What is future plan for your art Things that

I would like to try are endless when you are

working on tableware As various as foods are I

would like to make all kind of tableware I can see

myself focusing on tableware for a while There is

one thing that I really want to try to do It is my

dream to go to a quiet place later and build a kiln

firing with logs for ceramics without glaze Firing

with logs and using ashes f or coloring ceramics

is really interesting

Is there an artist who influenced on your work I

should be careful but my teachers are not either

books or senior artists It is customers I try to

make things that my customers want If one

does not figure out what his customers want or

cannot read the trend good craft design cannot

be made If basic principle of craft is to make

something for daily use it must be right to make

what people want with my own taste

MOON YOOJIN

lsquoBachirsquo is pure Korean word for lsquocraftsmanrsquo It refers to a person who devotes

to hisher life to being authentic professional despite they used to belong to

lowest class Moon Yoojin decided to succeed such spirit even considering it as

calling and fortune She has faith as a person who started life as crafter to do

knotting and lacquer after leaving her life as a designer which she spent half of

her life She believes that if one accumulates one more knot and one more layer

of lacquer one lsquogood thingrsquo can come out of it the same as Jo Hoonhyun the

famous go player continued one move after another and became a master

Please explain your work lsquothe Knots Bagrsquo

It is a second bag inspired by our forefathersrsquo

craft called gat Its string was the only means formen to accessorize I wanted to link the virtue

of the string to contemporary living with subtlety

and grace to come up with the second bag This

bag looks like a gat if you put it upside down

(It also reminds us of donut too so it would be

okay to call it lsquodonut bagrsquo Polyester is mostly

used to make these because if you use natural

fabric the signature pleats are gone

It seems that name of the brand lsquoBachirsquo holds

your design philosophy as a whole It is the

name of the brand and the name of my company

also Bachi refers to a person who devotes his

life to make only one thing The word can be

combined with name of the thing that bachi

make Letrsquos say someone is called gatbachi

it refers to someone who makes things with

gat(leather) and matchstick bachi means not

someone who sells matchstick but makes and

sells them They were creators literally I wanted

to succeed in the mind of theirs

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Contemporary application of tradition

Why do you favor knotting technique

If you make a mistake while applying lacquer

you can either apply one more layer or find

another way of correcting it However if you

make a mistake during knotting you cannot

ever get the result that you intended It is why

knotting is both difficult and attractive One of

the reasons that make knotting craftsmen so

great is they memorize all the techniques by

heart But it makes hard to disseminate I felt

bad this traditional knotting continued only to

be in the state of home decoration Through

lsquoapplicationrsquo processes I wanted such traditionbe penetrated in to the lives of ours I developed

ideas that make knots equipped with functions

instead being considered as additional element

old school ornament Its result is lsquothe knots bagrsquo

you see here

How do you envision your life as crafter

in ten years I hope I am a craft designer

acknowledged for my editions and I would like to

publish a monograph

Many attach expression of lsquofun furniturersquo on your

work If you sum up your art into one sentence

what would that be

Design that combines curiosity and imagination

Designer Kim Juilrsquos work can be described

as something literally crosses over craft and

design After the detailed design you add labor

element by hand donrsquot you

Thatrsquos right It is literally lsquocraft+designrsquo I consider

the basic way of thinking and story behind craft

and design are same They only have different

ways of expression My work also combines

industrial technique and fabrication process

of craft But I would not particularly want to

separate them either

Eco-friendliness has become the issue needsto be resolved in design and craft field Do you

have anything in your work that implements

such issue I am incorporating lsquocirculation

structurersquo in the principle of design If possible I

choose sturdy and recyclable material and eco-

friendly elements are always included in the

foundation of my design

Including Craft Trend Fair I have participated

in many other fairs related to craft and design

Salone Satellite that I have participated with the

students from Hanseo University left me with

deep impression among them It meant a lot

because we were officially invited through one

year of preparation We received remarks like we

are lsquobuilding forms and style through designrsquo

We took the theme lsquocrossing point of East and

West Fish hung on the ceiling using principle of

expansion and contraction work that animated

each color of yarn by adding light fixture etc

works that accentuated craftwork were most

popular among audience members

will be used So his work appears highly refined on one hand and rough

How did you start metal craft What was the

motivation My father has been in jewelry craft

industry over 30 years I had chance to look at him

working and gradually got interested in this field

Looking closely at daily nicknacks drawing ideas

being curious about hands on processes and

enjoying to make them led me to the work today

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Hyunsung Brandrdquo

I would like to say that it is effectiveness in

function practicality simplicity and friendliness of

design

Is there an artist who influenced you And Why

Sculptor Brancusi influenced me a lot He got

rid of all the unnecessary details and his way of

condensing all the energies inside is quite inspiringIndustrial designer Dieter Rams as well as metal

crafter Koh Bohyung and Shim Hyunseok come

to my mind These two craftsmen taught me not

only through the their work but also through the

way of living and way of looking at things

Sikijang exhibition ltThe coffee

makers+gt (20141126~1220 Arumjigi

company house Tonguidong)

02 03 His studio view

04 Bronze dripper

What is most important aspect in creating

works I purposely avoid make things in perfect

and stylish form Most responses that I get

are they look a bit clumsy I make an effort to

find shapes that are imperfect or clumsy form

purposely This is to provoke the viewers to

question to a certain extend themselves about

forms I feel happiest when the void I created

leads to the conversation with the viewers

What is the best lsquomasterpiecersquo in craft or

design that you ever encountered

Not long ago I was flabbergasted by Park

Honggursquos woodenware It has the shape that

does not have any unnecessary element It is

no doubt that he knows his material so well

What do you think young crafters anddesigners including you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

I think Korea society is quite chaotic now The

worse thing is that the entire burden from such

situation is loaded on to young generationrsquos

shoulders In the society where landing on a job

they can love and being happy is impossible

choosing craft as their job is even harder I

would like to say that we should think the fact

that we made such a difficult decision as it is

and it is worthy enough to think one should

continue what they have been doing

Please tell me about your work lsquoSoSo( 小昭 )rsquo

SoSo is a set of spoon chopstick and cutlery

rest using traditional techniques from mother-

of-pearl lacquer and gilding Pendant The idea

of Ah Ottrsquo came up while working on the spoon

rest

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Lacquer+blank All of my works is finished with

lacquer in the end

What kinds of processes are needed to produce

one work SoSo for example it takes 3-4 times

of lacquering on cut wood Sometime several

more times of lacquering and grinding are

needed after gluing mother-of-pearl or gold foil in

order to set it Lastly it is finished with polishing

What is the uniqueness of lsquoKang Heejung

Brandrsquo lsquoReservednessrsquo The style that is

traditional but not classical

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers who is active in the field

It is hard to pick just one since there are so

many great designers in Korea Among foreign

designers I love Enzo Mari who is representative

of Italian Modern design and Japanese designer

Nagaoka Genmei

What drives you to continue your work

Thought that there are people who want my

work(product)

Is there an item that you would like to challenge

to create in the future I would like a chance to

design a space full with my works

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I would like to continue making things

It does not have to be a lot but constantly While

showing my own color I would like to be a crafter

Though the method of numbering each

ceramic tiles in the elements of ceramic

object can sound lsquonot different than otherrsquo and

disadvantageous

Yes I heard that many times People even tell me

to put a stop to it However I would not make a

big effort to change the way of working or break

the habit If the time comes that I get bored or I

wonrsquot be able to do it with some reason I would

follow the natural course I too am curious how

my work is going to be ended The same as two

characters ltWaiting for Godotgt without knowing

who Godot is I just add the tiles I am doing it as

far as I can Wouldnrsquot it be okay if one or two do

something looks stupid

Work by Bae Sejin is more of a sculpture thanceramic Do you consider yourself you are on

the border between them

I do not particularly feel the need of categorize

such thing I am on the border of this side end

and that side Next project that I am planning

will be more ambiguous in terms of the borders

But one thing is sure that I will continue to keep

01 04 Bae Sejinrsquos ltWaiting

for Godotgt

02 03 Bae Sejinrsquos sculptural

and flat object show wide

spectrum of craft

this position because I believe that craft is

something for a man devotes himself and make

it with all his heart

What issue interests you as an artist

First is adding functionality on sculptural object

(it means to make something useful in life)

Second is to reduce the size of the works For

that matter trying to make change in materials

rather than clay

Your experience with fairs abroad as

participants or attendee have influenced you

Biggest influence I get from such experience is

being motivated One thing that you constantly

have in your mind is lsquoif you are doing rightrsquo

When many people like your work in exhibitions

abroad and that leads to sales channel it can

be great motivation for your art

What kind of work have you created

I have created objects for a long time But I

started to add functionality in my works that is

entitled lsquoArt Deco Warersquo Cups dishes bowls

etc I am communicating with people through

art porcelain goods that emphasizes both

aestheticity and functionality

Which material do you prefer to use And Why

I normally use white clay White clay is most

effective and appropriate material that can bring

out the essential beauty of Korean traditional craft

The material also allows me to accentuate stylistic

finishing at the same time There I add colored

clay and liquid gold to create various flows which

is the concept in the lsquoFliessenrsquo series

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or potters As I continue the concept

of lsquoFliessenrsquo through the brand called lsquoceramic

by leezeesoorsquo I was able to present variety of

patterns every year Harmony of aestheticity and

visualizing both contemporary and traditional

sensibility with white clay may be counted as the

characteristics of my work

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers I admire Lee Youngjae

who lives in Germany When I was having hard

time to choose which school I should go in

Germany to study pottery I ran into him on a

street Then he advised me to go Giebichenstein

01 Gold and blue porcelain one of the lsquoFliessenrsquo series Tall cup

Besides this do you have any other objects

that inspire you I am particularly impressed by

It is no doubt that his cups will be appreciated by gentlemen rather than by

the hands of usual ladies His cups are intriguing though different from usual

designs he does not either throw on the wheel or cast but make them with

slab of clay so they look like he rolled cardboards He always goes beyond

conventional methods including experimenting with combination of clay and

metal and polishing surface of ceramic instead of glazing This couldnrsquot help

to make you wonder lsquowhat is the nextrsquo

Your brand name lsquoDeep Cobaltrsquo sounds unique

What is the meaning behind it

I ran in to the phrase while reading a novel when

I was young I liked its abstract association with

lsquothe color of a deep oceanrsquo

You chose handbuilding technique with slab of

clay instead of wheel throwing or casting What

are the merits and demerits

Wheel throwing and casting technique require

postproduction process even after building

shapes and drying the clay On one hand

handbuilding method allows me to finish the

making process at the building shapes stage

without additional process It also allows me to

create the shape my porcelains a fun look of

paper On the other hand it has low success

rate and takes longer time because it requires

polishing process after second firing

Another unusual fact of the Deep Cobalt is that

it uses clay called Black Mountain instead of

normal porcelain clay What is the reason for it

First of all it is because of the color of the clay I

learned about it while I was looking for clay that

has rougher texture and color There are clays

with rough texture but no such color It fitted very

well for my work that uses minimum amount of

glaze and emphasizing natural characteristics of

clay Using heat wire (in order not to be rusted

while fired on 1200 degree) or gluing leather is

the influence from the experience of ceramic

object work I did before I started ceramic craft

Maybe that is the reason

Would you make self-assessment of the fact

why Deep Cobalt has drawn attention among

active crafters

I would say people tend to be amazed by them

rather than loving them They look different than

other craftersrsquo Would it be the reason My work

looks like rather a tin can than ceramic pot The

basic principle is being persistent attempting to

make new design I kept in mind that the cups

are drinking tool The cup is the outcome of the

design that I approached from this perspective

Which design do you think is lsquothe best of the

01 04 He flattens slab of clay and builds the shape by

rolling them like a sheet of paper

02 He recently added leather on his heat wire handle

03 Mug cups and strainer that reveals natural

characteristics of clay called lsquoBlack Mountainrsquo

best craft or deignrsquo Freitag bags Not only the

design is excellent but also the concept behind

deserves the status It recycles used seat belt

bicycle tube truck taps etc It is quite interesting

to know people still love them even though each

bag looks different from each other because it is

recycling used materials

Including artist Hyun Sanghwa what do you

think the young artists lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

If you have idea of a work you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

without hesitant

CHO BYUNGJU

Cho Byungju creates furniture with emphasize on

its function and characteristics of the material He

also does not hide changes that take place during

manufacturing process because his motto is all should

be able to understand and appreciate designer

furniture by its simplicity and straightforwardness

unlike the notion of designer furniture often gives out

notion of that they are difficult and complex

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Also I would like to work on Korean restaurant

that I would pour my whole energy and ability on

its furniture interior tableware etc

Ten years from now what kind of crafter or

designer you want to be considered

An artist who knows his material well

Who do you highly esteem among crafters or

designers

Furniture designer Ha Jihoon who led me to

furniture design and the architect Ando Tadao

Traditional Craftgt

ltTexturegt

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

Soban is an interesting object A table normally

functions to gather people around them However

soban small portable dining table is an item

that exhibits Korearsquos table custom first you have

to sit on the floor and this table is designed for

one person Though my first admiration toward

furniture design in college years went with Danish

design cornerstone of Scandinavianrsquos I was

fascinated Danish designrsquos timelessness enough

to go to study and the experience made deep

impact that can be compared to culture shock on

who I am now Ironic enough life there taught me

the value of lsquomy ownrsquo culture in which I was born

and raised This is the biggest knowledge I got

from studying abroad It is a shame that I have not

learned about Naju soban until I was 32 years old

when I met Kim Choonsik who is an intangible

cultural treasure of Korea for soban makingNaju

soban then appeared to be most outstanding even

for the eyes of young designer The legs of Naju

soban has round cylinder shape that narrows

down toward the bottom It stands vertically if you

look from the front and it looks slanted inside It

is designed like this in order to give more room

on the bottom After cutting out furrows from the

wood for blind that connects the legs and tabletop

is first soaked in water until it gets soft enough

to bend Making it with one piece of wood allows

the structure sturdier Same method is often used

in contemporary furniture making because it

avoids waste of material as well as distortion of its

tabletop This sobanrsquos lsquoreasonablersquo design must

have captivated young designerrsquos eye without

needing to hear further explanation WouldnrsquotNaju

soban deserve evaluation as universal design even

from the Westernized contemporary viewpoint

Only regret is that I have not realized it earlier

This pot design was the first creation after I

came back from Japan about 10 years ago Its

production is still continued because it has been

loved for its balance and safety not to mention the

high functionality Despite that the harder it gets

the more we try to design a pot When I started

teaching college students I took over plaster

casting class that most students hate (If you are

ceramic major you would understand) Casting

can be frustrating for students before they get

to learn to have fun However I introduced them

various artworks that requires plaster casting

and persuaded them that it is necessary to get

familiarize if they wan to make as such I used to

show them NHKrsquos video documentation of work

by Sakaeki Masatoshi who has been my teacher

Lee Kyungmin one of my students ended up

visiting Japan because of my class and learned

under him for one year There are two works here

I am introducing one is Sakaeki Masatoshirsquos pot

design entitled Handle Vessel Series and Lee

Kyungminrsquos coffee cup and saucer design Circus

Series One is by teacher and by the student tied

to me as common denominator

This black matte pot was designed in 1995 but it

was only 2004 when it finally got mass-produced

I wonder if it owed to the unique shape of the

handle Comfortable contours and playful volume

and cobalt decoration etc theses recurring

characteristics in my teacherrsquos work provokes one

to feel that they must have at least one of them

This pot also has a handle that draws our attention

It has the shape of a thumb as if it presses its lid

Thus the handle does not touch the belly and it

does not get hot because it is hollowed The tip of

spout is designed not to waste even a drop The

lid that looks like a frogrsquos eye seems to represent

the completeness of his design he enjoyed While

it satisfies the function the shape is somewhat

strange The pot is sitting on my windowsill

since last Korea-Japan exchange exhibition 8-9

years ago Lee Kyungminrsquos coffee cup and a

saucer have cool and straight line that gives out

undecipherable tension It already has passed 5

years since he first visited this studio with the set

The cup with black glistening glaze fits precisely

in its depression Round contour inside of the

handle gives comfort It clearly shows his attention

to functionality in his design Is it why I even

heard pleasant news that he won a first place at

Westerwald Preis When I design kitchenware I

keep in mind that functionality is the essential It is

always the question when to stop I would like to

ask them if I am doing right

Sacred artifacts are expression of belief from a

community of church as well as criterion that

shows level of development of the church Sacred

artifacts including crosses are used in various

ways within Christianity Catholics in particular

holy images cross rosary vessel for holy water

icon etc are used to help spiritual exercise on

personal level and this makes one person to keep

quite large number of sacred artifacts Crosses

were once used to hang prisoners in ancient EastHowever after Jesus Christ sacrificed himself

on the cross for the redemption of human sins

on behalf of all humanity cross has become the

theological symbol for his lsquohardship and deathrsquo

lsquosacrifice and loversquo lsquoimmortality and salvationrsquo

The forms of cross vary more than you think For

me vertical line means the relation between the

God and me while horizontal line does relation

between me and people who live together the

same period of time As one of those who barely

manage day-to-day hardship by the force of life

cross becomes the energy source to survive the

present and the reason for another day I start

my day making an eye contact with it The silver

cross for holding made by Cho Sungho is a very

special one among the sacred artifacts that I have

We all are influenced by objects around us in daily

lives lsquoSincerityrsquo toward religion always conveys

the scent of artistic aura and the art that pursues

sincere beauty always allow us to experience

religious transcendence What enables my lifetoday is this belief that there always exists utmost

beauty wherever art crosses religion

What kind of work you have been working on

In college years I was interested in experimenting

various materials and approaches Feeling being

more curious about materials pursuing graduate

level education seemed natural to me as next

step There I was introduced environmental

issues and started making pertinent objects

First piece that I made was lunch box Though

pet bottle that is considered as disposable it is

recyclable So I made light weighted lunch box

with it Taking it as starting point I have been

making kitchenware and baskets that are closed

to our daily lives with my own methods

Where do you get your inspiration

Nothing particular Architectures factory goods

or various materials from media have been onesOften times things just came in to my mind while

making or using objects Open-fold fruit bowl

for example I kept thinking to make a bowl that

I can open and fold and the idea came when I

looked at the shape of flower and I developed

from it

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or crafters I do not hung up with the

idea of being unique Originality of an object is

not something that its maker can judge I just

want to make good things and try to fully express

what I think

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I want to be someone who enriches

the living of people or someone who deeply

concerned with authentic happiness

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers My advisor Professor

Koh Bohyung

What do you think young crafters and designers

including you should do for the development

of craft and design of the country If you are a

young crafter or designer I think it is important

have faith in yourself and act by it Artist shouldhave faith and be able to express his own voice

to the world

If you sum up your art and its characteristicsinto one sentence Tableware design that

combines practicality and estheticism

Tell us briefly about the technique you use and

the making process of your work I have mostly

worked on white porcelain tableware Majority of

them were made with wheel throwing technique

Slip casting is also used when I wanted more

unique design Sometime I use different glaze for

inside from out side As I am working more on

tableware I get the chance to use it for myself

putting my food in them and make corrections

on the design if needed

Silver finishing is used for some of the works Is

there special reason for that I went to a special

talk addressed by a Japanese artist when I was

in grad school He used silver foils on small

part of his work and that got interested me to try

some experiments using silver Silver gives you

feeling if it is alive because it gradually changes

its color as it gets oxidized So I have continued

using silver as finishing material since 2007

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Heejong Brandrdquo

lsquoContaining stories in the designrsquo might be it

When I design an item I think of wonderful

memories in the past or present to apply in it

You are running a shop And that is rare for

artists What good is in running your own shop

I have worked considering that fairs are

equivalent to exhibitions And I value the time

I communicate with audience at the field

However fairs are only stayed open up to 5days making the time with audience too short

I also have been thinking it costs a lot to be in

a fair and find it hectic packing and unpacking

freights Then I opened a shop at Sagimakgol

Icheon Gyeonggi Province It was located in

the middle of wholesale district where in which

number of young artists and retail customers

are growing My wife who majored ceramic art is

running the shop She is most helpful because

she understands my art more than anyone else

and she pays attention to the responses from the

customers

What is future plan for your art Things that

I would like to try are endless when you are

working on tableware As various as foods are I

would like to make all kind of tableware I can see

myself focusing on tableware for a while There is

one thing that I really want to try to do It is my

dream to go to a quiet place later and build a kiln

firing with logs for ceramics without glaze Firing

with logs and using ashes f or coloring ceramics

is really interesting

Is there an artist who influenced on your work I

should be careful but my teachers are not either

books or senior artists It is customers I try to

make things that my customers want If one

does not figure out what his customers want or

cannot read the trend good craft design cannot

be made If basic principle of craft is to make

something for daily use it must be right to make

what people want with my own taste

lsquoBachirsquo is pure Korean word for lsquocraftsmanrsquo It refers to a person who devotes

to hisher life to being authentic professional despite they used to belong to

lowest class Moon Yoojin decided to succeed such spirit even considering it as

calling and fortune She has faith as a person who started life as crafter to do

knotting and lacquer after leaving her life as a designer which she spent half of

her life She believes that if one accumulates one more knot and one more layer

of lacquer one lsquogood thingrsquo can come out of it the same as Jo Hoonhyun the

Please explain your work lsquothe Knots Bagrsquo

It is a second bag inspired by our forefathersrsquo

craft called gat Its string was the only means formen to accessorize I wanted to link the virtue

of the string to contemporary living with subtlety

and grace to come up with the second bag This

bag looks like a gat if you put it upside down

(It also reminds us of donut too so it would be

okay to call it lsquodonut bagrsquo Polyester is mostly

used to make these because if you use natural

fabric the signature pleats are gone

It seems that name of the brand lsquoBachirsquo holds

your design philosophy as a whole It is the

name of the brand and the name of my company

also Bachi refers to a person who devotes his

life to make only one thing The word can be

combined with name of the thing that bachi

make Letrsquos say someone is called gatbachi

it refers to someone who makes things with

gat(leather) and matchstick bachi means not

someone who sells matchstick but makes and

sells them They were creators literally I wanted

to succeed in the mind of theirs

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Contemporary application of tradition

Why do you favor knotting technique

If you make a mistake while applying lacquer

you can either apply one more layer or find

another way of correcting it However if you

make a mistake during knotting you cannot

ever get the result that you intended It is why

knotting is both difficult and attractive One of

the reasons that make knotting craftsmen so

great is they memorize all the techniques by

heart But it makes hard to disseminate I felt

bad this traditional knotting continued only to

be in the state of home decoration Through

lsquoapplicationrsquo processes I wanted such traditionbe penetrated in to the lives of ours I developed

ideas that make knots equipped with functions

instead being considered as additional element

old school ornament Its result is lsquothe knots bagrsquo

you see here

How do you envision your life as crafter

in ten years I hope I am a craft designer

acknowledged for my editions and I would like to

publish a monograph

Many attach expression of lsquofun furniturersquo on your

work If you sum up your art into one sentence

what would that be

Design that combines curiosity and imagination

Designer Kim Juilrsquos work can be described

as something literally crosses over craft and

design After the detailed design you add labor

element by hand donrsquot you

Thatrsquos right It is literally lsquocraft+designrsquo I consider

the basic way of thinking and story behind craft

and design are same They only have different

ways of expression My work also combines

industrial technique and fabrication process

of craft But I would not particularly want to

separate them either

Eco-friendliness has become the issue needsto be resolved in design and craft field Do you

have anything in your work that implements

such issue I am incorporating lsquocirculation

structurersquo in the principle of design If possible I

How did you start metal craft What was the

motivation My father has been in jewelry craft

industry over 30 years I had chance to look at him

working and gradually got interested in this field

Looking closely at daily nicknacks drawing ideas

being curious about hands on processes and

enjoying to make them led me to the work today

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Hyunsung Brandrdquo

I would like to say that it is effectiveness in

function practicality simplicity and friendliness of

design

Is there an artist who influenced you And Why

Sculptor Brancusi influenced me a lot He got

rid of all the unnecessary details and his way of

condensing all the energies inside is quite inspiringIndustrial designer Dieter Rams as well as metal

crafter Koh Bohyung and Shim Hyunseok come

to my mind These two craftsmen taught me not

only through the their work but also through the

way of living and way of looking at things

04 Bronze dripper

What is most important aspect in creating

works I purposely avoid make things in perfect

and stylish form Most responses that I get

are they look a bit clumsy I make an effort to

find shapes that are imperfect or clumsy form

purposely This is to provoke the viewers to

question to a certain extend themselves about

forms I feel happiest when the void I created

leads to the conversation with the viewers

What is the best lsquomasterpiecersquo in craft or

design that you ever encountered

Not long ago I was flabbergasted by Park

Honggursquos woodenware It has the shape that

does not have any unnecessary element It is

no doubt that he knows his material so well

What do you think young crafters anddesigners including you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

I think Korea society is quite chaotic now The

worse thing is that the entire burden from such

situation is loaded on to young generationrsquos

shoulders In the society where landing on a job

they can love and being happy is impossible

choosing craft as their job is even harder I

would like to say that we should think the fact

that we made such a difficult decision as it is

and it is worthy enough to think one should

continue what they have been doing

Please tell me about your work lsquoSoSo( 小昭 )rsquo

SoSo is a set of spoon chopstick and cutlery

rest using traditional techniques from mother-

of-pearl lacquer and gilding Pendant The idea

of Ah Ottrsquo came up while working on the spoon

rest

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Lacquer+blank All of my works is finished with

lacquer in the end

What kinds of processes are needed to produce

one work SoSo for example it takes 3-4 times

of lacquering on cut wood Sometime several

more times of lacquering and grinding are

needed after gluing mother-of-pearl or gold foil in

order to set it Lastly it is finished with polishing

What is the uniqueness of lsquoKang Heejung

Brandrsquo lsquoReservednessrsquo The style that is

traditional but not classical

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers who is active in the field

It is hard to pick just one since there are so

many great designers in Korea Among foreign

designers I love Enzo Mari who is representative

of Italian Modern design and Japanese designer

Nagaoka Genmei

What drives you to continue your work

Thought that there are people who want my

work(product)

Is there an item that you would like to challenge

to create in the future I would like a chance to

design a space full with my works

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I would like to continue making things

It does not have to be a lot but constantly While

showing my own color I would like to be a crafter

who makes up-to-dated objects that people trust

and want to have

Do you have other objects that inspire you

Though the method of numbering each

ceramic tiles in the elements of ceramic

object can sound lsquonot different than otherrsquo and

disadvantageous

Yes I heard that many times People even tell me

to put a stop to it However I would not make a

big effort to change the way of working or break

the habit If the time comes that I get bored or I

wonrsquot be able to do it with some reason I would

follow the natural course I too am curious how

my work is going to be ended The same as two

characters ltWaiting for Godotgt without knowing

who Godot is I just add the tiles I am doing it as

far as I can Wouldnrsquot it be okay if one or two do

something looks stupid

Work by Bae Sejin is more of a sculpture thanceramic Do you consider yourself you are on

the border between them

I do not particularly feel the need of categorize

such thing I am on the border of this side end

and that side Next project that I am planning

will be more ambiguous in terms of the borders

But one thing is sure that I will continue to keep

01 04 Bae Sejinrsquos ltWaiting

for Godotgt

02 03 Bae Sejinrsquos sculptural

and flat object show wide

spectrum of craft

this position because I believe that craft is

something for a man devotes himself and make

it with all his heart

What issue interests you as an artist

First is adding functionality on sculptural object

(it means to make something useful in life)

Second is to reduce the size of the works For

that matter trying to make change in materials

rather than clay

Your experience with fairs abroad as

participants or attendee have influenced you

Biggest influence I get from such experience is

being motivated One thing that you constantly

have in your mind is lsquoif you are doing rightrsquo

When many people like your work in exhibitions

abroad and that leads to sales channel it can

be great motivation for your art

German word for lsquoflowrsquo While it refers to flowing pattern that two or more

colors are mixed but it also denotes psychological state in which one is

lsquoimmersed into something enough to forget time flowsrsquo Her traditional

porcelain is contemporary expression of her passion energy and juissance that

What kind of work have you created

I have created objects for a long time But I

started to add functionality in my works that is

entitled lsquoArt Deco Warersquo Cups dishes bowls

etc I am communicating with people through

art porcelain goods that emphasizes both

aestheticity and functionality

Which material do you prefer to use And Why

I normally use white clay White clay is most

effective and appropriate material that can bring

out the essential beauty of Korean traditional craft

The material also allows me to accentuate stylistic

finishing at the same time There I add colored

clay and liquid gold to create various flows which

is the concept in the lsquoFliessenrsquo series

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or potters As I continue the concept

of lsquoFliessenrsquo through the brand called lsquoceramic

by leezeesoorsquo I was able to present variety of

patterns every year Harmony of aestheticity and

visualizing both contemporary and traditional

sensibility with white clay may be counted as the

characteristics of my work

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers I admire Lee Youngjae

who lives in Germany When I was having hard

time to choose which school I should go in

Germany to study pottery I ran into him on a

street Then he advised me to go Giebichenstein

Kunsthochschule Halle Also the works by the

late Lee Ungno inspire me

Besides this do you have any other objects

that inspire you I am particularly impressed by

paintings depicting group of people among the

late Lee Ungnorsquos oeuvre Nature bird sounds

architecture etc there are too many to pick just

one

It is no doubt that his cups will be appreciated by gentlemen rather than by

the hands of usual ladies His cups are intriguing though different from usual

designs he does not either throw on the wheel or cast but make them with

slab of clay so they look like he rolled cardboards He always goes beyond

conventional methods including experimenting with combination of clay and

metal and polishing surface of ceramic instead of glazing This couldnrsquot help

to make you wonder lsquowhat is the nextrsquo

Your brand name lsquoDeep Cobaltrsquo sounds unique

What is the meaning behind it

I ran in to the phrase while reading a novel when

I was young I liked its abstract association with

lsquothe color of a deep oceanrsquo

You chose handbuilding technique with slab of

clay instead of wheel throwing or casting What

are the merits and demerits

Wheel throwing and casting technique require

postproduction process even after building

shapes and drying the clay On one hand

handbuilding method allows me to finish the

making process at the building shapes stage

without additional process It also allows me to

create the shape my porcelains a fun look of

paper On the other hand it has low success

rate and takes longer time because it requires

polishing process after second firing

Another unusual fact of the Deep Cobalt is that

it uses clay called Black Mountain instead of

normal porcelain clay What is the reason for it

First of all it is because of the color of the clay I

learned about it while I was looking for clay that

has rougher texture and color There are clays

with rough texture but no such color It fitted very

well for my work that uses minimum amount of

glaze and emphasizing natural characteristics of

clay Using heat wire (in order not to be rusted

while fired on 1200 degree) or gluing leather is

the influence from the experience of ceramic

object work I did before I started ceramic craft

Maybe that is the reason

Would you make self-assessment of the fact

why Deep Cobalt has drawn attention among

active crafters

I would say people tend to be amazed by them

rather than loving them They look different than

other craftersrsquo Would it be the reason My work

looks like rather a tin can than ceramic pot The

basic principle is being persistent attempting to

make new design I kept in mind that the cups

are drinking tool The cup is the outcome of the

design that I approached from this perspective

Which design do you think is lsquothe best of the

01 04 He flattens slab of clay and builds the shape by

rolling them like a sheet of paper

02 He recently added leather on his heat wire handle

03 Mug cups and strainer that reveals natural

characteristics of clay called lsquoBlack Mountainrsquo

best craft or deignrsquo Freitag bags Not only the

design is excellent but also the concept behind

deserves the status It recycles used seat belt

bicycle tube truck taps etc It is quite interesting

to know people still love them even though each

bag looks different from each other because it is

recycling used materials

Including artist Hyun Sanghwa what do you

think the young artists lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

If you have idea of a work you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

its function and characteristics of the material He

also does not hide changes that take place during

manufacturing process because his motto is all should

be able to understand and appreciate designer

furniture by its simplicity and straightforwardness

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Also I would like to work on Korean restaurant

that I would pour my whole energy and ability on

its furniture interior tableware etc

Ten years from now what kind of crafter or

designer you want to be considered

An artist who knows his material well

Who do you highly esteem among crafters or

designers

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

Boy-rice) etchellip they are the sosengs that we are planning

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

It snowed a lot this winter Gongju also turned into a land

of white snow Stepping on the heaped up snowfall we

have visited Gongjursquos attractions There were full of old

stories as a city of history without fail and precious relics

were boasting its grace here and there as museum without

roof Moreover the temples under the blanket of snow

looked quite romantic

This pot design was the first creation after I

came back from Japan about 10 years ago Its

production is still continued because it has been

loved for its balance and safety not to mention the

high functionality Despite that the harder it gets

the more we try to design a pot When I started

teaching college students I took over plaster

casting class that most students hate (If you are

ceramic major you would understand) Casting

can be frustrating for students before they get

to learn to have fun However I introduced them

various artworks that requires plaster casting

and persuaded them that it is necessary to get

familiarize if they wan to make as such I used to

show them NHKrsquos video documentation of work

by Sakaeki Masatoshi who has been my teacher

Lee Kyungmin one of my students ended up

visiting Japan because of my class and learned

under him for one year There are two works here

I am introducing one is Sakaeki Masatoshirsquos pot

design entitled Handle Vessel Series and Lee

Kyungminrsquos coffee cup and saucer design Circus

Series One is by teacher and by the student tied

to me as common denominator

This black matte pot was designed in 1995 but it

was only 2004 when it finally got mass-produced

I wonder if it owed to the unique shape of the

handle Comfortable contours and playful volume

and cobalt decoration etc theses recurring

characteristics in my teacherrsquos work provokes one

to feel that they must have at least one of them

This pot also has a handle that draws our attention

It has the shape of a thumb as if it presses its lid

Thus the handle does not touch the belly and it

does not get hot because it is hollowed The tip of

spout is designed not to waste even a drop The

lid that looks like a frogrsquos eye seems to represent

the completeness of his design he enjoyed While

it satisfies the function the shape is somewhat

strange The pot is sitting on my windowsill

since last Korea-Japan exchange exhibition 8-9

years ago Lee Kyungminrsquos coffee cup and a

saucer have cool and straight line that gives out

undecipherable tension It already has passed 5

years since he first visited this studio with the set

The cup with black glistening glaze fits precisely

in its depression Round contour inside of the

handle gives comfort It clearly shows his attention

to functionality in his design Is it why I even

heard pleasant news that he won a first place at

Westerwald Preis When I design kitchenware I

keep in mind that functionality is the essential It is

always the question when to stop I would like to

ask them if I am doing right

Sacred artifacts are expression of belief from a

community of church as well as criterion that

shows level of development of the church Sacred

artifacts including crosses are used in various

ways within Christianity Catholics in particular

holy images cross rosary vessel for holy water

icon etc are used to help spiritual exercise on

personal level and this makes one person to keep

quite large number of sacred artifacts Crosses

were once used to hang prisoners in ancient EastHowever after Jesus Christ sacrificed himself

on the cross for the redemption of human sins

on behalf of all humanity cross has become the

theological symbol for his lsquohardship and deathrsquo

lsquosacrifice and loversquo lsquoimmortality and salvationrsquo

The forms of cross vary more than you think For

me vertical line means the relation between the

God and me while horizontal line does relation

between me and people who live together the

same period of time As one of those who barely

manage day-to-day hardship by the force of life

cross becomes the energy source to survive the

present and the reason for another day I start

my day making an eye contact with it The silver

cross for holding made by Cho Sungho is a very

special one among the sacred artifacts that I have

We all are influenced by objects around us in daily

lives lsquoSincerityrsquo toward religion always conveys

the scent of artistic aura and the art that pursues

What kind of work you have been working on

In college years I was interested in experimenting

various materials and approaches Feeling being

more curious about materials pursuing graduate

level education seemed natural to me as next

step There I was introduced environmental

issues and started making pertinent objects

First piece that I made was lunch box Though

pet bottle that is considered as disposable it is

recyclable So I made light weighted lunch box

with it Taking it as starting point I have been

making kitchenware and baskets that are closed

to our daily lives with my own methods

Where do you get your inspiration

Nothing particular Architectures factory goods

or various materials from media have been onesOften times things just came in to my mind while

making or using objects Open-fold fruit bowl

for example I kept thinking to make a bowl that

I can open and fold and the idea came when I

looked at the shape of flower and I developed

from it

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or crafters I do not hung up with the

idea of being unique Originality of an object is

not something that its maker can judge I just

want to make good things and try to fully express

what I think

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I want to be someone who enriches

the living of people or someone who deeply

concerned with authentic happiness

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers My advisor Professor

Koh Bohyung

What do you think young crafters and designers

including you should do for the development

of craft and design of the country If you are a

young crafter or designer I think it is important

have faith in yourself and act by it Artist shouldhave faith and be able to express his own voice

to the world

Where the readers can purchase your work You

If you sum up your art and its characteristicsinto one sentence Tableware design that

combines practicality and estheticism

Tell us briefly about the technique you use and

the making process of your work I have mostly

worked on white porcelain tableware Majority of

them were made with wheel throwing technique

Slip casting is also used when I wanted more

unique design Sometime I use different glaze for

inside from out side As I am working more on

tableware I get the chance to use it for myself

putting my food in them and make corrections

on the design if needed

Silver finishing is used for some of the works Is

there special reason for that I went to a special

talk addressed by a Japanese artist when I was

in grad school He used silver foils on small

part of his work and that got interested me to try

some experiments using silver Silver gives you

feeling if it is alive because it gradually changes

its color as it gets oxidized So I have continued

using silver as finishing material since 2007

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Heejong Brandrdquo

lsquoContaining stories in the designrsquo might be it

When I design an item I think of wonderful

memories in the past or present to apply in it

You are running a shop And that is rare for

artists What good is in running your own shop

I have worked considering that fairs are

equivalent to exhibitions And I value the time

I communicate with audience at the field

However fairs are only stayed open up to 5days making the time with audience too short

I also have been thinking it costs a lot to be in

a fair and find it hectic packing and unpacking

freights Then I opened a shop at Sagimakgol

Icheon Gyeonggi Province It was located in

the middle of wholesale district where in which

number of young artists and retail customers

are growing My wife who majored ceramic art is

running the shop She is most helpful because

she understands my art more than anyone else

and she pays attention to the responses from the

customers

What is future plan for your art Things that

I would like to try are endless when you are

working on tableware As various as foods are I

would like to make all kind of tableware I can see

myself focusing on tableware for a while There is

one thing that I really want to try to do It is my

dream to go to a quiet place later and build a kiln

firing with logs for ceramics without glaze Firing

with logs and using ashes f or coloring ceramics

is really interesting

Is there an artist who influenced on your work I

should be careful but my teachers are not either

books or senior artists It is customers I try to

make things that my customers want If one

does not figure out what his customers want or

cannot read the trend good craft design cannot

be made If basic principle of craft is to make

something for daily use it must be right to make

what people want with my own taste

lsquoBachirsquo is pure Korean word for lsquocraftsmanrsquo It refers to a person who devotes

to hisher life to being authentic professional despite they used to belong to

lowest class Moon Yoojin decided to succeed such spirit even considering it as

calling and fortune She has faith as a person who started life as crafter to do

knotting and lacquer after leaving her life as a designer which she spent half of

her life She believes that if one accumulates one more knot and one more layer

of lacquer one lsquogood thingrsquo can come out of it the same as Jo Hoonhyun the

famous go player continued one move after another and became a master

Please explain your work lsquothe Knots Bagrsquo

It is a second bag inspired by our forefathersrsquo

craft called gat Its string was the only means formen to accessorize I wanted to link the virtue

of the string to contemporary living with subtlety

and grace to come up with the second bag This

bag looks like a gat if you put it upside down

(It also reminds us of donut too so it would be

okay to call it lsquodonut bagrsquo Polyester is mostly

used to make these because if you use natural

fabric the signature pleats are gone

It seems that name of the brand lsquoBachirsquo holds

your design philosophy as a whole It is the

name of the brand and the name of my company

also Bachi refers to a person who devotes his

life to make only one thing The word can be

combined with name of the thing that bachi

make Letrsquos say someone is called gatbachi

it refers to someone who makes things with

gat(leather) and matchstick bachi means not

someone who sells matchstick but makes and

sells them They were creators literally I wanted

to succeed in the mind of theirs

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Contemporary application of tradition

Why do you favor knotting technique

If you make a mistake while applying lacquer

you can either apply one more layer or find

another way of correcting it However if you

make a mistake during knotting you cannot

ever get the result that you intended It is why

knotting is both difficult and attractive One of

the reasons that make knotting craftsmen so

great is they memorize all the techniques by

heart But it makes hard to disseminate I felt

bad this traditional knotting continued only to

be in the state of home decoration Through

lsquoapplicationrsquo processes I wanted such traditionbe penetrated in to the lives of ours I developed

ideas that make knots equipped with functions

instead being considered as additional element

old school ornament Its result is lsquothe knots bagrsquo

you see here

How do you envision your life as crafter

in ten years I hope I am a craft designer

acknowledged for my editions and I would like to

publish a monograph

Many attach expression of lsquofun furniturersquo on your

work If you sum up your art into one sentence

what would that be

Design that combines curiosity and imagination

Designer Kim Juilrsquos work can be described

as something literally crosses over craft and

design After the detailed design you add labor

element by hand donrsquot you

Thatrsquos right It is literally lsquocraft+designrsquo I consider

the basic way of thinking and story behind craft

and design are same They only have different

ways of expression My work also combines

industrial technique and fabrication process

of craft But I would not particularly want to

separate them either

Eco-friendliness has become the issue needsto be resolved in design and craft field Do you

have anything in your work that implements

such issue I am incorporating lsquocirculation

structurersquo in the principle of design If possible I

choose sturdy and recyclable material and eco-

friendly elements are always included in the

foundation of my design

Including Craft Trend Fair I have participated

in many other fairs related to craft and design

Salone Satellite that I have participated with the

students from Hanseo University left me with

deep impression among them It meant a lot

because we were officially invited through one

year of preparation We received remarks like we

are lsquobuilding forms and style through designrsquo

We took the theme lsquocrossing point of East and

West Fish hung on the ceiling using principle of

works that accentuated craftwork were most

How did you start metal craft What was the

motivation My father has been in jewelry craft

industry over 30 years I had chance to look at him

working and gradually got interested in this field

Looking closely at daily nicknacks drawing ideas

being curious about hands on processes and

enjoying to make them led me to the work today

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Hyunsung Brandrdquo

I would like to say that it is effectiveness in

function practicality simplicity and friendliness of

design

Is there an artist who influenced you And Why

Sculptor Brancusi influenced me a lot He got

rid of all the unnecessary details and his way of

condensing all the energies inside is quite inspiringIndustrial designer Dieter Rams as well as metal

crafter Koh Bohyung and Shim Hyunseok come

to my mind These two craftsmen taught me not

only through the their work but also through the

way of living and way of looking at things

Sikijang exhibition ltThe coffee

makers+gt (20141126~1220 Arumjigi

02 03 His studio view

04 Bronze dripper

What is most important aspect in creating

works I purposely avoid make things in perfect

and stylish form Most responses that I get

are they look a bit clumsy I make an effort to

find shapes that are imperfect or clumsy form

purposely This is to provoke the viewers to

question to a certain extend themselves about

forms I feel happiest when the void I created

leads to the conversation with the viewers

What is the best lsquomasterpiecersquo in craft or

design that you ever encountered

Not long ago I was flabbergasted by Park

Honggursquos woodenware It has the shape that

does not have any unnecessary element It is

no doubt that he knows his material so well

What do you think young crafters anddesigners including you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

I think Korea society is quite chaotic now The

worse thing is that the entire burden from such

situation is loaded on to young generationrsquos

shoulders In the society where landing on a job

they can love and being happy is impossible

choosing craft as their job is even harder I

would like to say that we should think the fact

that we made such a difficult decision as it is

and it is worthy enough to think one should

continue what they have been doing

Please tell me about your work lsquoSoSo( 小昭 )rsquo

SoSo is a set of spoon chopstick and cutlery

rest using traditional techniques from mother-

of-pearl lacquer and gilding Pendant The idea

of Ah Ottrsquo came up while working on the spoon

rest

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Lacquer+blank All of my works is finished with

lacquer in the end

What kinds of processes are needed to produce

one work SoSo for example it takes 3-4 times

of lacquering on cut wood Sometime several

more times of lacquering and grinding are

needed after gluing mother-of-pearl or gold foil in

order to set it Lastly it is finished with polishing

What is the uniqueness of lsquoKang Heejung

Brandrsquo lsquoReservednessrsquo The style that is

traditional but not classical

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers who is active in the field

It is hard to pick just one since there are so

many great designers in Korea Among foreign

designers I love Enzo Mari who is representative

of Italian Modern design and Japanese designer

Nagaoka Genmei

What drives you to continue your work

Thought that there are people who want my

work(product)

Is there an item that you would like to challenge

to create in the future I would like a chance to

design a space full with my works

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I would like to continue making things

It does not have to be a lot but constantly While

showing my own color I would like to be a crafter

who makes up-to-dated objects that people trust

and want to have

Do you have other objects that inspire you

Though the method of numbering each

ceramic tiles in the elements of ceramic

object can sound lsquonot different than otherrsquo and

disadvantageous

Yes I heard that many times People even tell me

to put a stop to it However I would not make a

big effort to change the way of working or break

the habit If the time comes that I get bored or I

wonrsquot be able to do it with some reason I would

follow the natural course I too am curious how

my work is going to be ended The same as two

characters ltWaiting for Godotgt without knowing

who Godot is I just add the tiles I am doing it as

far as I can Wouldnrsquot it be okay if one or two do

something looks stupid

Work by Bae Sejin is more of a sculpture thanceramic Do you consider yourself you are on

the border between them

I do not particularly feel the need of categorize

such thing I am on the border of this side end

and that side Next project that I am planning

will be more ambiguous in terms of the borders

But one thing is sure that I will continue to keep

01 04 Bae Sejinrsquos ltWaiting

for Godotgt

02 03 Bae Sejinrsquos sculptural

and flat object show wide

spectrum of craft

this position because I believe that craft is

something for a man devotes himself and make

it with all his heart

What issue interests you as an artist

First is adding functionality on sculptural object

(it means to make something useful in life)

Second is to reduce the size of the works For

that matter trying to make change in materials

rather than clay

Your experience with fairs abroad as

participants or attendee have influenced you

Biggest influence I get from such experience is

being motivated One thing that you constantly

have in your mind is lsquoif you are doing rightrsquo

When many people like your work in exhibitions

abroad and that leads to sales channel it can

be great motivation for your art

LEE ZEESOO

Lee Zeesoo has created lsquoFliessenrsquo series since six years ago Fliessen is a

German word for lsquoflowrsquo While it refers to flowing pattern that two or more

colors are mixed but it also denotes psychological state in which one is

lsquoimmersed into something enough to forget time flowsrsquo Her traditional

porcelain is contemporary expression of her passion energy and juissance that

spring up when she immerses into her work

What kind of work have you created

I have created objects for a long time But I

started to add functionality in my works that is

entitled lsquoArt Deco Warersquo Cups dishes bowls

etc I am communicating with people through

art porcelain goods that emphasizes both

aestheticity and functionality

Which material do you prefer to use And Why

I normally use white clay White clay is most

effective and appropriate material that can bring

out the essential beauty of Korean traditional craft

The material also allows me to accentuate stylistic

finishing at the same time There I add colored

clay and liquid gold to create various flows which

is the concept in the lsquoFliessenrsquo series

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or potters As I continue the concept

of lsquoFliessenrsquo through the brand called lsquoceramic

by leezeesoorsquo I was able to present variety of

patterns every year Harmony of aestheticity and

visualizing both contemporary and traditional

sensibility with white clay may be counted as the

characteristics of my work

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers I admire Lee Youngjae

who lives in Germany When I was having hard

time to choose which school I should go in

Germany to study pottery I ran into him on a

street Then he advised me to go Giebichenstein

01 Gold and blue porcelain one of the lsquoFliessenrsquo series Tall cup

which is called lsquoSolid and Voidrsquo is presented as 2013 KCDF lsquoCraft

Gobang is where you can purchase Lee Zeesoorsquos work

Kunsthochschule Halle Also the works by the

late Lee Ungno inspire me

Besides this do you have any other objects

that inspire you I am particularly impressed by

paintings depicting group of people among the

late Lee Ungnorsquos oeuvre Nature bird sounds

architecture etc there are too many to pick just

one

It is no doubt that his cups will be appreciated by gentlemen rather than by

the hands of usual ladies His cups are intriguing though different from usual

designs he does not either throw on the wheel or cast but make them with

slab of clay so they look like he rolled cardboards He always goes beyond

conventional methods including experimenting with combination of clay and

metal and polishing surface of ceramic instead of glazing This couldnrsquot help

to make you wonder lsquowhat is the nextrsquo

Your brand name lsquoDeep Cobaltrsquo sounds unique

What is the meaning behind it

I ran in to the phrase while reading a novel when

I was young I liked its abstract association with

lsquothe color of a deep oceanrsquo

You chose handbuilding technique with slab of

clay instead of wheel throwing or casting What

are the merits and demerits

Wheel throwing and casting technique require

postproduction process even after building

shapes and drying the clay On one hand

handbuilding method allows me to finish the

making process at the building shapes stage

without additional process It also allows me to

create the shape my porcelains a fun look of

paper On the other hand it has low success

rate and takes longer time because it requires

polishing process after second firing

Another unusual fact of the Deep Cobalt is that

it uses clay called Black Mountain instead of

normal porcelain clay What is the reason for it

First of all it is because of the color of the clay I

learned about it while I was looking for clay that

has rougher texture and color There are clays

with rough texture but no such color It fitted very

well for my work that uses minimum amount of

glaze and emphasizing natural characteristics of

clay Using heat wire (in order not to be rusted

while fired on 1200 degree) or gluing leather is

the influence from the experience of ceramic

object work I did before I started ceramic craft

Maybe that is the reason

Would you make self-assessment of the fact

why Deep Cobalt has drawn attention among

active crafters

I would say people tend to be amazed by them

rather than loving them They look different than

other craftersrsquo Would it be the reason My work

looks like rather a tin can than ceramic pot The

basic principle is being persistent attempting to

make new design I kept in mind that the cups

are drinking tool The cup is the outcome of the

design that I approached from this perspective

Which design do you think is lsquothe best of the

01 04 He flattens slab of clay and builds the shape by

rolling them like a sheet of paper

02 He recently added leather on his heat wire handle

03 Mug cups and strainer that reveals natural

characteristics of clay called lsquoBlack Mountainrsquo

best craft or deignrsquo Freitag bags Not only the

design is excellent but also the concept behind

deserves the status It recycles used seat belt

bicycle tube truck taps etc It is quite interesting

to know people still love them even though each

bag looks different from each other because it is

recycling used materials

Including artist Hyun Sanghwa what do you

think the young artists lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

If you have idea of a work you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

without hesitant

its function and characteristics of the material He

also does not hide changes that take place during

manufacturing process because his motto is all should

be able to understand and appreciate designer

furniture by its simplicity and straightforwardness

notion of that they are difficult and complex

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Also I would like to work on Korean restaurant

that I would pour my whole energy and ability on

its furniture interior tableware etc

Ten years from now what kind of crafter or

designer you want to be considered

An artist who knows his material well

Who do you highly esteem among crafters or

designers

furniture design and the architect Ando Tadao

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

Sacred artifacts are expression of belief from a

community of church as well as criterion that

shows level of development of the church Sacred

artifacts including crosses are used in various

ways within Christianity Catholics in particular

holy images cross rosary vessel for holy water

icon etc are used to help spiritual exercise on

personal level and this makes one person to keep

quite large number of sacred artifacts Crosses

were once used to hang prisoners in ancient EastHowever after Jesus Christ sacrificed himself

on the cross for the redemption of human sins

on behalf of all humanity cross has become the

theological symbol for his lsquohardship and deathrsquo

lsquosacrifice and loversquo lsquoimmortality and salvationrsquo

The forms of cross vary more than you think For

me vertical line means the relation between the

God and me while horizontal line does relation

between me and people who live together the

same period of time As one of those who barely

manage day-to-day hardship by the force of life

cross becomes the energy source to survive the

present and the reason for another day I start

my day making an eye contact with it The silver

cross for holding made by Cho Sungho is a very

special one among the sacred artifacts that I have

We all are influenced by objects around us in daily

lives lsquoSincerityrsquo toward religion always conveys

the scent of artistic aura and the art that pursues

sincere beauty always allow us to experience

religious transcendence What enables my lifetoday is this belief that there always exists utmost

beauty wherever art crosses religion

What kind of work you have been working on

In college years I was interested in experimenting

various materials and approaches Feeling being

more curious about materials pursuing graduate

level education seemed natural to me as next

step There I was introduced environmental

issues and started making pertinent objects

First piece that I made was lunch box Though

pet bottle that is considered as disposable it is

recyclable So I made light weighted lunch box

with it Taking it as starting point I have been

making kitchenware and baskets that are closed

to our daily lives with my own methods

Where do you get your inspiration

Nothing particular Architectures factory goods

or various materials from media have been onesOften times things just came in to my mind while

making or using objects Open-fold fruit bowl

for example I kept thinking to make a bowl that

I can open and fold and the idea came when I

looked at the shape of flower and I developed

from it

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or crafters I do not hung up with the

idea of being unique Originality of an object is

not something that its maker can judge I just

want to make good things and try to fully express

what I think

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I want to be someone who enriches

the living of people or someone who deeply

concerned with authentic happiness

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers My advisor Professor

Koh Bohyung

What do you think young crafters and designers

including you should do for the development

of craft and design of the country If you are a

young crafter or designer I think it is important

have faith in yourself and act by it Artist shouldhave faith and be able to express his own voice

to the world

Where the readers can purchase your work You

might want to visit Jung Soyoungrsquos Sikijang in

If you sum up your art and its characteristicsinto one sentence Tableware design that

combines practicality and estheticism

Tell us briefly about the technique you use and

the making process of your work I have mostly

worked on white porcelain tableware Majority of

them were made with wheel throwing technique

Slip casting is also used when I wanted more

unique design Sometime I use different glaze for

inside from out side As I am working more on

tableware I get the chance to use it for myself

putting my food in them and make corrections

on the design if needed

Silver finishing is used for some of the works Is

there special reason for that I went to a special

talk addressed by a Japanese artist when I was

in grad school He used silver foils on small

part of his work and that got interested me to try

some experiments using silver Silver gives you

feeling if it is alive because it gradually changes

its color as it gets oxidized So I have continued

using silver as finishing material since 2007

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Heejong Brandrdquo

lsquoContaining stories in the designrsquo might be it

When I design an item I think of wonderful

memories in the past or present to apply in it

You are running a shop And that is rare for

artists What good is in running your own shop

I have worked considering that fairs are

equivalent to exhibitions And I value the time

I communicate with audience at the field

However fairs are only stayed open up to 5days making the time with audience too short

I also have been thinking it costs a lot to be in

a fair and find it hectic packing and unpacking

freights Then I opened a shop at Sagimakgol

Icheon Gyeonggi Province It was located in

the middle of wholesale district where in which

number of young artists and retail customers

are growing My wife who majored ceramic art is

running the shop She is most helpful because

she understands my art more than anyone else

and she pays attention to the responses from the

customers

What is future plan for your art Things that

I would like to try are endless when you are

working on tableware As various as foods are I

would like to make all kind of tableware I can see

myself focusing on tableware for a while There is

one thing that I really want to try to do It is my

dream to go to a quiet place later and build a kiln

firing with logs for ceramics without glaze Firing

with logs and using ashes f or coloring ceramics

is really interesting

Is there an artist who influenced on your work I

should be careful but my teachers are not either

books or senior artists It is customers I try to

make things that my customers want If one

does not figure out what his customers want or

cannot read the trend good craft design cannot

be made If basic principle of craft is to make

something for daily use it must be right to make

what people want with my own taste

MOON YOOJIN

lsquoBachirsquo is pure Korean word for lsquocraftsmanrsquo It refers to a person who devotes

to hisher life to being authentic professional despite they used to belong to

lowest class Moon Yoojin decided to succeed such spirit even considering it as

calling and fortune She has faith as a person who started life as crafter to do

knotting and lacquer after leaving her life as a designer which she spent half of

her life She believes that if one accumulates one more knot and one more layer

of lacquer one lsquogood thingrsquo can come out of it the same as Jo Hoonhyun the

famous go player continued one move after another and became a master

Please explain your work lsquothe Knots Bagrsquo

It is a second bag inspired by our forefathersrsquo

craft called gat Its string was the only means formen to accessorize I wanted to link the virtue

of the string to contemporary living with subtlety

and grace to come up with the second bag This

bag looks like a gat if you put it upside down

(It also reminds us of donut too so it would be

okay to call it lsquodonut bagrsquo Polyester is mostly

used to make these because if you use natural

fabric the signature pleats are gone

It seems that name of the brand lsquoBachirsquo holds

your design philosophy as a whole It is the

name of the brand and the name of my company

also Bachi refers to a person who devotes his

life to make only one thing The word can be

combined with name of the thing that bachi

make Letrsquos say someone is called gatbachi

it refers to someone who makes things with

gat(leather) and matchstick bachi means not

someone who sells matchstick but makes and

sells them They were creators literally I wanted

to succeed in the mind of theirs

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Contemporary application of tradition

Why do you favor knotting technique

If you make a mistake while applying lacquer

you can either apply one more layer or find

another way of correcting it However if you

make a mistake during knotting you cannot

ever get the result that you intended It is why

knotting is both difficult and attractive One of

the reasons that make knotting craftsmen so

great is they memorize all the techniques by

heart But it makes hard to disseminate I felt

bad this traditional knotting continued only to

be in the state of home decoration Through

lsquoapplicationrsquo processes I wanted such traditionbe penetrated in to the lives of ours I developed

ideas that make knots equipped with functions

instead being considered as additional element

old school ornament Its result is lsquothe knots bagrsquo

you see here

How do you envision your life as crafter

in ten years I hope I am a craft designer

acknowledged for my editions and I would like to

publish a monograph

them with your bare hand when you

look closely

Many attach expression of lsquofun furniturersquo on your

work If you sum up your art into one sentence

what would that be

Design that combines curiosity and imagination

Designer Kim Juilrsquos work can be described

as something literally crosses over craft and

design After the detailed design you add labor

element by hand donrsquot you

Thatrsquos right It is literally lsquocraft+designrsquo I consider

the basic way of thinking and story behind craft

and design are same They only have different

ways of expression My work also combines

industrial technique and fabrication process

of craft But I would not particularly want to

separate them either

Eco-friendliness has become the issue needsto be resolved in design and craft field Do you

have anything in your work that implements

such issue I am incorporating lsquocirculation

structurersquo in the principle of design If possible I

choose sturdy and recyclable material and eco-

friendly elements are always included in the

foundation of my design

adjust its height 02 lsquoEco Driversquo

05 lsquov-tworsquo This V shaped sofa

you can pull out from both side

Including Craft Trend Fair I have participated

in many other fairs related to craft and design

Salone Satellite that I have participated with the

students from Hanseo University left me with

deep impression among them It meant a lot

because we were officially invited through one

year of preparation We received remarks like we

are lsquobuilding forms and style through designrsquo

We took the theme lsquocrossing point of East and

West Fish hung on the ceiling using principle of

expansion and contraction work that animated

each color of yarn by adding light fixture etc

works that accentuated craftwork were most

popular among audience members

he has been drawing attention as hot artist in metal craft field with his

tableware He tells us that he thinks of place and person that his works

will be used So his work appears highly refined on one hand and rough

on the other giving us a joy of looking as well as using

How did you start metal craft What was the

motivation My father has been in jewelry craft

industry over 30 years I had chance to look at him

working and gradually got interested in this field

Looking closely at daily nicknacks drawing ideas

being curious about hands on processes and

enjoying to make them led me to the work today

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Hyunsung Brandrdquo

I would like to say that it is effectiveness in

function practicality simplicity and friendliness of

design

Is there an artist who influenced you And Why

Sculptor Brancusi influenced me a lot He got

rid of all the unnecessary details and his way of

condensing all the energies inside is quite inspiringIndustrial designer Dieter Rams as well as metal

crafter Koh Bohyung and Shim Hyunseok come

to my mind These two craftsmen taught me not

only through the their work but also through the

way of living and way of looking at things

Sikijang exhibition ltThe coffee

makers+gt (20141126~1220 Arumjigi

02 03 His studio view

04 Bronze dripper

What is most important aspect in creating

works I purposely avoid make things in perfect

and stylish form Most responses that I get

are they look a bit clumsy I make an effort to

find shapes that are imperfect or clumsy form

purposely This is to provoke the viewers to

question to a certain extend themselves about

forms I feel happiest when the void I created

leads to the conversation with the viewers

What is the best lsquomasterpiecersquo in craft or

design that you ever encountered

Not long ago I was flabbergasted by Park

Honggursquos woodenware It has the shape that

does not have any unnecessary element It is

no doubt that he knows his material so well

What do you think young crafters anddesigners including you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

I think Korea society is quite chaotic now The

worse thing is that the entire burden from such

situation is loaded on to young generationrsquos

shoulders In the society where landing on a job

they can love and being happy is impossible

choosing craft as their job is even harder I

would like to say that we should think the fact

that we made such a difficult decision as it is

and it is worthy enough to think one should

continue what they have been doing

Please tell me about your work lsquoSoSo( 小昭 )rsquo

SoSo is a set of spoon chopstick and cutlery

rest using traditional techniques from mother-

of-pearl lacquer and gilding Pendant The idea

of Ah Ottrsquo came up while working on the spoon

rest

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Lacquer+blank All of my works is finished with

lacquer in the end

What kinds of processes are needed to produce

one work SoSo for example it takes 3-4 times

of lacquering on cut wood Sometime several

more times of lacquering and grinding are

needed after gluing mother-of-pearl or gold foil in

order to set it Lastly it is finished with polishing

What is the uniqueness of lsquoKang Heejung

Brandrsquo lsquoReservednessrsquo The style that is

traditional but not classical

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers who is active in the field

It is hard to pick just one since there are so

many great designers in Korea Among foreign

designers I love Enzo Mari who is representative

of Italian Modern design and Japanese designer

Nagaoka Genmei

What drives you to continue your work

Thought that there are people who want my

work(product)

Is there an item that you would like to challenge

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I would like to continue making things

It does not have to be a lot but constantly While

Though the method of numbering each

ceramic tiles in the elements of ceramic

object can sound lsquonot different than otherrsquo and

disadvantageous

Yes I heard that many times People even tell me

to put a stop to it However I would not make a

big effort to change the way of working or break

the habit If the time comes that I get bored or I

wonrsquot be able to do it with some reason I would

follow the natural course I too am curious how

my work is going to be ended The same as two

characters ltWaiting for Godotgt without knowing

who Godot is I just add the tiles I am doing it as

far as I can Wouldnrsquot it be okay if one or two do

something looks stupid

Work by Bae Sejin is more of a sculpture thanceramic Do you consider yourself you are on

the border between them

I do not particularly feel the need of categorize

such thing I am on the border of this side end

and that side Next project that I am planning

will be more ambiguous in terms of the borders

But one thing is sure that I will continue to keep

01 04 Bae Sejinrsquos ltWaiting

for Godotgt

02 03 Bae Sejinrsquos sculptural

and flat object show wide

spectrum of craft

this position because I believe that craft is

something for a man devotes himself and make

it with all his heart

What issue interests you as an artist

First is adding functionality on sculptural object

(it means to make something useful in life)

Second is to reduce the size of the works For

that matter trying to make change in materials

rather than clay

Your experience with fairs abroad as

participants or attendee have influenced you

Biggest influence I get from such experience is

being motivated One thing that you constantly

have in your mind is lsquoif you are doing rightrsquo

When many people like your work in exhibitions

abroad and that leads to sales channel it can

be great motivation for your art

What kind of work have you created

I have created objects for a long time But I

started to add functionality in my works that is

entitled lsquoArt Deco Warersquo Cups dishes bowls

etc I am communicating with people through

art porcelain goods that emphasizes both

aestheticity and functionality

Which material do you prefer to use And Why

I normally use white clay White clay is most

effective and appropriate material that can bring

out the essential beauty of Korean traditional craft

The material also allows me to accentuate stylistic

finishing at the same time There I add colored

clay and liquid gold to create various flows which

is the concept in the lsquoFliessenrsquo series

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or potters As I continue the concept

of lsquoFliessenrsquo through the brand called lsquoceramic

by leezeesoorsquo I was able to present variety of

patterns every year Harmony of aestheticity and

visualizing both contemporary and traditional

sensibility with white clay may be counted as the

characteristics of my work

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers I admire Lee Youngjae

who lives in Germany When I was having hard

time to choose which school I should go in

Germany to study pottery I ran into him on a

street Then he advised me to go Giebichenstein

It is no doubt that his cups will be appreciated by gentlemen rather than by

the hands of usual ladies His cups are intriguing though different from usual

designs he does not either throw on the wheel or cast but make them with

slab of clay so they look like he rolled cardboards He always goes beyond

conventional methods including experimenting with combination of clay and

metal and polishing surface of ceramic instead of glazing This couldnrsquot help

Your brand name lsquoDeep Cobaltrsquo sounds unique

What is the meaning behind it

I ran in to the phrase while reading a novel when

I was young I liked its abstract association with

lsquothe color of a deep oceanrsquo

You chose handbuilding technique with slab of

clay instead of wheel throwing or casting What

are the merits and demerits

Wheel throwing and casting technique require

postproduction process even after building

shapes and drying the clay On one hand

handbuilding method allows me to finish the

making process at the building shapes stage

without additional process It also allows me to

create the shape my porcelains a fun look of

paper On the other hand it has low success

rate and takes longer time because it requires

polishing process after second firing

Another unusual fact of the Deep Cobalt is that

it uses clay called Black Mountain instead of

normal porcelain clay What is the reason for it

First of all it is because of the color of the clay I

learned about it while I was looking for clay that

has rougher texture and color There are clays

with rough texture but no such color It fitted very

well for my work that uses minimum amount of

glaze and emphasizing natural characteristics of

clay Using heat wire (in order not to be rusted

while fired on 1200 degree) or gluing leather is

the influence from the experience of ceramic

object work I did before I started ceramic craft

Maybe that is the reason

Would you make self-assessment of the fact

why Deep Cobalt has drawn attention among

active crafters

I would say people tend to be amazed by them

rather than loving them They look different than

other craftersrsquo Would it be the reason My work

looks like rather a tin can than ceramic pot The

basic principle is being persistent attempting to

make new design I kept in mind that the cups

are drinking tool The cup is the outcome of the

design that I approached from this perspective

Which design do you think is lsquothe best of the

01 04 He flattens slab of clay and builds the shape by

rolling them like a sheet of paper

02 He recently added leather on his heat wire handle

03 Mug cups and strainer that reveals natural

characteristics of clay called lsquoBlack Mountainrsquo

best craft or deignrsquo Freitag bags Not only the

design is excellent but also the concept behind

deserves the status It recycles used seat belt

bicycle tube truck taps etc It is quite interesting

to know people still love them even though each

bag looks different from each other because it is

recycling used materials

Including artist Hyun Sanghwa what do you

think the young artists lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

If you have idea of a work you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

without hesitant

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Also I would like to work on Korean restaurant

that I would pour my whole energy and ability on

its furniture interior tableware etc

Ten years from now what kind of crafter or

designer you want to be considered

An artist who knows his material well

Who do you highly esteem among crafters or

designers

Furniture designer Ha Jihoon who led me to

furniture design and the architect Ando Tadao

Where the readers can purchase your work

Currently my furniture are sold at KCDF Gallery

Shop in Insadong and Dongdaemoon Design

ltConstancy amp

Traditional Craftgt

ltTexturegt

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

Beside main exhibitions and KCDF special exhibition section

there were excellent complementing booths organized by

various craft brands and galleries Their participation made the

fair more interesting and exciting because we would never be

able to learn about them or they were hard to find were it not

for this fair Craft Studios Section offered works by the artists

selected through fierce competitions It is no doubt that these

crafters also had chances to meet audience and learn their

responses After all a craft is something to be completed when

they meet each other

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

Boy-rice) etchellip they are the sosengs that we are planning

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

What kind of work you have been working on

In college years I was interested in experimenting

various materials and approaches Feeling being

more curious about materials pursuing graduate

level education seemed natural to me as next

step There I was introduced environmental

issues and started making pertinent objects

First piece that I made was lunch box Though

pet bottle that is considered as disposable it is

recyclable So I made light weighted lunch box

with it Taking it as starting point I have been

making kitchenware and baskets that are closed

to our daily lives with my own methods

Where do you get your inspiration

Nothing particular Architectures factory goods

or various materials from media have been onesOften times things just came in to my mind while

making or using objects Open-fold fruit bowl

for example I kept thinking to make a bowl that

I can open and fold and the idea came when I

looked at the shape of flower and I developed

from it

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or crafters I do not hung up with the

idea of being unique Originality of an object is

not something that its maker can judge I just

want to make good things and try to fully express

what I think

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I want to be someone who enriches

the living of people or someone who deeply

concerned with authentic happiness

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers My advisor Professor

Koh Bohyung

What do you think young crafters and designers

including you should do for the development

of craft and design of the country If you are a

young crafter or designer I think it is important

have faith in yourself and act by it Artist shouldhave faith and be able to express his own voice

to the world

Where the readers can purchase your work You

If you sum up your art and its characteristicsinto one sentence Tableware design that

combines practicality and estheticism

Tell us briefly about the technique you use and

the making process of your work I have mostly

worked on white porcelain tableware Majority of

them were made with wheel throwing technique

Slip casting is also used when I wanted more

unique design Sometime I use different glaze for

inside from out side As I am working more on

tableware I get the chance to use it for myself

putting my food in them and make corrections

on the design if needed

Silver finishing is used for some of the works Is

there special reason for that I went to a special

talk addressed by a Japanese artist when I was

in grad school He used silver foils on small

part of his work and that got interested me to try

some experiments using silver Silver gives you

feeling if it is alive because it gradually changes

its color as it gets oxidized So I have continued

using silver as finishing material since 2007

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Heejong Brandrdquo

lsquoContaining stories in the designrsquo might be it

When I design an item I think of wonderful

memories in the past or present to apply in it

You are running a shop And that is rare for

artists What good is in running your own shop

I have worked considering that fairs are

equivalent to exhibitions And I value the time

I communicate with audience at the field

However fairs are only stayed open up to 5days making the time with audience too short

I also have been thinking it costs a lot to be in

a fair and find it hectic packing and unpacking

freights Then I opened a shop at Sagimakgol

Icheon Gyeonggi Province It was located in

the middle of wholesale district where in which

number of young artists and retail customers

are growing My wife who majored ceramic art is

running the shop She is most helpful because

she understands my art more than anyone else

and she pays attention to the responses from the

customers

What is future plan for your art Things that

I would like to try are endless when you are

working on tableware As various as foods are I

would like to make all kind of tableware I can see

myself focusing on tableware for a while There is

one thing that I really want to try to do It is my

dream to go to a quiet place later and build a kiln

firing with logs for ceramics without glaze Firing

with logs and using ashes f or coloring ceramics

is really interesting

Is there an artist who influenced on your work I

should be careful but my teachers are not either

books or senior artists It is customers I try to

make things that my customers want If one

does not figure out what his customers want or

cannot read the trend good craft design cannot

be made If basic principle of craft is to make

something for daily use it must be right to make

what people want with my own taste

lowest class Moon Yoojin decided to succeed such spirit even considering it as

calling and fortune She has faith as a person who started life as crafter to do

knotting and lacquer after leaving her life as a designer which she spent half of

her life She believes that if one accumulates one more knot and one more layer

of lacquer one lsquogood thingrsquo can come out of it the same as Jo Hoonhyun the

Please explain your work lsquothe Knots Bagrsquo

It is a second bag inspired by our forefathersrsquo

craft called gat Its string was the only means formen to accessorize I wanted to link the virtue

of the string to contemporary living with subtlety

and grace to come up with the second bag This

bag looks like a gat if you put it upside down

(It also reminds us of donut too so it would be

okay to call it lsquodonut bagrsquo Polyester is mostly

used to make these because if you use natural

fabric the signature pleats are gone

It seems that name of the brand lsquoBachirsquo holds

your design philosophy as a whole It is the

name of the brand and the name of my company

also Bachi refers to a person who devotes his

life to make only one thing The word can be

combined with name of the thing that bachi

make Letrsquos say someone is called gatbachi

it refers to someone who makes things with

gat(leather) and matchstick bachi means not

someone who sells matchstick but makes and

sells them They were creators literally I wanted

to succeed in the mind of theirs

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Contemporary application of tradition

Why do you favor knotting technique

If you make a mistake while applying lacquer

you can either apply one more layer or find

another way of correcting it However if you

make a mistake during knotting you cannot

ever get the result that you intended It is why

knotting is both difficult and attractive One of

the reasons that make knotting craftsmen so

great is they memorize all the techniques by

heart But it makes hard to disseminate I felt

bad this traditional knotting continued only to

be in the state of home decoration Through

lsquoapplicationrsquo processes I wanted such traditionbe penetrated in to the lives of ours I developed

ideas that make knots equipped with functions

instead being considered as additional element

old school ornament Its result is lsquothe knots bagrsquo

you see here

How do you envision your life as crafter

in ten years I hope I am a craft designer

acknowledged for my editions and I would like to

publish a monograph

Many attach expression of lsquofun furniturersquo on your

work If you sum up your art into one sentence

what would that be

Design that combines curiosity and imagination

Designer Kim Juilrsquos work can be described

as something literally crosses over craft and

design After the detailed design you add labor

element by hand donrsquot you

Thatrsquos right It is literally lsquocraft+designrsquo I consider

the basic way of thinking and story behind craft

and design are same They only have different

ways of expression My work also combines

industrial technique and fabrication process

of craft But I would not particularly want to

separate them either

Eco-friendliness has become the issue needsto be resolved in design and craft field Do you

have anything in your work that implements

such issue I am incorporating lsquocirculation

structurersquo in the principle of design If possible I

choose sturdy and recyclable material and eco-

friendly elements are always included in the

foundation of my design

Including Craft Trend Fair I have participated

in many other fairs related to craft and design

Salone Satellite that I have participated with the

students from Hanseo University left me with

deep impression among them It meant a lot

because we were officially invited through one

year of preparation We received remarks like we

are lsquobuilding forms and style through designrsquo

We took the theme lsquocrossing point of East and

works that accentuated craftwork were most

How did you start metal craft What was the

motivation My father has been in jewelry craft

industry over 30 years I had chance to look at him

working and gradually got interested in this field

Looking closely at daily nicknacks drawing ideas

being curious about hands on processes and

enjoying to make them led me to the work today

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Hyunsung Brandrdquo

I would like to say that it is effectiveness in

function practicality simplicity and friendliness of

design

Is there an artist who influenced you And Why

Sculptor Brancusi influenced me a lot He got

rid of all the unnecessary details and his way of

condensing all the energies inside is quite inspiringIndustrial designer Dieter Rams as well as metal

crafter Koh Bohyung and Shim Hyunseok come

to my mind These two craftsmen taught me not

only through the their work but also through the

way of living and way of looking at things

Sikijang exhibition ltThe coffee

02 03 His studio view

04 Bronze dripper

What is most important aspect in creating

works I purposely avoid make things in perfect

and stylish form Most responses that I get

are they look a bit clumsy I make an effort to

find shapes that are imperfect or clumsy form

purposely This is to provoke the viewers to

question to a certain extend themselves about

forms I feel happiest when the void I created

leads to the conversation with the viewers

What is the best lsquomasterpiecersquo in craft or

design that you ever encountered

Not long ago I was flabbergasted by Park

Honggursquos woodenware It has the shape that

does not have any unnecessary element It is

no doubt that he knows his material so well

What do you think young crafters anddesigners including you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

I think Korea society is quite chaotic now The

worse thing is that the entire burden from such

situation is loaded on to young generationrsquos

shoulders In the society where landing on a job

they can love and being happy is impossible

choosing craft as their job is even harder I

would like to say that we should think the fact

that we made such a difficult decision as it is

and it is worthy enough to think one should

continue what they have been doing

Please tell me about your work lsquoSoSo( 小昭 )rsquo

SoSo is a set of spoon chopstick and cutlery

rest using traditional techniques from mother-

of-pearl lacquer and gilding Pendant The idea

of Ah Ottrsquo came up while working on the spoon

rest

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Lacquer+blank All of my works is finished with

lacquer in the end

What kinds of processes are needed to produce

one work SoSo for example it takes 3-4 times

of lacquering on cut wood Sometime several

more times of lacquering and grinding are

needed after gluing mother-of-pearl or gold foil in

order to set it Lastly it is finished with polishing

What is the uniqueness of lsquoKang Heejung

Brandrsquo lsquoReservednessrsquo The style that is

traditional but not classical

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers who is active in the field

It is hard to pick just one since there are so

many great designers in Korea Among foreign

designers I love Enzo Mari who is representative

of Italian Modern design and Japanese designer

Nagaoka Genmei

What drives you to continue your work

Thought that there are people who want my

work(product)

Is there an item that you would like to challenge

to create in the future I would like a chance to

design a space full with my works

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I would like to continue making things

It does not have to be a lot but constantly While

showing my own color I would like to be a crafter

who makes up-to-dated objects that people trust

Though the method of numbering each

ceramic tiles in the elements of ceramic

object can sound lsquonot different than otherrsquo and

disadvantageous

Yes I heard that many times People even tell me

to put a stop to it However I would not make a

big effort to change the way of working or break

the habit If the time comes that I get bored or I

wonrsquot be able to do it with some reason I would

follow the natural course I too am curious how

my work is going to be ended The same as two

characters ltWaiting for Godotgt without knowing

who Godot is I just add the tiles I am doing it as

far as I can Wouldnrsquot it be okay if one or two do

something looks stupid

Work by Bae Sejin is more of a sculpture thanceramic Do you consider yourself you are on

the border between them

I do not particularly feel the need of categorize

such thing I am on the border of this side end

and that side Next project that I am planning

will be more ambiguous in terms of the borders

But one thing is sure that I will continue to keep

01 04 Bae Sejinrsquos ltWaiting

for Godotgt

02 03 Bae Sejinrsquos sculptural

and flat object show wide

spectrum of craft

this position because I believe that craft is

something for a man devotes himself and make

it with all his heart

What issue interests you as an artist

First is adding functionality on sculptural object

(it means to make something useful in life)

Second is to reduce the size of the works For

that matter trying to make change in materials

rather than clay

Your experience with fairs abroad as

participants or attendee have influenced you

Biggest influence I get from such experience is

being motivated One thing that you constantly

have in your mind is lsquoif you are doing rightrsquo

When many people like your work in exhibitions

abroad and that leads to sales channel it can

be great motivation for your art

LEE ZEESOO

Lee Zeesoo has created lsquoFliessenrsquo series since six years ago Fliessen is a

German word for lsquoflowrsquo While it refers to flowing pattern that two or more

colors are mixed but it also denotes psychological state in which one is

lsquoimmersed into something enough to forget time flowsrsquo Her traditional

porcelain is contemporary expression of her passion energy and juissance that

spring up when she immerses into her work

What kind of work have you created

I have created objects for a long time But I

started to add functionality in my works that is

entitled lsquoArt Deco Warersquo Cups dishes bowls

etc I am communicating with people through

art porcelain goods that emphasizes both

aestheticity and functionality

Which material do you prefer to use And Why

I normally use white clay White clay is most

effective and appropriate material that can bring

out the essential beauty of Korean traditional craft

The material also allows me to accentuate stylistic

finishing at the same time There I add colored

clay and liquid gold to create various flows which

is the concept in the lsquoFliessenrsquo series

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or potters As I continue the concept

of lsquoFliessenrsquo through the brand called lsquoceramic

by leezeesoorsquo I was able to present variety of

patterns every year Harmony of aestheticity and

visualizing both contemporary and traditional

sensibility with white clay may be counted as the

characteristics of my work

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers I admire Lee Youngjae

who lives in Germany When I was having hard

time to choose which school I should go in

Germany to study pottery I ran into him on a

street Then he advised me to go Giebichenstein

01 Gold and blue porcelain one of the lsquoFliessenrsquo series Tall cup

which is called lsquoSolid and Voidrsquo is presented as 2013 KCDF lsquoCraft

Gobang is where you can purchase Lee Zeesoorsquos work

Kunsthochschule Halle Also the works by the

late Lee Ungno inspire me

Besides this do you have any other objects

that inspire you I am particularly impressed by

paintings depicting group of people among the

late Lee Ungnorsquos oeuvre Nature bird sounds

architecture etc there are too many to pick just

one

It is no doubt that his cups will be appreciated by gentlemen rather than by

the hands of usual ladies His cups are intriguing though different from usual

designs he does not either throw on the wheel or cast but make them with

slab of clay so they look like he rolled cardboards He always goes beyond

conventional methods including experimenting with combination of clay and

metal and polishing surface of ceramic instead of glazing This couldnrsquot help

to make you wonder lsquowhat is the nextrsquo

Your brand name lsquoDeep Cobaltrsquo sounds unique

What is the meaning behind it

I ran in to the phrase while reading a novel when

I was young I liked its abstract association with

lsquothe color of a deep oceanrsquo

You chose handbuilding technique with slab of

clay instead of wheel throwing or casting What

are the merits and demerits

Wheel throwing and casting technique require

postproduction process even after building

shapes and drying the clay On one hand

handbuilding method allows me to finish the

making process at the building shapes stage

without additional process It also allows me to

create the shape my porcelains a fun look of

paper On the other hand it has low success

rate and takes longer time because it requires

polishing process after second firing

Another unusual fact of the Deep Cobalt is that

it uses clay called Black Mountain instead of

normal porcelain clay What is the reason for it

First of all it is because of the color of the clay I

learned about it while I was looking for clay that

has rougher texture and color There are clays

with rough texture but no such color It fitted very

well for my work that uses minimum amount of

glaze and emphasizing natural characteristics of

clay Using heat wire (in order not to be rusted

while fired on 1200 degree) or gluing leather is

the influence from the experience of ceramic

object work I did before I started ceramic craft

Maybe that is the reason

Would you make self-assessment of the fact

why Deep Cobalt has drawn attention among

active crafters

I would say people tend to be amazed by them

rather than loving them They look different than

other craftersrsquo Would it be the reason My work

looks like rather a tin can than ceramic pot The

basic principle is being persistent attempting to

make new design I kept in mind that the cups

are drinking tool The cup is the outcome of the

design that I approached from this perspective

Which design do you think is lsquothe best of the

01 04 He flattens slab of clay and builds the shape by

rolling them like a sheet of paper

02 He recently added leather on his heat wire handle

03 Mug cups and strainer that reveals natural

characteristics of clay called lsquoBlack Mountainrsquo

best craft or deignrsquo Freitag bags Not only the

design is excellent but also the concept behind

deserves the status It recycles used seat belt

bicycle tube truck taps etc It is quite interesting

to know people still love them even though each

bag looks different from each other because it is

recycling used materials

Including artist Hyun Sanghwa what do you

think the young artists lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

If you have idea of a work you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

without hesitant

its function and characteristics of the material He

also does not hide changes that take place during

manufacturing process because his motto is all should

be able to understand and appreciate designer

furniture by its simplicity and straightforwardness

notion of that they are difficult and complex

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Also I would like to work on Korean restaurant

that I would pour my whole energy and ability on

its furniture interior tableware etc

Ten years from now what kind of crafter or

designer you want to be considered

An artist who knows his material well

Who do you highly esteem among crafters or

designers

furniture design and the architect Ando Tadao

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

What kind of work you have been working on

In college years I was interested in experimenting

various materials and approaches Feeling being

more curious about materials pursuing graduate

level education seemed natural to me as next

step There I was introduced environmental

issues and started making pertinent objects

First piece that I made was lunch box Though

pet bottle that is considered as disposable it is

recyclable So I made light weighted lunch box

with it Taking it as starting point I have been

making kitchenware and baskets that are closed

to our daily lives with my own methods

Where do you get your inspiration

Nothing particular Architectures factory goods

or various materials from media have been onesOften times things just came in to my mind while

making or using objects Open-fold fruit bowl

for example I kept thinking to make a bowl that

I can open and fold and the idea came when I

looked at the shape of flower and I developed

from it

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or crafters I do not hung up with the

idea of being unique Originality of an object is

not something that its maker can judge I just

want to make good things and try to fully express

what I think

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I want to be someone who enriches

the living of people or someone who deeply

concerned with authentic happiness

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers My advisor Professor

Koh Bohyung

What do you think young crafters and designers

including you should do for the development

of craft and design of the country If you are a

young crafter or designer I think it is important

have faith in yourself and act by it Artist shouldhave faith and be able to express his own voice

to the world

Where the readers can purchase your work You

might want to visit Jung Soyoungrsquos Sikijang in

If you sum up your art and its characteristicsinto one sentence Tableware design that

combines practicality and estheticism

Tell us briefly about the technique you use and

the making process of your work I have mostly

worked on white porcelain tableware Majority of

them were made with wheel throwing technique

Slip casting is also used when I wanted more

unique design Sometime I use different glaze for

inside from out side As I am working more on

tableware I get the chance to use it for myself

putting my food in them and make corrections

on the design if needed

Silver finishing is used for some of the works Is

there special reason for that I went to a special

talk addressed by a Japanese artist when I was

in grad school He used silver foils on small

part of his work and that got interested me to try

some experiments using silver Silver gives you

feeling if it is alive because it gradually changes

its color as it gets oxidized So I have continued

using silver as finishing material since 2007

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Heejong Brandrdquo

lsquoContaining stories in the designrsquo might be it

When I design an item I think of wonderful

memories in the past or present to apply in it

You are running a shop And that is rare for

artists What good is in running your own shop

I have worked considering that fairs are

equivalent to exhibitions And I value the time

I communicate with audience at the field

However fairs are only stayed open up to 5days making the time with audience too short

I also have been thinking it costs a lot to be in

a fair and find it hectic packing and unpacking

freights Then I opened a shop at Sagimakgol

Icheon Gyeonggi Province It was located in

the middle of wholesale district where in which

number of young artists and retail customers

are growing My wife who majored ceramic art is

running the shop She is most helpful because

she understands my art more than anyone else

and she pays attention to the responses from the

customers

What is future plan for your art Things that

I would like to try are endless when you are

working on tableware As various as foods are I

would like to make all kind of tableware I can see

myself focusing on tableware for a while There is

one thing that I really want to try to do It is my

dream to go to a quiet place later and build a kiln

firing with logs for ceramics without glaze Firing

with logs and using ashes f or coloring ceramics

is really interesting

Is there an artist who influenced on your work I

should be careful but my teachers are not either

books or senior artists It is customers I try to

make things that my customers want If one

does not figure out what his customers want or

cannot read the trend good craft design cannot

be made If basic principle of craft is to make

something for daily use it must be right to make

what people want with my own taste

lsquoBachirsquo is pure Korean word for lsquocraftsmanrsquo It refers to a person who devotes

to hisher life to being authentic professional despite they used to belong to

lowest class Moon Yoojin decided to succeed such spirit even considering it as

calling and fortune She has faith as a person who started life as crafter to do

knotting and lacquer after leaving her life as a designer which she spent half of

her life She believes that if one accumulates one more knot and one more layer

of lacquer one lsquogood thingrsquo can come out of it the same as Jo Hoonhyun the

famous go player continued one move after another and became a master

Please explain your work lsquothe Knots Bagrsquo

It is a second bag inspired by our forefathersrsquo

craft called gat Its string was the only means formen to accessorize I wanted to link the virtue

of the string to contemporary living with subtlety

and grace to come up with the second bag This

bag looks like a gat if you put it upside down

(It also reminds us of donut too so it would be

okay to call it lsquodonut bagrsquo Polyester is mostly

used to make these because if you use natural

fabric the signature pleats are gone

It seems that name of the brand lsquoBachirsquo holds

your design philosophy as a whole It is the

name of the brand and the name of my company

also Bachi refers to a person who devotes his

life to make only one thing The word can be

combined with name of the thing that bachi

make Letrsquos say someone is called gatbachi

it refers to someone who makes things with

gat(leather) and matchstick bachi means not

someone who sells matchstick but makes and

sells them They were creators literally I wanted

to succeed in the mind of theirs

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Contemporary application of tradition

Why do you favor knotting technique

If you make a mistake while applying lacquer

you can either apply one more layer or find

another way of correcting it However if you

make a mistake during knotting you cannot

ever get the result that you intended It is why

knotting is both difficult and attractive One of

the reasons that make knotting craftsmen so

great is they memorize all the techniques by

heart But it makes hard to disseminate I felt

bad this traditional knotting continued only to

be in the state of home decoration Through

lsquoapplicationrsquo processes I wanted such traditionbe penetrated in to the lives of ours I developed

ideas that make knots equipped with functions

instead being considered as additional element

old school ornament Its result is lsquothe knots bagrsquo

you see here

How do you envision your life as crafter

in ten years I hope I am a craft designer

acknowledged for my editions and I would like to

publish a monograph

Many attach expression of lsquofun furniturersquo on your

work If you sum up your art into one sentence

what would that be

Design that combines curiosity and imagination

Designer Kim Juilrsquos work can be described

as something literally crosses over craft and

design After the detailed design you add labor

element by hand donrsquot you

Thatrsquos right It is literally lsquocraft+designrsquo I consider

the basic way of thinking and story behind craft

and design are same They only have different

ways of expression My work also combines

industrial technique and fabrication process

of craft But I would not particularly want to

separate them either

Eco-friendliness has become the issue needsto be resolved in design and craft field Do you

have anything in your work that implements

such issue I am incorporating lsquocirculation

structurersquo in the principle of design If possible I

choose sturdy and recyclable material and eco-

friendly elements are always included in the

foundation of my design

01 Candle Towerrsquo LED

candleholder that you can

adjust its height 02 lsquoEco Driversquo

case that he presented at Craft

05 lsquov-tworsquo This V shaped sofa

hides a coffee table inside that

you can pull out from both side

Including Craft Trend Fair I have participated

in many other fairs related to craft and design

Salone Satellite that I have participated with the

students from Hanseo University left me with

deep impression among them It meant a lot

because we were officially invited through one

year of preparation We received remarks like we

are lsquobuilding forms and style through designrsquo

We took the theme lsquocrossing point of East and

West Fish hung on the ceiling using principle of

expansion and contraction work that animated

each color of yarn by adding light fixture etc

works that accentuated craftwork were most

popular among audience members

tableware He tells us that he thinks of place and person that his works

will be used So his work appears highly refined on one hand and rough

on the other giving us a joy of looking as well as using

How did you start metal craft What was the

motivation My father has been in jewelry craft

industry over 30 years I had chance to look at him

working and gradually got interested in this field

Looking closely at daily nicknacks drawing ideas

being curious about hands on processes and

enjoying to make them led me to the work today

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Hyunsung Brandrdquo

I would like to say that it is effectiveness in

function practicality simplicity and friendliness of

design

Is there an artist who influenced you And Why

Sculptor Brancusi influenced me a lot He got

rid of all the unnecessary details and his way of

condensing all the energies inside is quite inspiringIndustrial designer Dieter Rams as well as metal

crafter Koh Bohyung and Shim Hyunseok come

to my mind These two craftsmen taught me not

only through the their work but also through the

way of living and way of looking at things

Sikijang exhibition ltThe coffee

makers+gt (20141126~1220 Arumjigi

02 03 His studio view

04 Bronze dripper

What is most important aspect in creating

works I purposely avoid make things in perfect

and stylish form Most responses that I get

are they look a bit clumsy I make an effort to

find shapes that are imperfect or clumsy form

purposely This is to provoke the viewers to

question to a certain extend themselves about

forms I feel happiest when the void I created

leads to the conversation with the viewers

What is the best lsquomasterpiecersquo in craft or

design that you ever encountered

Not long ago I was flabbergasted by Park

Honggursquos woodenware It has the shape that

does not have any unnecessary element It is

no doubt that he knows his material so well

What do you think young crafters anddesigners including you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

I think Korea society is quite chaotic now The

worse thing is that the entire burden from such

situation is loaded on to young generationrsquos

shoulders In the society where landing on a job

they can love and being happy is impossible

choosing craft as their job is even harder I

would like to say that we should think the fact

that we made such a difficult decision as it is

and it is worthy enough to think one should

continue what they have been doing

Please tell me about your work lsquoSoSo( 小昭 )rsquo

SoSo is a set of spoon chopstick and cutlery

rest using traditional techniques from mother-

of-pearl lacquer and gilding Pendant The idea

of Ah Ottrsquo came up while working on the spoon

rest

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Lacquer+blank All of my works is finished with

lacquer in the end

What kinds of processes are needed to produce

one work SoSo for example it takes 3-4 times

of lacquering on cut wood Sometime several

more times of lacquering and grinding are

needed after gluing mother-of-pearl or gold foil in

order to set it Lastly it is finished with polishing

What is the uniqueness of lsquoKang Heejung

Brandrsquo lsquoReservednessrsquo The style that is

traditional but not classical

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers who is active in the field

It is hard to pick just one since there are so

many great designers in Korea Among foreign

designers I love Enzo Mari who is representative

of Italian Modern design and Japanese designer

Nagaoka Genmei

What drives you to continue your work

Thought that there are people who want my

work(product)

Is there an item that you would like to challenge

to create in the future I would like a chance to

design a space full with my works

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I would like to continue making things

It does not have to be a lot but constantly While

showing my own color I would like to be a crafter

who makes up-to-dated objects that people trust

and want to have

Though the method of numbering each

ceramic tiles in the elements of ceramic

object can sound lsquonot different than otherrsquo and

disadvantageous

Yes I heard that many times People even tell me

to put a stop to it However I would not make a

big effort to change the way of working or break

the habit If the time comes that I get bored or I

wonrsquot be able to do it with some reason I would

follow the natural course I too am curious how

my work is going to be ended The same as two

characters ltWaiting for Godotgt without knowing

who Godot is I just add the tiles I am doing it as

far as I can Wouldnrsquot it be okay if one or two do

something looks stupid

Work by Bae Sejin is more of a sculpture thanceramic Do you consider yourself you are on

the border between them

I do not particularly feel the need of categorize

such thing I am on the border of this side end

and that side Next project that I am planning

will be more ambiguous in terms of the borders

But one thing is sure that I will continue to keep

01 04 Bae Sejinrsquos ltWaiting

for Godotgt

02 03 Bae Sejinrsquos sculptural

and flat object show wide

spectrum of craft

this position because I believe that craft is

something for a man devotes himself and make

it with all his heart

What issue interests you as an artist

First is adding functionality on sculptural object

(it means to make something useful in life)

Second is to reduce the size of the works For

that matter trying to make change in materials

rather than clay

Your experience with fairs abroad as

participants or attendee have influenced you

Biggest influence I get from such experience is

being motivated One thing that you constantly

have in your mind is lsquoif you are doing rightrsquo

When many people like your work in exhibitions

abroad and that leads to sales channel it can

be great motivation for your art

What kind of work have you created

I have created objects for a long time But I

started to add functionality in my works that is

entitled lsquoArt Deco Warersquo Cups dishes bowls

etc I am communicating with people through

art porcelain goods that emphasizes both

aestheticity and functionality

Which material do you prefer to use And Why

I normally use white clay White clay is most

effective and appropriate material that can bring

out the essential beauty of Korean traditional craft

The material also allows me to accentuate stylistic

finishing at the same time There I add colored

clay and liquid gold to create various flows which

is the concept in the lsquoFliessenrsquo series

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or potters As I continue the concept

of lsquoFliessenrsquo through the brand called lsquoceramic

by leezeesoorsquo I was able to present variety of

patterns every year Harmony of aestheticity and

visualizing both contemporary and traditional

sensibility with white clay may be counted as the

characteristics of my work

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers I admire Lee Youngjae

who lives in Germany When I was having hard

time to choose which school I should go in

Germany to study pottery I ran into him on a

street Then he advised me to go Giebichenstein

It is no doubt that his cups will be appreciated by gentlemen rather than by

the hands of usual ladies His cups are intriguing though different from usual

designs he does not either throw on the wheel or cast but make them with

slab of clay so they look like he rolled cardboards He always goes beyond

conventional methods including experimenting with combination of clay and

metal and polishing surface of ceramic instead of glazing This couldnrsquot help

Your brand name lsquoDeep Cobaltrsquo sounds unique

What is the meaning behind it

I ran in to the phrase while reading a novel when

I was young I liked its abstract association with

lsquothe color of a deep oceanrsquo

You chose handbuilding technique with slab of

clay instead of wheel throwing or casting What

are the merits and demerits

Wheel throwing and casting technique require

postproduction process even after building

shapes and drying the clay On one hand

handbuilding method allows me to finish the

making process at the building shapes stage

without additional process It also allows me to

create the shape my porcelains a fun look of

paper On the other hand it has low success

rate and takes longer time because it requires

polishing process after second firing

Another unusual fact of the Deep Cobalt is that

it uses clay called Black Mountain instead of

normal porcelain clay What is the reason for it

First of all it is because of the color of the clay I

learned about it while I was looking for clay that

has rougher texture and color There are clays

with rough texture but no such color It fitted very

well for my work that uses minimum amount of

glaze and emphasizing natural characteristics of

clay Using heat wire (in order not to be rusted

while fired on 1200 degree) or gluing leather is

the influence from the experience of ceramic

object work I did before I started ceramic craft

Maybe that is the reason

Would you make self-assessment of the fact

why Deep Cobalt has drawn attention among

active crafters

I would say people tend to be amazed by them

rather than loving them They look different than

other craftersrsquo Would it be the reason My work

looks like rather a tin can than ceramic pot The

basic principle is being persistent attempting to

make new design I kept in mind that the cups

are drinking tool The cup is the outcome of the

design that I approached from this perspective

Which design do you think is lsquothe best of the

01 04 He flattens slab of clay and builds the shape by

rolling them like a sheet of paper

02 He recently added leather on his heat wire handle

03 Mug cups and strainer that reveals natural

characteristics of clay called lsquoBlack Mountainrsquo

best craft or deignrsquo Freitag bags Not only the

design is excellent but also the concept behind

deserves the status It recycles used seat belt

bicycle tube truck taps etc It is quite interesting

to know people still love them even though each

bag looks different from each other because it is

recycling used materials

Including artist Hyun Sanghwa what do you

think the young artists lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

If you have idea of a work you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

without hesitant

Cho Byungju creates furniture with emphasize on

its function and characteristics of the material He

also does not hide changes that take place during

manufacturing process because his motto is all should

be able to understand and appreciate designer

furniture by its simplicity and straightforwardness

unlike the notion of designer furniture often gives out

notion of that they are difficult and complex

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Traditional Craftgt

ltTexturegt

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

able to learn about them or they were hard to find were it not

selected through fierce competitions It is no doubt that these

crafters also had chances to meet audience and learn their

responses After all a craft is something to be completed when

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

Boy-rice) etchellip they are the sosengs that we are planning

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

stories as a city of history without fail and precious relics

were boasting its grace here and there as museum without

roof Moreover the temples under the blanket of snow

What kind of work you have been working on

In college years I was interested in experimenting

various materials and approaches Feeling being

more curious about materials pursuing graduate

level education seemed natural to me as next

step There I was introduced environmental

issues and started making pertinent objects

First piece that I made was lunch box Though

pet bottle that is considered as disposable it is

recyclable So I made light weighted lunch box

with it Taking it as starting point I have been

making kitchenware and baskets that are closed

to our daily lives with my own methods

Where do you get your inspiration

Nothing particular Architectures factory goods

or various materials from media have been onesOften times things just came in to my mind while

making or using objects Open-fold fruit bowl

for example I kept thinking to make a bowl that

I can open and fold and the idea came when I

looked at the shape of flower and I developed

from it

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or crafters I do not hung up with the

idea of being unique Originality of an object is

not something that its maker can judge I just

want to make good things and try to fully express

what I think

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I want to be someone who enriches

the living of people or someone who deeply

concerned with authentic happiness

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers My advisor Professor

Koh Bohyung

What do you think young crafters and designers

including you should do for the development

of craft and design of the country If you are a

young crafter or designer I think it is important

If you sum up your art and its characteristicsinto one sentence Tableware design that

combines practicality and estheticism

Tell us briefly about the technique you use and

the making process of your work I have mostly

worked on white porcelain tableware Majority of

them were made with wheel throwing technique

Slip casting is also used when I wanted more

unique design Sometime I use different glaze for

inside from out side As I am working more on

tableware I get the chance to use it for myself

putting my food in them and make corrections

on the design if needed

Silver finishing is used for some of the works Is

there special reason for that I went to a special

talk addressed by a Japanese artist when I was

in grad school He used silver foils on small

part of his work and that got interested me to try

some experiments using silver Silver gives you

feeling if it is alive because it gradually changes

its color as it gets oxidized So I have continued

using silver as finishing material since 2007

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Heejong Brandrdquo

lsquoContaining stories in the designrsquo might be it

When I design an item I think of wonderful

memories in the past or present to apply in it

You are running a shop And that is rare for

artists What good is in running your own shop

I have worked considering that fairs are

equivalent to exhibitions And I value the time

I communicate with audience at the field

However fairs are only stayed open up to 5days making the time with audience too short

I also have been thinking it costs a lot to be in

a fair and find it hectic packing and unpacking

freights Then I opened a shop at Sagimakgol

Icheon Gyeonggi Province It was located in

the middle of wholesale district where in which

number of young artists and retail customers

are growing My wife who majored ceramic art is

running the shop She is most helpful because

she understands my art more than anyone else

and she pays attention to the responses from the

customers

What is future plan for your art Things that

I would like to try are endless when you are

working on tableware As various as foods are I

would like to make all kind of tableware I can see

myself focusing on tableware for a while There is

one thing that I really want to try to do It is my

dream to go to a quiet place later and build a kiln

firing with logs for ceramics without glaze Firing

with logs and using ashes f or coloring ceramics

is really interesting

Is there an artist who influenced on your work I

should be careful but my teachers are not either

books or senior artists It is customers I try to

make things that my customers want If one

does not figure out what his customers want or

cannot read the trend good craft design cannot

be made If basic principle of craft is to make

something for daily use it must be right to make

what people want with my own taste

lowest class Moon Yoojin decided to succeed such spirit even considering it as

calling and fortune She has faith as a person who started life as crafter to do

knotting and lacquer after leaving her life as a designer which she spent half of

her life She believes that if one accumulates one more knot and one more layer

of lacquer one lsquogood thingrsquo can come out of it the same as Jo Hoonhyun the

Please explain your work lsquothe Knots Bagrsquo

It is a second bag inspired by our forefathersrsquo

craft called gat Its string was the only means formen to accessorize I wanted to link the virtue

of the string to contemporary living with subtlety

and grace to come up with the second bag This

bag looks like a gat if you put it upside down

(It also reminds us of donut too so it would be

okay to call it lsquodonut bagrsquo Polyester is mostly

used to make these because if you use natural

fabric the signature pleats are gone

It seems that name of the brand lsquoBachirsquo holds

your design philosophy as a whole It is the

name of the brand and the name of my company

also Bachi refers to a person who devotes his

life to make only one thing The word can be

combined with name of the thing that bachi

make Letrsquos say someone is called gatbachi

it refers to someone who makes things with

gat(leather) and matchstick bachi means not

someone who sells matchstick but makes and

sells them They were creators literally I wanted

to succeed in the mind of theirs

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Contemporary application of tradition

Why do you favor knotting technique

If you make a mistake while applying lacquer

you can either apply one more layer or find

another way of correcting it However if you

make a mistake during knotting you cannot

ever get the result that you intended It is why

knotting is both difficult and attractive One of

the reasons that make knotting craftsmen so

great is they memorize all the techniques by

heart But it makes hard to disseminate I felt

bad this traditional knotting continued only to

be in the state of home decoration Through

lsquoapplicationrsquo processes I wanted such traditionbe penetrated in to the lives of ours I developed

ideas that make knots equipped with functions

instead being considered as additional element

old school ornament Its result is lsquothe knots bagrsquo

you see here

How do you envision your life as crafter

in ten years I hope I am a craft designer

acknowledged for my editions and I would like to

publish a monograph

Many attach expression of lsquofun furniturersquo on your

work If you sum up your art into one sentence

what would that be

Design that combines curiosity and imagination

Designer Kim Juilrsquos work can be described

as something literally crosses over craft and

design After the detailed design you add labor

element by hand donrsquot you

Thatrsquos right It is literally lsquocraft+designrsquo I consider

the basic way of thinking and story behind craft

and design are same They only have different

ways of expression My work also combines

industrial technique and fabrication process

of craft But I would not particularly want to

separate them either

Eco-friendliness has become the issue needsto be resolved in design and craft field Do you

have anything in your work that implements

such issue I am incorporating lsquocirculation

structurersquo in the principle of design If possible I

choose sturdy and recyclable material and eco-

friendly elements are always included in the

foundation of my design

Including Craft Trend Fair I have participated

in many other fairs related to craft and design

Salone Satellite that I have participated with the

students from Hanseo University left me with

deep impression among them It meant a lot

because we were officially invited through one

year of preparation We received remarks like we

are lsquobuilding forms and style through designrsquo

We took the theme lsquocrossing point of East and

West Fish hung on the ceiling using principle of

expansion and contraction work that animated

each color of yarn by adding light fixture etc

works that accentuated craftwork were most

popular among audience members

How did you start metal craft What was the

motivation My father has been in jewelry craft

industry over 30 years I had chance to look at him

working and gradually got interested in this field

Looking closely at daily nicknacks drawing ideas

being curious about hands on processes and

enjoying to make them led me to the work today

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Hyunsung Brandrdquo

I would like to say that it is effectiveness in

function practicality simplicity and friendliness of

design

Is there an artist who influenced you And Why

Sculptor Brancusi influenced me a lot He got

rid of all the unnecessary details and his way of

condensing all the energies inside is quite inspiringIndustrial designer Dieter Rams as well as metal

crafter Koh Bohyung and Shim Hyunseok come

to my mind These two craftsmen taught me not

only through the their work but also through the

way of living and way of looking at things

Sikijang exhibition ltThe coffee

makers+gt (20141126~1220 Arumjigi

02 03 His studio view

04 Bronze dripper

What is most important aspect in creating

works I purposely avoid make things in perfect

and stylish form Most responses that I get

are they look a bit clumsy I make an effort to

find shapes that are imperfect or clumsy form

purposely This is to provoke the viewers to

question to a certain extend themselves about

forms I feel happiest when the void I created

leads to the conversation with the viewers

What is the best lsquomasterpiecersquo in craft or

design that you ever encountered

Not long ago I was flabbergasted by Park

Honggursquos woodenware It has the shape that

does not have any unnecessary element It is

no doubt that he knows his material so well

What do you think young crafters anddesigners including you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

I think Korea society is quite chaotic now The

worse thing is that the entire burden from such

situation is loaded on to young generationrsquos

shoulders In the society where landing on a job

they can love and being happy is impossible

choosing craft as their job is even harder I

would like to say that we should think the fact

that we made such a difficult decision as it is

and it is worthy enough to think one should

continue what they have been doing

SoSo is a set of spoon chopstick and cutlery

rest using traditional techniques from mother-

of-pearl lacquer and gilding Pendant The idea

of Ah Ottrsquo came up while working on the spoon

rest

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Lacquer+blank All of my works is finished with

lacquer in the end

What kinds of processes are needed to produce

one work SoSo for example it takes 3-4 times

of lacquering on cut wood Sometime several

more times of lacquering and grinding are

needed after gluing mother-of-pearl or gold foil in

order to set it Lastly it is finished with polishing

What is the uniqueness of lsquoKang Heejung

Brandrsquo lsquoReservednessrsquo The style that is

traditional but not classical

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers who is active in the field

It is hard to pick just one since there are so

many great designers in Korea Among foreign

designers I love Enzo Mari who is representative

of Italian Modern design and Japanese designer

Nagaoka Genmei

What drives you to continue your work

Thought that there are people who want my

work(product)

Is there an item that you would like to challenge

to create in the future I would like a chance to

design a space full with my works

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I would like to continue making things

It does not have to be a lot but constantly While

showing my own color I would like to be a crafter

who makes up-to-dated objects that people trust

Though the method of numbering each

ceramic tiles in the elements of ceramic

object can sound lsquonot different than otherrsquo and

disadvantageous

Yes I heard that many times People even tell me

to put a stop to it However I would not make a

big effort to change the way of working or break

the habit If the time comes that I get bored or I

wonrsquot be able to do it with some reason I would

follow the natural course I too am curious how

my work is going to be ended The same as two

characters ltWaiting for Godotgt without knowing

who Godot is I just add the tiles I am doing it as

far as I can Wouldnrsquot it be okay if one or two do

something looks stupid

Work by Bae Sejin is more of a sculpture thanceramic Do you consider yourself you are on

the border between them

I do not particularly feel the need of categorize

such thing I am on the border of this side end

and that side Next project that I am planning

will be more ambiguous in terms of the borders

But one thing is sure that I will continue to keep

01 04 Bae Sejinrsquos ltWaiting

for Godotgt

02 03 Bae Sejinrsquos sculptural

and flat object show wide

spectrum of craft

this position because I believe that craft is

something for a man devotes himself and make

it with all his heart

What issue interests you as an artist

First is adding functionality on sculptural object

(it means to make something useful in life)

Second is to reduce the size of the works For

that matter trying to make change in materials

rather than clay

Your experience with fairs abroad as

participants or attendee have influenced you

Biggest influence I get from such experience is

being motivated One thing that you constantly

have in your mind is lsquoif you are doing rightrsquo

When many people like your work in exhibitions

abroad and that leads to sales channel it can

be great motivation for your art

What kind of work have you created

I have created objects for a long time But I

started to add functionality in my works that is

entitled lsquoArt Deco Warersquo Cups dishes bowls

etc I am communicating with people through

art porcelain goods that emphasizes both

aestheticity and functionality

Which material do you prefer to use And Why

I normally use white clay White clay is most

effective and appropriate material that can bring

out the essential beauty of Korean traditional craft

The material also allows me to accentuate stylistic

finishing at the same time There I add colored

clay and liquid gold to create various flows which

is the concept in the lsquoFliessenrsquo series

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or potters As I continue the concept

of lsquoFliessenrsquo through the brand called lsquoceramic

by leezeesoorsquo I was able to present variety of

patterns every year Harmony of aestheticity and

visualizing both contemporary and traditional

sensibility with white clay may be counted as the

characteristics of my work

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers I admire Lee Youngjae

who lives in Germany When I was having hard

time to choose which school I should go in

Germany to study pottery I ran into him on a

street Then he advised me to go Giebichenstein

01 Gold and blue porcelain one of the lsquoFliessenrsquo series Tall cup

which is called lsquoSolid and Voidrsquo is presented as 2013 KCDF lsquoCraft

and Design Product Development Projectrsquo 02 03 Hanok Gallery

Gobang is where you can purchase Lee Zeesoorsquos work

Kunsthochschule Halle Also the works by the

late Lee Ungno inspire me

Besides this do you have any other objects

that inspire you I am particularly impressed by

paintings depicting group of people among the

late Lee Ungnorsquos oeuvre Nature bird sounds

architecture etc there are too many to pick just

one

C R A F T + D E S I G N = L I F E

It is no doubt that his cups will be appreciated by gentlemen rather than by

the hands of usual ladies His cups are intriguing though different from usual

designs he does not either throw on the wheel or cast but make them with

slab of clay so they look like he rolled cardboards He always goes beyond

conventional methods including experimenting with combination of clay and

metal and polishing surface of ceramic instead of glazing This couldnrsquot help

to make you wonder lsquowhat is the nextrsquo

Your brand name lsquoDeep Cobaltrsquo sounds unique

What is the meaning behind it

I ran in to the phrase while reading a novel when

I was young I liked its abstract association with

lsquothe color of a deep oceanrsquo

You chose handbuilding technique with slab of

clay instead of wheel throwing or casting What

are the merits and demerits

Wheel throwing and casting technique require

postproduction process even after building

shapes and drying the clay On one hand

handbuilding method allows me to finish the

making process at the building shapes stage

without additional process It also allows me to

create the shape my porcelains a fun look of

paper On the other hand it has low success

rate and takes longer time because it requires

polishing process after second firing

Another unusual fact of the Deep Cobalt is that

it uses clay called Black Mountain instead of

normal porcelain clay What is the reason for it

First of all it is because of the color of the clay I

learned about it while I was looking for clay that

has rougher texture and color There are clays

with rough texture but no such color It fitted very

well for my work that uses minimum amount of

glaze and emphasizing natural characteristics of

clay Using heat wire (in order not to be rusted

while fired on 1200 degree) or gluing leather is

the influence from the experience of ceramic

object work I did before I started ceramic craft

Maybe that is the reason

Would you make self-assessment of the fact

why Deep Cobalt has drawn attention among

active crafters

I would say people tend to be amazed by them

rather than loving them They look different than

other craftersrsquo Would it be the reason My work

looks like rather a tin can than ceramic pot The

basic principle is being persistent attempting to

make new design I kept in mind that the cups

are drinking tool The cup is the outcome of the

design that I approached from this perspective

Which design do you think is lsquothe best of the

01 04 He flattens slab of clay and builds the shape by

rolling them like a sheet of paper

02 He recently added leather on his heat wire handle

03 Mug cups and strainer that reveals natural

characteristics of clay called lsquoBlack Mountainrsquo

best craft or deignrsquo Freitag bags Not only the

design is excellent but also the concept behind

deserves the status It recycles used seat belt

bicycle tube truck taps etc It is quite interesting

to know people still love them even though each

bag looks different from each other because it is

recycling used materials

Including artist Hyun Sanghwa what do you

think the young artists lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

If you have idea of a work you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

without hesitant

CHO BYUNGJU

Cho Byungju creates furniture with emphasize on

its function and characteristics of the material He

also does not hide changes that take place during

manufacturing process because his motto is all should

be able to understand and appreciate designer

furniture by its simplicity and straightforwardness

unlike the notion of designer furniture often gives out

notion of that they are difficult and complex

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Also I would like to work on Korean restaurant

that I would pour my whole energy and ability on

its furniture interior tableware etc

Ten years from now what kind of crafter or

designer you want to be considered

An artist who knows his material well

Who do you highly esteem among crafters or

designers

furniture design and the architect Ando Tadao

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

If you sum up your art and its characteristicsinto one sentence Tableware design that

combines practicality and estheticism

Tell us briefly about the technique you use and

the making process of your work I have mostly

worked on white porcelain tableware Majority of

them were made with wheel throwing technique

Slip casting is also used when I wanted more

unique design Sometime I use different glaze for

inside from out side As I am working more on

tableware I get the chance to use it for myself

putting my food in them and make corrections

on the design if needed

Silver finishing is used for some of the works Is

there special reason for that I went to a special

talk addressed by a Japanese artist when I was

in grad school He used silver foils on small

part of his work and that got interested me to try

some experiments using silver Silver gives you

feeling if it is alive because it gradually changes

its color as it gets oxidized So I have continued

using silver as finishing material since 2007

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Heejong Brandrdquo

lsquoContaining stories in the designrsquo might be it

When I design an item I think of wonderful

memories in the past or present to apply in it

You are running a shop And that is rare for

artists What good is in running your own shop

I have worked considering that fairs are

equivalent to exhibitions And I value the time

I communicate with audience at the field

However fairs are only stayed open up to 5days making the time with audience too short

I also have been thinking it costs a lot to be in

a fair and find it hectic packing and unpacking

freights Then I opened a shop at Sagimakgol

Icheon Gyeonggi Province It was located in

the middle of wholesale district where in which

number of young artists and retail customers

are growing My wife who majored ceramic art is

running the shop She is most helpful because

she understands my art more than anyone else

and she pays attention to the responses from the

customers

What is future plan for your art Things that

I would like to try are endless when you are

working on tableware As various as foods are I

would like to make all kind of tableware I can see

myself focusing on tableware for a while There is

one thing that I really want to try to do It is my

dream to go to a quiet place later and build a kiln

firing with logs for ceramics without glaze Firing

with logs and using ashes f or coloring ceramics

is really interesting

Is there an artist who influenced on your work I

should be careful but my teachers are not either

books or senior artists It is customers I try to

make things that my customers want If one

does not figure out what his customers want or

cannot read the trend good craft design cannot

be made If basic principle of craft is to make

something for daily use it must be right to make

what people want with my own taste

MOON YOOJIN

lsquoBachirsquo is pure Korean word for lsquocraftsmanrsquo It refers to a person who devotes

to hisher life to being authentic professional despite they used to belong to

lowest class Moon Yoojin decided to succeed such spirit even considering it as

calling and fortune She has faith as a person who started life as crafter to do

knotting and lacquer after leaving her life as a designer which she spent half of

her life She believes that if one accumulates one more knot and one more layer

of lacquer one lsquogood thingrsquo can come out of it the same as Jo Hoonhyun the

famous go player continued one move after another and became a master

Please explain your work lsquothe Knots Bagrsquo

It is a second bag inspired by our forefathersrsquo

craft called gat Its string was the only means formen to accessorize I wanted to link the virtue

of the string to contemporary living with subtlety

and grace to come up with the second bag This

bag looks like a gat if you put it upside down

(It also reminds us of donut too so it would be

okay to call it lsquodonut bagrsquo Polyester is mostly

used to make these because if you use natural

fabric the signature pleats are gone

It seems that name of the brand lsquoBachirsquo holds

your design philosophy as a whole It is the

name of the brand and the name of my company

also Bachi refers to a person who devotes his

life to make only one thing The word can be

combined with name of the thing that bachi

make Letrsquos say someone is called gatbachi

it refers to someone who makes things with

gat(leather) and matchstick bachi means not

someone who sells matchstick but makes and

sells them They were creators literally I wanted

to succeed in the mind of theirs

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Contemporary application of tradition

Why do you favor knotting technique

If you make a mistake while applying lacquer

you can either apply one more layer or find

another way of correcting it However if you

make a mistake during knotting you cannot

ever get the result that you intended It is why

knotting is both difficult and attractive One of

the reasons that make knotting craftsmen so

great is they memorize all the techniques by

heart But it makes hard to disseminate I felt

bad this traditional knotting continued only to

be in the state of home decoration Through

lsquoapplicationrsquo processes I wanted such traditionbe penetrated in to the lives of ours I developed

ideas that make knots equipped with functions

instead being considered as additional element

old school ornament Its result is lsquothe knots bagrsquo

you see here

How do you envision your life as crafter

in ten years I hope I am a craft designer

acknowledged for my editions and I would like to

publish a monograph

Many attach expression of lsquofun furniturersquo on your

work If you sum up your art into one sentence

what would that be

Design that combines curiosity and imagination

Designer Kim Juilrsquos work can be described

as something literally crosses over craft and

design After the detailed design you add labor

element by hand donrsquot you

Thatrsquos right It is literally lsquocraft+designrsquo I consider

the basic way of thinking and story behind craft

and design are same They only have different

ways of expression My work also combines

industrial technique and fabrication process

of craft But I would not particularly want to

separate them either

Eco-friendliness has become the issue needsto be resolved in design and craft field Do you

have anything in your work that implements

such issue I am incorporating lsquocirculation

structurersquo in the principle of design If possible I

choose sturdy and recyclable material and eco-

friendly elements are always included in the

foundation of my design

Including Craft Trend Fair I have participated

in many other fairs related to craft and design

Salone Satellite that I have participated with the

students from Hanseo University left me with

deep impression among them It meant a lot

because we were officially invited through one

year of preparation We received remarks like we

are lsquobuilding forms and style through designrsquo

We took the theme lsquocrossing point of East and

West Fish hung on the ceiling using principle of

expansion and contraction work that animated

each color of yarn by adding light fixture etc

works that accentuated craftwork were most

popular among audience members

tableware He tells us that he thinks of place and person that his works

will be used So his work appears highly refined on one hand and rough

on the other giving us a joy of looking as well as using

How did you start metal craft What was the

motivation My father has been in jewelry craft

industry over 30 years I had chance to look at him

working and gradually got interested in this field

Looking closely at daily nicknacks drawing ideas

being curious about hands on processes and

enjoying to make them led me to the work today

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Hyunsung Brandrdquo

I would like to say that it is effectiveness in

function practicality simplicity and friendliness of

design

Is there an artist who influenced you And Why

Sculptor Brancusi influenced me a lot He got

rid of all the unnecessary details and his way of

condensing all the energies inside is quite inspiringIndustrial designer Dieter Rams as well as metal

crafter Koh Bohyung and Shim Hyunseok come

to my mind These two craftsmen taught me not

only through the their work but also through the

way of living and way of looking at things

01 Kimrsquos presentation at Jung Soyoungrsquos

Sikijang exhibition ltThe coffee

makers+gt (20141126~1220 Arumjigi

company house Tonguidong)

02 03 His studio view

04 Bronze dripper

What is most important aspect in creating

works I purposely avoid make things in perfect

and stylish form Most responses that I get

are they look a bit clumsy I make an effort to

find shapes that are imperfect or clumsy form

purposely This is to provoke the viewers to

question to a certain extend themselves about

forms I feel happiest when the void I created

leads to the conversation with the viewers

What is the best lsquomasterpiecersquo in craft or

design that you ever encountered

Not long ago I was flabbergasted by Park

Honggursquos woodenware It has the shape that

does not have any unnecessary element It is

no doubt that he knows his material so well

What do you think young crafters anddesigners including you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

I think Korea society is quite chaotic now The

worse thing is that the entire burden from such

situation is loaded on to young generationrsquos

shoulders In the society where landing on a job

they can love and being happy is impossible

choosing craft as their job is even harder I

would like to say that we should think the fact

that we made such a difficult decision as it is

and it is worthy enough to think one should

continue what they have been doing

Please tell me about your work lsquoSoSo( 小昭 )rsquo

SoSo is a set of spoon chopstick and cutlery

rest using traditional techniques from mother-

of-pearl lacquer and gilding Pendant The idea

of Ah Ottrsquo came up while working on the spoon

rest

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Lacquer+blank All of my works is finished with

lacquer in the end

What kinds of processes are needed to produce

one work SoSo for example it takes 3-4 times

of lacquering on cut wood Sometime several

more times of lacquering and grinding are

needed after gluing mother-of-pearl or gold foil in

order to set it Lastly it is finished with polishing

What is the uniqueness of lsquoKang Heejung

Brandrsquo lsquoReservednessrsquo The style that is

traditional but not classical

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers who is active in the field

It is hard to pick just one since there are so

many great designers in Korea Among foreign

designers I love Enzo Mari who is representative

of Italian Modern design and Japanese designer

Nagaoka Genmei

What drives you to continue your work

Thought that there are people who want my

work(product)

Is there an item that you would like to challenge

to create in the future I would like a chance to

design a space full with my works

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I would like to continue making things

It does not have to be a lot but constantly While

showing my own color I would like to be a crafter

who makes up-to-dated objects that people trust

and want to have

Do you have other objects that inspire you

Though the method of numbering each

ceramic tiles in the elements of ceramic

object can sound lsquonot different than otherrsquo and

disadvantageous

Yes I heard that many times People even tell me

to put a stop to it However I would not make a

big effort to change the way of working or break

the habit If the time comes that I get bored or I

wonrsquot be able to do it with some reason I would

follow the natural course I too am curious how

my work is going to be ended The same as two

characters ltWaiting for Godotgt without knowing

who Godot is I just add the tiles I am doing it as

far as I can Wouldnrsquot it be okay if one or two do

something looks stupid

Work by Bae Sejin is more of a sculpture thanceramic Do you consider yourself you are on

the border between them

I do not particularly feel the need of categorize

such thing I am on the border of this side end

and that side Next project that I am planning

will be more ambiguous in terms of the borders

But one thing is sure that I will continue to keep

01 04 Bae Sejinrsquos ltWaiting

for Godotgt

02 03 Bae Sejinrsquos sculptural

and flat object show wide

spectrum of craft

this position because I believe that craft is

something for a man devotes himself and make

it with all his heart

What issue interests you as an artist

First is adding functionality on sculptural object

(it means to make something useful in life)

Second is to reduce the size of the works For

that matter trying to make change in materials

rather than clay

Your experience with fairs abroad as

participants or attendee have influenced you

Biggest influence I get from such experience is

being motivated One thing that you constantly

have in your mind is lsquoif you are doing rightrsquo

When many people like your work in exhibitions

abroad and that leads to sales channel it can

be great motivation for your art

LEE ZEESOO

Lee Zeesoo has created lsquoFliessenrsquo series since six years ago Fliessen is a

German word for lsquoflowrsquo While it refers to flowing pattern that two or more

colors are mixed but it also denotes psychological state in which one is

lsquoimmersed into something enough to forget time flowsrsquo Her traditional

porcelain is contemporary expression of her passion energy and juissance that

spring up when she immerses into her work

What kind of work have you created

I have created objects for a long time But I

started to add functionality in my works that is

entitled lsquoArt Deco Warersquo Cups dishes bowls

etc I am communicating with people through

art porcelain goods that emphasizes both

aestheticity and functionality

Which material do you prefer to use And Why

I normally use white clay White clay is most

effective and appropriate material that can bring

out the essential beauty of Korean traditional craft

The material also allows me to accentuate stylistic

finishing at the same time There I add colored

clay and liquid gold to create various flows which

is the concept in the lsquoFliessenrsquo series

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or potters As I continue the concept

of lsquoFliessenrsquo through the brand called lsquoceramic

by leezeesoorsquo I was able to present variety of

patterns every year Harmony of aestheticity and

visualizing both contemporary and traditional

sensibility with white clay may be counted as the

characteristics of my work

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers I admire Lee Youngjae

who lives in Germany When I was having hard

time to choose which school I should go in

Germany to study pottery I ran into him on a

street Then he advised me to go Giebichenstein

Besides this do you have any other objects

that inspire you I am particularly impressed by

paintings depicting group of people among the

It is no doubt that his cups will be appreciated by gentlemen rather than by

the hands of usual ladies His cups are intriguing though different from usual

designs he does not either throw on the wheel or cast but make them with

slab of clay so they look like he rolled cardboards He always goes beyond

conventional methods including experimenting with combination of clay and

metal and polishing surface of ceramic instead of glazing This couldnrsquot help

to make you wonder lsquowhat is the nextrsquo

Your brand name lsquoDeep Cobaltrsquo sounds unique

What is the meaning behind it

I ran in to the phrase while reading a novel when

I was young I liked its abstract association with

lsquothe color of a deep oceanrsquo

You chose handbuilding technique with slab of

clay instead of wheel throwing or casting What

are the merits and demerits

Wheel throwing and casting technique require

postproduction process even after building

shapes and drying the clay On one hand

handbuilding method allows me to finish the

making process at the building shapes stage

without additional process It also allows me to

create the shape my porcelains a fun look of

paper On the other hand it has low success

rate and takes longer time because it requires

polishing process after second firing

Another unusual fact of the Deep Cobalt is that

it uses clay called Black Mountain instead of

normal porcelain clay What is the reason for it

First of all it is because of the color of the clay I

learned about it while I was looking for clay that

has rougher texture and color There are clays

with rough texture but no such color It fitted very

well for my work that uses minimum amount of

glaze and emphasizing natural characteristics of

clay Using heat wire (in order not to be rusted

while fired on 1200 degree) or gluing leather is

the influence from the experience of ceramic

object work I did before I started ceramic craft

Maybe that is the reason

Would you make self-assessment of the fact

why Deep Cobalt has drawn attention among

active crafters

I would say people tend to be amazed by them

rather than loving them They look different than

other craftersrsquo Would it be the reason My work

looks like rather a tin can than ceramic pot The

basic principle is being persistent attempting to

make new design I kept in mind that the cups

are drinking tool The cup is the outcome of the

design that I approached from this perspective

Which design do you think is lsquothe best of the

01 04 He flattens slab of clay and builds the shape by

rolling them like a sheet of paper

02 He recently added leather on his heat wire handle

03 Mug cups and strainer that reveals natural

characteristics of clay called lsquoBlack Mountainrsquo

best craft or deignrsquo Freitag bags Not only the

design is excellent but also the concept behind

deserves the status It recycles used seat belt

bicycle tube truck taps etc It is quite interesting

to know people still love them even though each

bag looks different from each other because it is

recycling used materials

Including artist Hyun Sanghwa what do you

think the young artists lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

If you have idea of a work you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

without hesitant

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Also I would like to work on Korean restaurant

that I would pour my whole energy and ability on

its furniture interior tableware etc

Ten years from now what kind of crafter or

designer you want to be considered

An artist who knows his material well

Who do you highly esteem among crafters or

designers

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

If you sum up your art and its characteristicsinto one sentence Tableware design that

combines practicality and estheticism

Tell us briefly about the technique you use and

the making process of your work I have mostly

worked on white porcelain tableware Majority of

them were made with wheel throwing technique

Slip casting is also used when I wanted more

unique design Sometime I use different glaze for

inside from out side As I am working more on

tableware I get the chance to use it for myself

putting my food in them and make corrections

on the design if needed

Silver finishing is used for some of the works Is

there special reason for that I went to a special

talk addressed by a Japanese artist when I was

in grad school He used silver foils on small

part of his work and that got interested me to try

some experiments using silver Silver gives you

feeling if it is alive because it gradually changes

its color as it gets oxidized So I have continued

using silver as finishing material since 2007

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Heejong Brandrdquo

lsquoContaining stories in the designrsquo might be it

When I design an item I think of wonderful

memories in the past or present to apply in it

You are running a shop And that is rare for

artists What good is in running your own shop

I have worked considering that fairs are

equivalent to exhibitions And I value the time

I communicate with audience at the field

However fairs are only stayed open up to 5days making the time with audience too short

I also have been thinking it costs a lot to be in

a fair and find it hectic packing and unpacking

freights Then I opened a shop at Sagimakgol

Icheon Gyeonggi Province It was located in

the middle of wholesale district where in which

number of young artists and retail customers

are growing My wife who majored ceramic art is

running the shop She is most helpful because

she understands my art more than anyone else

and she pays attention to the responses from the

customers

What is future plan for your art Things that

I would like to try are endless when you are

working on tableware As various as foods are I

would like to make all kind of tableware I can see

myself focusing on tableware for a while There is

one thing that I really want to try to do It is my

dream to go to a quiet place later and build a kiln

firing with logs for ceramics without glaze Firing

with logs and using ashes f or coloring ceramics

is really interesting

Is there an artist who influenced on your work I

should be careful but my teachers are not either

books or senior artists It is customers I try to

make things that my customers want If one

does not figure out what his customers want or

cannot read the trend good craft design cannot

be made If basic principle of craft is to make

something for daily use it must be right to make

what people want with my own taste

MOON YOOJIN

lsquoBachirsquo is pure Korean word for lsquocraftsmanrsquo It refers to a person who devotes

to hisher life to being authentic professional despite they used to belong to

lowest class Moon Yoojin decided to succeed such spirit even considering it as

calling and fortune She has faith as a person who started life as crafter to do

knotting and lacquer after leaving her life as a designer which she spent half of

her life She believes that if one accumulates one more knot and one more layer

of lacquer one lsquogood thingrsquo can come out of it the same as Jo Hoonhyun the

famous go player continued one move after another and became a master

Please explain your work lsquothe Knots Bagrsquo

It is a second bag inspired by our forefathersrsquo

craft called gat Its string was the only means formen to accessorize I wanted to link the virtue

of the string to contemporary living with subtlety

and grace to come up with the second bag This

bag looks like a gat if you put it upside down

(It also reminds us of donut too so it would be

okay to call it lsquodonut bagrsquo Polyester is mostly

used to make these because if you use natural

fabric the signature pleats are gone

It seems that name of the brand lsquoBachirsquo holds

your design philosophy as a whole It is the

name of the brand and the name of my company

also Bachi refers to a person who devotes his

life to make only one thing The word can be

combined with name of the thing that bachi

make Letrsquos say someone is called gatbachi

it refers to someone who makes things with

gat(leather) and matchstick bachi means not

someone who sells matchstick but makes and

sells them They were creators literally I wanted

to succeed in the mind of theirs

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Contemporary application of tradition

Why do you favor knotting technique

If you make a mistake while applying lacquer

you can either apply one more layer or find

another way of correcting it However if you

make a mistake during knotting you cannot

ever get the result that you intended It is why

knotting is both difficult and attractive One of

the reasons that make knotting craftsmen so

great is they memorize all the techniques by

heart But it makes hard to disseminate I felt

bad this traditional knotting continued only to

be in the state of home decoration Through

lsquoapplicationrsquo processes I wanted such traditionbe penetrated in to the lives of ours I developed

ideas that make knots equipped with functions

instead being considered as additional element

old school ornament Its result is lsquothe knots bagrsquo

you see here

How do you envision your life as crafter

in ten years I hope I am a craft designer

acknowledged for my editions and I would like to

publish a monograph

If you are planning to learn about the

art of Kim Juil first thing to do is to

raise your level of curiosity Dresser

bookshelf that moves up and down

along the spiral transformer sofa that

hides coffee table inside etc they

are the lsquothingsrsquo made out of curiosity

and imagination It is said that his

look closely

Many attach expression of lsquofun furniturersquo on your

work If you sum up your art into one sentence

what would that be

Design that combines curiosity and imagination

Designer Kim Juilrsquos work can be described

as something literally crosses over craft and

design After the detailed design you add labor

element by hand donrsquot you

Thatrsquos right It is literally lsquocraft+designrsquo I consider

the basic way of thinking and story behind craft

and design are same They only have different

ways of expression My work also combines

industrial technique and fabrication process

of craft But I would not particularly want to

separate them either

Eco-friendliness has become the issue needsto be resolved in design and craft field Do you

have anything in your work that implements

such issue I am incorporating lsquocirculation

structurersquo in the principle of design If possible I

choose sturdy and recyclable material and eco-

friendly elements are always included in the

foundation of my design

candleholder that you can

adjust its height 02 lsquoEco Driversquo

case that he presented at Craft

05 lsquov-tworsquo This V shaped sofa

hides a coffee table inside that

you can pull out from both side

Including Craft Trend Fair I have participated

in many other fairs related to craft and design

Salone Satellite that I have participated with the

students from Hanseo University left me with

deep impression among them It meant a lot

because we were officially invited through one

year of preparation We received remarks like we

are lsquobuilding forms and style through designrsquo

We took the theme lsquocrossing point of East and

West Fish hung on the ceiling using principle of

expansion and contraction work that animated

each color of yarn by adding light fixture etc

works that accentuated craftwork were most

popular among audience members

will be used So his work appears highly refined on one hand and rough

on the other giving us a joy of looking as well as using

How did you start metal craft What was the

motivation My father has been in jewelry craft

industry over 30 years I had chance to look at him

working and gradually got interested in this field

Looking closely at daily nicknacks drawing ideas

being curious about hands on processes and

enjoying to make them led me to the work today

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Hyunsung Brandrdquo

I would like to say that it is effectiveness in

function practicality simplicity and friendliness of

design

Is there an artist who influenced you And Why

Sculptor Brancusi influenced me a lot He got

rid of all the unnecessary details and his way of

condensing all the energies inside is quite inspiringIndustrial designer Dieter Rams as well as metal

crafter Koh Bohyung and Shim Hyunseok come

to my mind These two craftsmen taught me not

only through the their work but also through the

way of living and way of looking at things

Sikijang exhibition ltThe coffee

makers+gt (20141126~1220 Arumjigi

02 03 His studio view

04 Bronze dripper

What is most important aspect in creating

works I purposely avoid make things in perfect

and stylish form Most responses that I get

are they look a bit clumsy I make an effort to

find shapes that are imperfect or clumsy form

purposely This is to provoke the viewers to

question to a certain extend themselves about

forms I feel happiest when the void I created

leads to the conversation with the viewers

What is the best lsquomasterpiecersquo in craft or

design that you ever encountered

Not long ago I was flabbergasted by Park

Honggursquos woodenware It has the shape that

does not have any unnecessary element It is

no doubt that he knows his material so well

What do you think young crafters anddesigners including you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

I think Korea society is quite chaotic now The

worse thing is that the entire burden from such

situation is loaded on to young generationrsquos

shoulders In the society where landing on a job

they can love and being happy is impossible

choosing craft as their job is even harder I

would like to say that we should think the fact

that we made such a difficult decision as it is

and it is worthy enough to think one should

continue what they have been doing

Please tell me about your work lsquoSoSo( 小昭 )rsquo

SoSo is a set of spoon chopstick and cutlery

rest using traditional techniques from mother-

of-pearl lacquer and gilding Pendant The idea

of Ah Ottrsquo came up while working on the spoon

rest

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Lacquer+blank All of my works is finished with

lacquer in the end

What kinds of processes are needed to produce

one work SoSo for example it takes 3-4 times

of lacquering on cut wood Sometime several

more times of lacquering and grinding are

needed after gluing mother-of-pearl or gold foil in

order to set it Lastly it is finished with polishing

What is the uniqueness of lsquoKang Heejung

Brandrsquo lsquoReservednessrsquo The style that is

traditional but not classical

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers who is active in the field

It is hard to pick just one since there are so

many great designers in Korea Among foreign

designers I love Enzo Mari who is representative

of Italian Modern design and Japanese designer

Nagaoka Genmei

What drives you to continue your work

Thought that there are people who want my

work(product)

Is there an item that you would like to challenge

to create in the future I would like a chance to

design a space full with my works

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I would like to continue making things

It does not have to be a lot but constantly While

showing my own color I would like to be a crafter

who makes up-to-dated objects that people trust

Though the method of numbering each

ceramic tiles in the elements of ceramic

object can sound lsquonot different than otherrsquo and

disadvantageous

Yes I heard that many times People even tell me

to put a stop to it However I would not make a

big effort to change the way of working or break

the habit If the time comes that I get bored or I

wonrsquot be able to do it with some reason I would

follow the natural course I too am curious how

my work is going to be ended The same as two

characters ltWaiting for Godotgt without knowing

who Godot is I just add the tiles I am doing it as

far as I can Wouldnrsquot it be okay if one or two do

something looks stupid

Work by Bae Sejin is more of a sculpture thanceramic Do you consider yourself you are on

the border between them

I do not particularly feel the need of categorize

such thing I am on the border of this side end

and that side Next project that I am planning

will be more ambiguous in terms of the borders

But one thing is sure that I will continue to keep

01 04 Bae Sejinrsquos ltWaiting

for Godotgt

02 03 Bae Sejinrsquos sculptural

and flat object show wide

spectrum of craft

this position because I believe that craft is

something for a man devotes himself and make

it with all his heart

What issue interests you as an artist

First is adding functionality on sculptural object

(it means to make something useful in life)

Second is to reduce the size of the works For

that matter trying to make change in materials

rather than clay

Your experience with fairs abroad as

participants or attendee have influenced you

Biggest influence I get from such experience is

being motivated One thing that you constantly

have in your mind is lsquoif you are doing rightrsquo

When many people like your work in exhibitions

abroad and that leads to sales channel it can

be great motivation for your art

What kind of work have you created

I have created objects for a long time But I

started to add functionality in my works that is

entitled lsquoArt Deco Warersquo Cups dishes bowls

etc I am communicating with people through

art porcelain goods that emphasizes both

aestheticity and functionality

Which material do you prefer to use And Why

I normally use white clay White clay is most

effective and appropriate material that can bring

out the essential beauty of Korean traditional craft

The material also allows me to accentuate stylistic

finishing at the same time There I add colored

clay and liquid gold to create various flows which

is the concept in the lsquoFliessenrsquo series

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or potters As I continue the concept

of lsquoFliessenrsquo through the brand called lsquoceramic

by leezeesoorsquo I was able to present variety of

patterns every year Harmony of aestheticity and

visualizing both contemporary and traditional

sensibility with white clay may be counted as the

characteristics of my work

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers I admire Lee Youngjae

who lives in Germany When I was having hard

time to choose which school I should go in

Germany to study pottery I ran into him on a

street Then he advised me to go Giebichenstein

It is no doubt that his cups will be appreciated by gentlemen rather than by

the hands of usual ladies His cups are intriguing though different from usual

designs he does not either throw on the wheel or cast but make them with

slab of clay so they look like he rolled cardboards He always goes beyond

conventional methods including experimenting with combination of clay and

metal and polishing surface of ceramic instead of glazing This couldnrsquot help

Your brand name lsquoDeep Cobaltrsquo sounds unique

What is the meaning behind it

I ran in to the phrase while reading a novel when

I was young I liked its abstract association with

lsquothe color of a deep oceanrsquo

You chose handbuilding technique with slab of

clay instead of wheel throwing or casting What

are the merits and demerits

Wheel throwing and casting technique require

postproduction process even after building

shapes and drying the clay On one hand

handbuilding method allows me to finish the

making process at the building shapes stage

without additional process It also allows me to

create the shape my porcelains a fun look of

paper On the other hand it has low success

rate and takes longer time because it requires

polishing process after second firing

Another unusual fact of the Deep Cobalt is that

it uses clay called Black Mountain instead of

normal porcelain clay What is the reason for it

First of all it is because of the color of the clay I

learned about it while I was looking for clay that

has rougher texture and color There are clays

with rough texture but no such color It fitted very

well for my work that uses minimum amount of

glaze and emphasizing natural characteristics of

clay Using heat wire (in order not to be rusted

while fired on 1200 degree) or gluing leather is

the influence from the experience of ceramic

object work I did before I started ceramic craft

Maybe that is the reason

Would you make self-assessment of the fact

why Deep Cobalt has drawn attention among

active crafters

I would say people tend to be amazed by them

rather than loving them They look different than

other craftersrsquo Would it be the reason My work

looks like rather a tin can than ceramic pot The

basic principle is being persistent attempting to

make new design I kept in mind that the cups

are drinking tool The cup is the outcome of the

design that I approached from this perspective

Which design do you think is lsquothe best of the

01 04 He flattens slab of clay and builds the shape by

rolling them like a sheet of paper

02 He recently added leather on his heat wire handle

03 Mug cups and strainer that reveals natural

characteristics of clay called lsquoBlack Mountainrsquo

best craft or deignrsquo Freitag bags Not only the

design is excellent but also the concept behind

deserves the status It recycles used seat belt

bicycle tube truck taps etc It is quite interesting

to know people still love them even though each

bag looks different from each other because it is

recycling used materials

Including artist Hyun Sanghwa what do you

think the young artists lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

If you have idea of a work you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

without hesitant

its function and characteristics of the material He

also does not hide changes that take place during

manufacturing process because his motto is all should

be able to understand and appreciate designer

furniture by its simplicity and straightforwardness

notion of that they are difficult and complex

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Also I would like to work on Korean restaurant

that I would pour my whole energy and ability on

its furniture interior tableware etc

Ten years from now what kind of crafter or

designer you want to be considered

An artist who knows his material well

Who do you highly esteem among crafters or

designers

furniture design and the architect Ando Tadao

Traditional Craftgt

ltTexturegt

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

able to learn about them or they were hard to find were it not

selected through fierce competitions It is no doubt that these

crafters also had chances to meet audience and learn their

responses After all a craft is something to be completed when

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

stories as a city of history without fail and precious relics

were boasting its grace here and there as museum without

roof Moreover the temples under the blanket of snow

lsquoBachirsquo is pure Korean word for lsquocraftsmanrsquo It refers to a person who devotes

to hisher life to being authentic professional despite they used to belong to

lowest class Moon Yoojin decided to succeed such spirit even considering it as

calling and fortune She has faith as a person who started life as crafter to do

knotting and lacquer after leaving her life as a designer which she spent half of

her life She believes that if one accumulates one more knot and one more layer

of lacquer one lsquogood thingrsquo can come out of it the same as Jo Hoonhyun the

famous go player continued one move after another and became a master

Please explain your work lsquothe Knots Bagrsquo

It is a second bag inspired by our forefathersrsquo

craft called gat Its string was the only means formen to accessorize I wanted to link the virtue

of the string to contemporary living with subtlety

and grace to come up with the second bag This

bag looks like a gat if you put it upside down

(It also reminds us of donut too so it would be

okay to call it lsquodonut bagrsquo Polyester is mostly

used to make these because if you use natural

fabric the signature pleats are gone

It seems that name of the brand lsquoBachirsquo holds

your design philosophy as a whole It is the

name of the brand and the name of my company

also Bachi refers to a person who devotes his

life to make only one thing The word can be

combined with name of the thing that bachi

make Letrsquos say someone is called gatbachi

it refers to someone who makes things with

gat(leather) and matchstick bachi means not

someone who sells matchstick but makes and

sells them They were creators literally I wanted

to succeed in the mind of theirs

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Contemporary application of tradition

Why do you favor knotting technique

If you make a mistake while applying lacquer

you can either apply one more layer or find

another way of correcting it However if you

make a mistake during knotting you cannot

ever get the result that you intended It is why

knotting is both difficult and attractive One of

the reasons that make knotting craftsmen so

great is they memorize all the techniques by

heart But it makes hard to disseminate I felt

bad this traditional knotting continued only to

be in the state of home decoration Through

lsquoapplicationrsquo processes I wanted such traditionbe penetrated in to the lives of ours I developed

ideas that make knots equipped with functions

instead being considered as additional element

old school ornament Its result is lsquothe knots bagrsquo

you see here

How do you envision your life as crafter

in ten years I hope I am a craft designer

acknowledged for my editions and I would like to

publish a monograph

look closely

Many attach expression of lsquofun furniturersquo on your

work If you sum up your art into one sentence

what would that be

Design that combines curiosity and imagination

Designer Kim Juilrsquos work can be described

as something literally crosses over craft and

design After the detailed design you add labor

element by hand donrsquot you

Thatrsquos right It is literally lsquocraft+designrsquo I consider

the basic way of thinking and story behind craft

and design are same They only have different

ways of expression My work also combines

industrial technique and fabrication process

of craft But I would not particularly want to

separate them either

Eco-friendliness has become the issue needsto be resolved in design and craft field Do you

have anything in your work that implements

such issue I am incorporating lsquocirculation

structurersquo in the principle of design If possible I

choose sturdy and recyclable material and eco-

friendly elements are always included in the

foundation of my design

01 Candle Towerrsquo LED

candleholder that you can

adjust its height 02 lsquoEco Driversquo

Detachable iPhone rest This

allows you to use phonersquos GPS

and navigation application while

recharging the phone

case that he presented at Craft

Trend Fair 04 lsquoToyrsquo Clip holder

05 lsquov-tworsquo This V shaped sofa

hides a coffee table inside that

you can pull out from both side

Including Craft Trend Fair I have participated

in many other fairs related to craft and design

Salone Satellite that I have participated with the

students from Hanseo University left me with

deep impression among them It meant a lot

because we were officially invited through one

year of preparation We received remarks like we

are lsquobuilding forms and style through designrsquo

We took the theme lsquocrossing point of East and

West Fish hung on the ceiling using principle of

expansion and contraction work that animated

each color of yarn by adding light fixture etc

works that accentuated craftwork were most

popular among audience members

How did you start metal craft What was the

motivation My father has been in jewelry craft

industry over 30 years I had chance to look at him

working and gradually got interested in this field

Looking closely at daily nicknacks drawing ideas

being curious about hands on processes and

enjoying to make them led me to the work today

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Hyunsung Brandrdquo

I would like to say that it is effectiveness in

function practicality simplicity and friendliness of

design

Is there an artist who influenced you And Why

Sculptor Brancusi influenced me a lot He got

rid of all the unnecessary details and his way of

condensing all the energies inside is quite inspiringIndustrial designer Dieter Rams as well as metal

crafter Koh Bohyung and Shim Hyunseok come

to my mind These two craftsmen taught me not

only through the their work but also through the

way of living and way of looking at things

Sikijang exhibition ltThe coffee

makers+gt (20141126~1220 Arumjigi

02 03 His studio view

04 Bronze dripper

What is most important aspect in creating

works I purposely avoid make things in perfect

and stylish form Most responses that I get

are they look a bit clumsy I make an effort to

find shapes that are imperfect or clumsy form

purposely This is to provoke the viewers to

question to a certain extend themselves about

forms I feel happiest when the void I created

leads to the conversation with the viewers

What is the best lsquomasterpiecersquo in craft or

design that you ever encountered

Not long ago I was flabbergasted by Park

Honggursquos woodenware It has the shape that

does not have any unnecessary element It is

no doubt that he knows his material so well

What do you think young crafters anddesigners including you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

I think Korea society is quite chaotic now The

worse thing is that the entire burden from such

situation is loaded on to young generationrsquos

shoulders In the society where landing on a job

they can love and being happy is impossible

choosing craft as their job is even harder I

would like to say that we should think the fact

that we made such a difficult decision as it is

and it is worthy enough to think one should

continue what they have been doing

Please tell me about your work lsquoSoSo( 小昭 )rsquo

SoSo is a set of spoon chopstick and cutlery

rest using traditional techniques from mother-

of-pearl lacquer and gilding Pendant The idea

of Ah Ottrsquo came up while working on the spoon

rest

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Lacquer+blank All of my works is finished with

lacquer in the end

What kinds of processes are needed to produce

one work SoSo for example it takes 3-4 times

of lacquering on cut wood Sometime several

more times of lacquering and grinding are

needed after gluing mother-of-pearl or gold foil in

order to set it Lastly it is finished with polishing

What is the uniqueness of lsquoKang Heejung

Brandrsquo lsquoReservednessrsquo The style that is

traditional but not classical

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers who is active in the field

It is hard to pick just one since there are so

many great designers in Korea Among foreign

designers I love Enzo Mari who is representative

of Italian Modern design and Japanese designer

Nagaoka Genmei

What drives you to continue your work

Thought that there are people who want my

work(product)

Is there an item that you would like to challenge

to create in the future I would like a chance to

design a space full with my works

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I would like to continue making things

It does not have to be a lot but constantly While

showing my own color I would like to be a crafter

Though the method of numbering each

ceramic tiles in the elements of ceramic

object can sound lsquonot different than otherrsquo and

disadvantageous

Yes I heard that many times People even tell me

to put a stop to it However I would not make a

big effort to change the way of working or break

the habit If the time comes that I get bored or I

wonrsquot be able to do it with some reason I would

follow the natural course I too am curious how

my work is going to be ended The same as two

characters ltWaiting for Godotgt without knowing

who Godot is I just add the tiles I am doing it as

far as I can Wouldnrsquot it be okay if one or two do

something looks stupid

Work by Bae Sejin is more of a sculpture thanceramic Do you consider yourself you are on

the border between them

I do not particularly feel the need of categorize

such thing I am on the border of this side end

and that side Next project that I am planning

will be more ambiguous in terms of the borders

But one thing is sure that I will continue to keep

01 04 Bae Sejinrsquos ltWaiting

for Godotgt

02 03 Bae Sejinrsquos sculptural

and flat object show wide

spectrum of craft

this position because I believe that craft is

something for a man devotes himself and make

it with all his heart

What issue interests you as an artist

First is adding functionality on sculptural object

(it means to make something useful in life)

Second is to reduce the size of the works For

that matter trying to make change in materials

rather than clay

Your experience with fairs abroad as

participants or attendee have influenced you

Biggest influence I get from such experience is

being motivated One thing that you constantly

have in your mind is lsquoif you are doing rightrsquo

When many people like your work in exhibitions

abroad and that leads to sales channel it can

be great motivation for your art

What kind of work have you created

I have created objects for a long time But I

started to add functionality in my works that is

entitled lsquoArt Deco Warersquo Cups dishes bowls

etc I am communicating with people through

art porcelain goods that emphasizes both

aestheticity and functionality

Which material do you prefer to use And Why

I normally use white clay White clay is most

effective and appropriate material that can bring

out the essential beauty of Korean traditional craft

The material also allows me to accentuate stylistic

finishing at the same time There I add colored

clay and liquid gold to create various flows which

is the concept in the lsquoFliessenrsquo series

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or potters As I continue the concept

of lsquoFliessenrsquo through the brand called lsquoceramic

by leezeesoorsquo I was able to present variety of

patterns every year Harmony of aestheticity and

visualizing both contemporary and traditional

sensibility with white clay may be counted as the

characteristics of my work

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers I admire Lee Youngjae

who lives in Germany When I was having hard

time to choose which school I should go in

Germany to study pottery I ran into him on a

street Then he advised me to go Giebichenstein

It is no doubt that his cups will be appreciated by gentlemen rather than by

the hands of usual ladies His cups are intriguing though different from usual

designs he does not either throw on the wheel or cast but make them with

slab of clay so they look like he rolled cardboards He always goes beyond

conventional methods including experimenting with combination of clay and

metal and polishing surface of ceramic instead of glazing This couldnrsquot help

Your brand name lsquoDeep Cobaltrsquo sounds unique

What is the meaning behind it

I ran in to the phrase while reading a novel when

I was young I liked its abstract association with

lsquothe color of a deep oceanrsquo

You chose handbuilding technique with slab of

clay instead of wheel throwing or casting What

are the merits and demerits

Wheel throwing and casting technique require

postproduction process even after building

shapes and drying the clay On one hand

handbuilding method allows me to finish the

making process at the building shapes stage

without additional process It also allows me to

create the shape my porcelains a fun look of

paper On the other hand it has low success

rate and takes longer time because it requires

polishing process after second firing

Another unusual fact of the Deep Cobalt is that

it uses clay called Black Mountain instead of

normal porcelain clay What is the reason for it

First of all it is because of the color of the clay I

learned about it while I was looking for clay that

has rougher texture and color There are clays

with rough texture but no such color It fitted very

well for my work that uses minimum amount of

glaze and emphasizing natural characteristics of

clay Using heat wire (in order not to be rusted

while fired on 1200 degree) or gluing leather is

the influence from the experience of ceramic

object work I did before I started ceramic craft

Maybe that is the reason

Would you make self-assessment of the fact

why Deep Cobalt has drawn attention among

active crafters

I would say people tend to be amazed by them

rather than loving them They look different than

other craftersrsquo Would it be the reason My work

looks like rather a tin can than ceramic pot The

basic principle is being persistent attempting to

make new design I kept in mind that the cups

are drinking tool The cup is the outcome of the

design that I approached from this perspective

Which design do you think is lsquothe best of the

furniture designer

CHO BYUNGJU

Cho Byungju creates furniture with emphasize on

its function and characteristics of the material He

also does not hide changes that take place during

manufacturing process because his motto is all should

be able to understand and appreciate designer

furniture by its simplicity and straightforwardness

unlike the notion of designer furniture often gives out

notion of that they are difficult and complex

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Also I would like to work on Korean restaurant

that I would pour my whole energy and ability on

its furniture interior tableware etc

Ten years from now what kind of crafter or

designer you want to be considered

An artist who knows his material well

Who do you highly esteem among crafters or

designers

Furniture designer Ha Jihoon who led me to

furniture design and the architect Ando Tadao

Traditional Craftgt

ltTexturegt

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

responses After all a craft is something to be completed when

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

Boy-rice) etchellip they are the sosengs that we are planning

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

Please explain your work lsquothe Knots Bagrsquo

It is a second bag inspired by our forefathersrsquo

craft called gat Its string was the only means formen to accessorize I wanted to link the virtue

of the string to contemporary living with subtlety

and grace to come up with the second bag This

bag looks like a gat if you put it upside down

(It also reminds us of donut too so it would be

okay to call it lsquodonut bagrsquo Polyester is mostly

used to make these because if you use natural

fabric the signature pleats are gone

It seems that name of the brand lsquoBachirsquo holds

your design philosophy as a whole It is the

name of the brand and the name of my company

also Bachi refers to a person who devotes his

life to make only one thing The word can be

combined with name of the thing that bachi

make Letrsquos say someone is called gatbachi

it refers to someone who makes things with

gat(leather) and matchstick bachi means not

someone who sells matchstick but makes and

sells them They were creators literally I wanted

to succeed in the mind of theirs

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Contemporary application of tradition

Why do you favor knotting technique

If you make a mistake while applying lacquer

you can either apply one more layer or find

another way of correcting it However if you

make a mistake during knotting you cannot

ever get the result that you intended It is why

knotting is both difficult and attractive One of

the reasons that make knotting craftsmen so

great is they memorize all the techniques by

heart But it makes hard to disseminate I felt

bad this traditional knotting continued only to

be in the state of home decoration Through

lsquoapplicationrsquo processes I wanted such traditionbe penetrated in to the lives of ours I developed

ideas that make knots equipped with functions

instead being considered as additional element

old school ornament Its result is lsquothe knots bagrsquo

you see here

How do you envision your life as crafter

in ten years I hope I am a craft designer

acknowledged for my editions and I would like to

publish a monograph

Where the readers can purchase your work

Many attach expression of lsquofun furniturersquo on your

work If you sum up your art into one sentence

what would that be

Design that combines curiosity and imagination

Designer Kim Juilrsquos work can be described

as something literally crosses over craft and

design After the detailed design you add labor

element by hand donrsquot you

Thatrsquos right It is literally lsquocraft+designrsquo I consider

the basic way of thinking and story behind craft

and design are same They only have different

ways of expression My work also combines

industrial technique and fabrication process

of craft But I would not particularly want to

separate them either

Eco-friendliness has become the issue needsto be resolved in design and craft field Do you

have anything in your work that implements

such issue I am incorporating lsquocirculation

structurersquo in the principle of design If possible I

choose sturdy and recyclable material and eco-

friendly elements are always included in the

foundation of my design

adjust its height 02 lsquoEco Driversquo

05 lsquov-tworsquo This V shaped sofa

you can pull out from both side

Including Craft Trend Fair I have participated

in many other fairs related to craft and design

Salone Satellite that I have participated with the

students from Hanseo University left me with

deep impression among them It meant a lot

because we were officially invited through one

year of preparation We received remarks like we

are lsquobuilding forms and style through designrsquo

We took the theme lsquocrossing point of East and

West Fish hung on the ceiling using principle of

expansion and contraction work that animated

each color of yarn by adding light fixture etc

works that accentuated craftwork were most

popular among audience members

through process of evening and polishing metals In the last few years

he has been drawing attention as hot artist in metal craft field with his

tableware He tells us that he thinks of place and person that his works

will be used So his work appears highly refined on one hand and rough

on the other giving us a joy of looking as well as using

How did you start metal craft What was the

motivation My father has been in jewelry craft

industry over 30 years I had chance to look at him

working and gradually got interested in this field

Looking closely at daily nicknacks drawing ideas

being curious about hands on processes and

enjoying to make them led me to the work today

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Hyunsung Brandrdquo

I would like to say that it is effectiveness in

function practicality simplicity and friendliness of

design

Is there an artist who influenced you And Why

Sculptor Brancusi influenced me a lot He got

rid of all the unnecessary details and his way of

condensing all the energies inside is quite inspiringIndustrial designer Dieter Rams as well as metal

crafter Koh Bohyung and Shim Hyunseok come

to my mind These two craftsmen taught me not

only through the their work but also through the

way of living and way of looking at things

Sikijang exhibition ltThe coffee

makers+gt (20141126~1220 Arumjigi

company house Tonguidong)

02 03 His studio view

04 Bronze dripper

What is most important aspect in creating

works I purposely avoid make things in perfect

and stylish form Most responses that I get

are they look a bit clumsy I make an effort to

find shapes that are imperfect or clumsy form

purposely This is to provoke the viewers to

question to a certain extend themselves about

forms I feel happiest when the void I created

leads to the conversation with the viewers

What is the best lsquomasterpiecersquo in craft or

design that you ever encountered

Not long ago I was flabbergasted by Park

Honggursquos woodenware It has the shape that

does not have any unnecessary element It is

no doubt that he knows his material so well

What do you think young crafters anddesigners including you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

I think Korea society is quite chaotic now The

worse thing is that the entire burden from such

situation is loaded on to young generationrsquos

shoulders In the society where landing on a job

they can love and being happy is impossible

choosing craft as their job is even harder I

would like to say that we should think the fact

that we made such a difficult decision as it is

and it is worthy enough to think one should

continue what they have been doing

Please tell me about your work lsquoSoSo( 小昭 )rsquo

SoSo is a set of spoon chopstick and cutlery

rest using traditional techniques from mother-

of-pearl lacquer and gilding Pendant The idea

of Ah Ottrsquo came up while working on the spoon

rest

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Lacquer+blank All of my works is finished with

lacquer in the end

What kinds of processes are needed to produce

one work SoSo for example it takes 3-4 times

of lacquering on cut wood Sometime several

more times of lacquering and grinding are

needed after gluing mother-of-pearl or gold foil in

order to set it Lastly it is finished with polishing

What is the uniqueness of lsquoKang Heejung

Brandrsquo lsquoReservednessrsquo The style that is

traditional but not classical

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers who is active in the field

It is hard to pick just one since there are so

many great designers in Korea Among foreign

designers I love Enzo Mari who is representative

of Italian Modern design and Japanese designer

Nagaoka Genmei

What drives you to continue your work

Thought that there are people who want my

work(product)

Is there an item that you would like to challenge

to create in the future I would like a chance to

design a space full with my works

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I would like to continue making things

It does not have to be a lot but constantly While

showing my own color I would like to be a crafter

who makes up-to-dated objects that people trust

and want to have

Do you have other objects that inspire you

Though the method of numbering each

ceramic tiles in the elements of ceramic

object can sound lsquonot different than otherrsquo and

disadvantageous

Yes I heard that many times People even tell me

to put a stop to it However I would not make a

big effort to change the way of working or break

the habit If the time comes that I get bored or I

wonrsquot be able to do it with some reason I would

follow the natural course I too am curious how

my work is going to be ended The same as two

characters ltWaiting for Godotgt without knowing

who Godot is I just add the tiles I am doing it as

far as I can Wouldnrsquot it be okay if one or two do

something looks stupid

Work by Bae Sejin is more of a sculpture thanceramic Do you consider yourself you are on

the border between them

I do not particularly feel the need of categorize

such thing I am on the border of this side end

and that side Next project that I am planning

will be more ambiguous in terms of the borders

But one thing is sure that I will continue to keep

01 04 Bae Sejinrsquos ltWaiting

for Godotgt

02 03 Bae Sejinrsquos sculptural

and flat object show wide

spectrum of craft

this position because I believe that craft is

something for a man devotes himself and make

it with all his heart

What issue interests you as an artist

First is adding functionality on sculptural object

(it means to make something useful in life)

Second is to reduce the size of the works For

that matter trying to make change in materials

rather than clay

Your experience with fairs abroad as

participants or attendee have influenced you

Biggest influence I get from such experience is

being motivated One thing that you constantly

have in your mind is lsquoif you are doing rightrsquo

When many people like your work in exhibitions

abroad and that leads to sales channel it can

be great motivation for your art

German word for lsquoflowrsquo While it refers to flowing pattern that two or more

colors are mixed but it also denotes psychological state in which one is

lsquoimmersed into something enough to forget time flowsrsquo Her traditional

porcelain is contemporary expression of her passion energy and juissance that

What kind of work have you created

I have created objects for a long time But I

started to add functionality in my works that is

entitled lsquoArt Deco Warersquo Cups dishes bowls

etc I am communicating with people through

art porcelain goods that emphasizes both

aestheticity and functionality

Which material do you prefer to use And Why

I normally use white clay White clay is most

effective and appropriate material that can bring

out the essential beauty of Korean traditional craft

The material also allows me to accentuate stylistic

finishing at the same time There I add colored

clay and liquid gold to create various flows which

is the concept in the lsquoFliessenrsquo series

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or potters As I continue the concept

of lsquoFliessenrsquo through the brand called lsquoceramic

by leezeesoorsquo I was able to present variety of

patterns every year Harmony of aestheticity and

visualizing both contemporary and traditional

sensibility with white clay may be counted as the

characteristics of my work

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers I admire Lee Youngjae

who lives in Germany When I was having hard

time to choose which school I should go in

Germany to study pottery I ran into him on a

street Then he advised me to go Giebichenstein

01 Gold and blue porcelain one of the lsquoFliessenrsquo series Tall cup

which is called lsquoSolid and Voidrsquo is presented as 2013 KCDF lsquoCraft

Gobang is where you can purchase Lee Zeesoorsquos work

Kunsthochschule Halle Also the works by the

late Lee Ungno inspire me

Besides this do you have any other objects

that inspire you I am particularly impressed by

paintings depicting group of people among the

late Lee Ungnorsquos oeuvre Nature bird sounds

architecture etc there are too many to pick just

one

It is no doubt that his cups will be appreciated by gentlemen rather than by

the hands of usual ladies His cups are intriguing though different from usual

designs he does not either throw on the wheel or cast but make them with

slab of clay so they look like he rolled cardboards He always goes beyond

conventional methods including experimenting with combination of clay and

metal and polishing surface of ceramic instead of glazing This couldnrsquot help

to make you wonder lsquowhat is the nextrsquo

Your brand name lsquoDeep Cobaltrsquo sounds unique

What is the meaning behind it

I ran in to the phrase while reading a novel when

I was young I liked its abstract association with

lsquothe color of a deep oceanrsquo

You chose handbuilding technique with slab of

clay instead of wheel throwing or casting What

are the merits and demerits

Wheel throwing and casting technique require

postproduction process even after building

shapes and drying the clay On one hand

handbuilding method allows me to finish the

making process at the building shapes stage

without additional process It also allows me to

create the shape my porcelains a fun look of

paper On the other hand it has low success

rate and takes longer time because it requires

polishing process after second firing

Another unusual fact of the Deep Cobalt is that

it uses clay called Black Mountain instead of

normal porcelain clay What is the reason for it

First of all it is because of the color of the clay I

learned about it while I was looking for clay that

has rougher texture and color There are clays

with rough texture but no such color It fitted very

well for my work that uses minimum amount of

glaze and emphasizing natural characteristics of

clay Using heat wire (in order not to be rusted

while fired on 1200 degree) or gluing leather is

the influence from the experience of ceramic

object work I did before I started ceramic craft

Maybe that is the reason

Would you make self-assessment of the fact

why Deep Cobalt has drawn attention among

active crafters

I would say people tend to be amazed by them

rather than loving them They look different than

other craftersrsquo Would it be the reason My work

looks like rather a tin can than ceramic pot The

basic principle is being persistent attempting to

make new design I kept in mind that the cups

are drinking tool The cup is the outcome of the

design that I approached from this perspective

Which design do you think is lsquothe best of the

01 04 He flattens slab of clay and builds the shape by

rolling them like a sheet of paper

02 He recently added leather on his heat wire handle

03 Mug cups and strainer that reveals natural

characteristics of clay called lsquoBlack Mountainrsquo

best craft or deignrsquo Freitag bags Not only the

design is excellent but also the concept behind

deserves the status It recycles used seat belt

bicycle tube truck taps etc It is quite interesting

to know people still love them even though each

bag looks different from each other because it is

recycling used materials

Including artist Hyun Sanghwa what do you

think the young artists lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

If you have idea of a work you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

without hesitant

CHO BYUNGJU

Cho Byungju creates furniture with emphasize on

its function and characteristics of the material He

also does not hide changes that take place during

manufacturing process because his motto is all should

be able to understand and appreciate designer

furniture by its simplicity and straightforwardness

unlike the notion of designer furniture often gives out

notion of that they are difficult and complex

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Also I would like to work on Korean restaurant

that I would pour my whole energy and ability on

its furniture interior tableware etc

Ten years from now what kind of crafter or

designer you want to be considered

An artist who knows his material well

Who do you highly esteem among crafters or

designers

furniture design and the architect Ando Tadao

ltTexturegt

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

Many attach expression of lsquofun furniturersquo on your

work If you sum up your art into one sentence

what would that be

Design that combines curiosity and imagination

Designer Kim Juilrsquos work can be described

as something literally crosses over craft and

design After the detailed design you add labor

element by hand donrsquot you

Thatrsquos right It is literally lsquocraft+designrsquo I consider

the basic way of thinking and story behind craft

and design are same They only have different

ways of expression My work also combines

industrial technique and fabrication process

of craft But I would not particularly want to

separate them either

Eco-friendliness has become the issue needsto be resolved in design and craft field Do you

have anything in your work that implements

such issue I am incorporating lsquocirculation

structurersquo in the principle of design If possible I

choose sturdy and recyclable material and eco-

friendly elements are always included in the

foundation of my design

01 Candle Towerrsquo LED

candleholder that you can

adjust its height 02 lsquoEco Driversquo

Detachable iPhone rest This

allows you to use phonersquos GPS

and navigation application while

recharging the phone

03 360-degree rotating pencil

case that he presented at Craft

Trend Fair 04 lsquoToyrsquo Clip holder

with the motif of playing culture

05 lsquov-tworsquo This V shaped sofa

hides a coffee table inside that

you can pull out from both side

Including Craft Trend Fair I have participated

in many other fairs related to craft and design

Salone Satellite that I have participated with the

students from Hanseo University left me with

deep impression among them It meant a lot

because we were officially invited through one

year of preparation We received remarks like we

are lsquobuilding forms and style through designrsquo

We took the theme lsquocrossing point of East and

West Fish hung on the ceiling using principle of

expansion and contraction work that animated

each color of yarn by adding light fixture etc

works that accentuated craftwork were most

popular among audience members

Metal crafter Kim Hyunsung makes tasteful and functional object

through process of evening and polishing metals In the last few years

he has been drawing attention as hot artist in metal craft field with his

tableware He tells us that he thinks of place and person that his works

will be used So his work appears highly refined on one hand and rough

on the other giving us a joy of looking as well as using

How did you start metal craft What was the

motivation My father has been in jewelry craft

industry over 30 years I had chance to look at him

working and gradually got interested in this field

Looking closely at daily nicknacks drawing ideas

being curious about hands on processes and

enjoying to make them led me to the work today

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Hyunsung Brandrdquo

I would like to say that it is effectiveness in

function practicality simplicity and friendliness of

design

Is there an artist who influenced you And Why

Sculptor Brancusi influenced me a lot He got

rid of all the unnecessary details and his way of

condensing all the energies inside is quite inspiringIndustrial designer Dieter Rams as well as metal

crafter Koh Bohyung and Shim Hyunseok come

to my mind These two craftsmen taught me not

only through the their work but also through the

way of living and way of looking at things

Sikijang exhibition ltThe coffee

makers+gt (20141126~1220 Arumjigi

company house Tonguidong)

02 03 His studio view

04 Bronze dripper

What is most important aspect in creating

works I purposely avoid make things in perfect

and stylish form Most responses that I get

are they look a bit clumsy I make an effort to

find shapes that are imperfect or clumsy form

purposely This is to provoke the viewers to

question to a certain extend themselves about

forms I feel happiest when the void I created

leads to the conversation with the viewers

What is the best lsquomasterpiecersquo in craft or

design that you ever encountered

Not long ago I was flabbergasted by Park

Honggursquos woodenware It has the shape that

does not have any unnecessary element It is

no doubt that he knows his material so well

What do you think young crafters anddesigners including you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

I think Korea society is quite chaotic now The

worse thing is that the entire burden from such

situation is loaded on to young generationrsquos

shoulders In the society where landing on a job

they can love and being happy is impossible

choosing craft as their job is even harder I

would like to say that we should think the fact

that we made such a difficult decision as it is

and it is worthy enough to think one should

continue what they have been doing

Please tell me about your work lsquoSoSo( 小昭 )rsquo

SoSo is a set of spoon chopstick and cutlery

rest using traditional techniques from mother-

of-pearl lacquer and gilding Pendant The idea

of Ah Ottrsquo came up while working on the spoon

rest

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Lacquer+blank All of my works is finished with

lacquer in the end

What kinds of processes are needed to produce

one work SoSo for example it takes 3-4 times

of lacquering on cut wood Sometime several

more times of lacquering and grinding are

needed after gluing mother-of-pearl or gold foil in

order to set it Lastly it is finished with polishing

What is the uniqueness of lsquoKang Heejung

Brandrsquo lsquoReservednessrsquo The style that is

traditional but not classical

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers who is active in the field

It is hard to pick just one since there are so

many great designers in Korea Among foreign

designers I love Enzo Mari who is representative

of Italian Modern design and Japanese designer

Nagaoka Genmei

What drives you to continue your work

Thought that there are people who want my

work(product)

Is there an item that you would like to challenge

to create in the future I would like a chance to

design a space full with my works

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I would like to continue making things

It does not have to be a lot but constantly While

showing my own color I would like to be a crafter

who makes up-to-dated objects that people trust

and want to have

Do you have other objects that inspire you

Though the method of numbering each

ceramic tiles in the elements of ceramic

object can sound lsquonot different than otherrsquo and

disadvantageous

Yes I heard that many times People even tell me

to put a stop to it However I would not make a

big effort to change the way of working or break

the habit If the time comes that I get bored or I

wonrsquot be able to do it with some reason I would

follow the natural course I too am curious how

my work is going to be ended The same as two

characters ltWaiting for Godotgt without knowing

who Godot is I just add the tiles I am doing it as

far as I can Wouldnrsquot it be okay if one or two do

something looks stupid

Work by Bae Sejin is more of a sculpture thanceramic Do you consider yourself you are on

the border between them

I do not particularly feel the need of categorize

such thing I am on the border of this side end

and that side Next project that I am planning

will be more ambiguous in terms of the borders

But one thing is sure that I will continue to keep

01 04 Bae Sejinrsquos ltWaiting

for Godotgt

02 03 Bae Sejinrsquos sculptural

and flat object show wide

spectrum of craft

this position because I believe that craft is

something for a man devotes himself and make

it with all his heart

What issue interests you as an artist

First is adding functionality on sculptural object

(it means to make something useful in life)

Second is to reduce the size of the works For

that matter trying to make change in materials

rather than clay

Your experience with fairs abroad as

participants or attendee have influenced you

Biggest influence I get from such experience is

being motivated One thing that you constantly

have in your mind is lsquoif you are doing rightrsquo

When many people like your work in exhibitions

abroad and that leads to sales channel it can

be great motivation for your art

Lee Zeesoo has created lsquoFliessenrsquo series since six years ago Fliessen is a

German word for lsquoflowrsquo While it refers to flowing pattern that two or more

colors are mixed but it also denotes psychological state in which one is

lsquoimmersed into something enough to forget time flowsrsquo Her traditional

porcelain is contemporary expression of her passion energy and juissance that

spring up when she immerses into her work

What kind of work have you created

I have created objects for a long time But I

started to add functionality in my works that is

entitled lsquoArt Deco Warersquo Cups dishes bowls

etc I am communicating with people through

art porcelain goods that emphasizes both

aestheticity and functionality

Which material do you prefer to use And Why

I normally use white clay White clay is most

effective and appropriate material that can bring

out the essential beauty of Korean traditional craft

The material also allows me to accentuate stylistic

finishing at the same time There I add colored

clay and liquid gold to create various flows which

is the concept in the lsquoFliessenrsquo series

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or potters As I continue the concept

of lsquoFliessenrsquo through the brand called lsquoceramic

by leezeesoorsquo I was able to present variety of

patterns every year Harmony of aestheticity and

visualizing both contemporary and traditional

sensibility with white clay may be counted as the

characteristics of my work

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers I admire Lee Youngjae

who lives in Germany When I was having hard

time to choose which school I should go in

Germany to study pottery I ran into him on a

street Then he advised me to go Giebichenstein

01 Gold and blue porcelain one of the lsquoFliessenrsquo series Tall cup

which is called lsquoSolid and Voidrsquo is presented as 2013 KCDF lsquoCraft

Gobang is where you can purchase Lee Zeesoorsquos work

Kunsthochschule Halle Also the works by the

late Lee Ungno inspire me

Besides this do you have any other objects

that inspire you I am particularly impressed by

paintings depicting group of people among the

late Lee Ungnorsquos oeuvre Nature bird sounds

architecture etc there are too many to pick just

one

It is no doubt that his cups will be appreciated by gentlemen rather than by

the hands of usual ladies His cups are intriguing though different from usual

designs he does not either throw on the wheel or cast but make them with

slab of clay so they look like he rolled cardboards He always goes beyond

conventional methods including experimenting with combination of clay and

metal and polishing surface of ceramic instead of glazing This couldnrsquot help

to make you wonder lsquowhat is the nextrsquo

I ran in to the phrase while reading a novel when

I was young I liked its abstract association with

lsquothe color of a deep oceanrsquo

You chose handbuilding technique with slab of

clay instead of wheel throwing or casting What

are the merits and demerits

Wheel throwing and casting technique require

postproduction process even after building

shapes and drying the clay On one hand

handbuilding method allows me to finish the

making process at the building shapes stage

without additional process It also allows me to

create the shape my porcelains a fun look of

paper On the other hand it has low success

rate and takes longer time because it requires

polishing process after second firing

Another unusual fact of the Deep Cobalt is that

it uses clay called Black Mountain instead of

normal porcelain clay What is the reason for it

First of all it is because of the color of the clay I

learned about it while I was looking for clay that

has rougher texture and color There are clays

with rough texture but no such color It fitted very

well for my work that uses minimum amount of

glaze and emphasizing natural characteristics of

clay Using heat wire (in order not to be rusted

while fired on 1200 degree) or gluing leather is

the influence from the experience of ceramic

object work I did before I started ceramic craft

Maybe that is the reason

Would you make self-assessment of the fact

why Deep Cobalt has drawn attention among

active crafters

I would say people tend to be amazed by them

rather than loving them They look different than

other craftersrsquo Would it be the reason My work

looks like rather a tin can than ceramic pot The

basic principle is being persistent attempting to

make new design I kept in mind that the cups

are drinking tool The cup is the outcome of the

design that I approached from this perspective

Which design do you think is lsquothe best of the

01 04 He flattens slab of clay and builds the shape by

rolling them like a sheet of paper

02 He recently added leather on his heat wire handle

03 Mug cups and strainer that reveals natural

characteristics of clay called lsquoBlack Mountainrsquo

best craft or deignrsquo Freitag bags Not only the

design is excellent but also the concept behind

deserves the status It recycles used seat belt

bicycle tube truck taps etc It is quite interesting

to know people still love them even though each

bag looks different from each other because it is

recycling used materials

Including artist Hyun Sanghwa what do you

think the young artists lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

If you have idea of a work you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

without hesitant

CHO BYUNGJU

Cho Byungju creates furniture with emphasize on

its function and characteristics of the material He

also does not hide changes that take place during

manufacturing process because his motto is all should

be able to understand and appreciate designer

furniture by its simplicity and straightforwardness

unlike the notion of designer furniture often gives out

notion of that they are difficult and complex

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Also I would like to work on Korean restaurant

that I would pour my whole energy and ability on

its furniture interior tableware etc

Ten years from now what kind of crafter or

designer you want to be considered

An artist who knows his material well

Who do you highly esteem among crafters or

designers

furniture design and the architect Ando Tadao

Traditional Craftgt

ltTexturegt

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

Many attach expression of lsquofun furniturersquo on your

work If you sum up your art into one sentence

what would that be

Design that combines curiosity and imagination

Designer Kim Juilrsquos work can be described

as something literally crosses over craft and

design After the detailed design you add labor

element by hand donrsquot you

Thatrsquos right It is literally lsquocraft+designrsquo I consider

the basic way of thinking and story behind craft

and design are same They only have different

ways of expression My work also combines

industrial technique and fabrication process

of craft But I would not particularly want to

separate them either

Eco-friendliness has become the issue needsto be resolved in design and craft field Do you

have anything in your work that implements

such issue I am incorporating lsquocirculation

structurersquo in the principle of design If possible I

choose sturdy and recyclable material and eco-

friendly elements are always included in the

foundation of my design

01 Candle Towerrsquo LED

candleholder that you can

adjust its height 02 lsquoEco Driversquo

Detachable iPhone rest This

allows you to use phonersquos GPS

and navigation application while

recharging the phone

03 360-degree rotating pencil

case that he presented at Craft

Trend Fair 04 lsquoToyrsquo Clip holder

with the motif of playing culture

05 lsquov-tworsquo This V shaped sofa

hides a coffee table inside that

you can pull out from both side

Including Craft Trend Fair I have participated

in many other fairs related to craft and design

Salone Satellite that I have participated with the

students from Hanseo University left me with

deep impression among them It meant a lot

because we were officially invited through one

year of preparation We received remarks like we

are lsquobuilding forms and style through designrsquo

We took the theme lsquocrossing point of East and

West Fish hung on the ceiling using principle of

expansion and contraction work that animated

each color of yarn by adding light fixture etc

works that accentuated craftwork were most

popular among audience members

Metal crafter Kim Hyunsung makes tasteful and functional object

through process of evening and polishing metals In the last few years

he has been drawing attention as hot artist in metal craft field with his

tableware He tells us that he thinks of place and person that his works

will be used So his work appears highly refined on one hand and rough

on the other giving us a joy of looking as well as using

How did you start metal craft What was the

motivation My father has been in jewelry craft

industry over 30 years I had chance to look at him

working and gradually got interested in this field

Looking closely at daily nicknacks drawing ideas

being curious about hands on processes and

enjoying to make them led me to the work today

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Hyunsung Brandrdquo

I would like to say that it is effectiveness in

function practicality simplicity and friendliness of

design

Is there an artist who influenced you And Why

Sculptor Brancusi influenced me a lot He got

rid of all the unnecessary details and his way of

condensing all the energies inside is quite inspiringIndustrial designer Dieter Rams as well as metal

crafter Koh Bohyung and Shim Hyunseok come

to my mind These two craftsmen taught me not

only through the their work but also through the

way of living and way of looking at things

Sikijang exhibition ltThe coffee

02 03 His studio view

04 Bronze dripper

What is most important aspect in creating

works I purposely avoid make things in perfect

and stylish form Most responses that I get

are they look a bit clumsy I make an effort to

find shapes that are imperfect or clumsy form

purposely This is to provoke the viewers to

question to a certain extend themselves about

forms I feel happiest when the void I created

leads to the conversation with the viewers

What is the best lsquomasterpiecersquo in craft or

design that you ever encountered

Not long ago I was flabbergasted by Park

Honggursquos woodenware It has the shape that

does not have any unnecessary element It is

no doubt that he knows his material so well

What do you think young crafters anddesigners including you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

I think Korea society is quite chaotic now The

worse thing is that the entire burden from such

situation is loaded on to young generationrsquos

shoulders In the society where landing on a job

they can love and being happy is impossible

choosing craft as their job is even harder I

would like to say that we should think the fact

that we made such a difficult decision as it is

and it is worthy enough to think one should

continue what they have been doing

Please tell me about your work lsquoSoSo( 小昭 )rsquo

SoSo is a set of spoon chopstick and cutlery

rest using traditional techniques from mother-

of-pearl lacquer and gilding Pendant The idea

of Ah Ottrsquo came up while working on the spoon

rest

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Lacquer+blank All of my works is finished with

lacquer in the end

What kinds of processes are needed to produce

one work SoSo for example it takes 3-4 times

of lacquering on cut wood Sometime several

more times of lacquering and grinding are

needed after gluing mother-of-pearl or gold foil in

order to set it Lastly it is finished with polishing

What is the uniqueness of lsquoKang Heejung

Brandrsquo lsquoReservednessrsquo The style that is

traditional but not classical

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers who is active in the field

It is hard to pick just one since there are so

many great designers in Korea Among foreign

designers I love Enzo Mari who is representative

of Italian Modern design and Japanese designer

Nagaoka Genmei

What drives you to continue your work

Thought that there are people who want my

work(product)

Is there an item that you would like to challenge

to create in the future I would like a chance to

design a space full with my works

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I would like to continue making things

It does not have to be a lot but constantly While

showing my own color I would like to be a crafter

who makes up-to-dated objects that people trust

and want to have

Do you have other objects that inspire you

Though the method of numbering each

ceramic tiles in the elements of ceramic

object can sound lsquonot different than otherrsquo and

disadvantageous

Yes I heard that many times People even tell me

to put a stop to it However I would not make a

big effort to change the way of working or break

the habit If the time comes that I get bored or I

wonrsquot be able to do it with some reason I would

follow the natural course I too am curious how

my work is going to be ended The same as two

characters ltWaiting for Godotgt without knowing

who Godot is I just add the tiles I am doing it as

far as I can Wouldnrsquot it be okay if one or two do

something looks stupid

Work by Bae Sejin is more of a sculpture thanceramic Do you consider yourself you are on

the border between them

I do not particularly feel the need of categorize

such thing I am on the border of this side end

and that side Next project that I am planning

will be more ambiguous in terms of the borders

But one thing is sure that I will continue to keep

01 04 Bae Sejinrsquos ltWaiting

for Godotgt

02 03 Bae Sejinrsquos sculptural

and flat object show wide

spectrum of craft

this position because I believe that craft is

something for a man devotes himself and make

it with all his heart

What issue interests you as an artist

First is adding functionality on sculptural object

(it means to make something useful in life)

Second is to reduce the size of the works For

that matter trying to make change in materials

rather than clay

Your experience with fairs abroad as

participants or attendee have influenced you

Biggest influence I get from such experience is

being motivated One thing that you constantly

have in your mind is lsquoif you are doing rightrsquo

When many people like your work in exhibitions

abroad and that leads to sales channel it can

be great motivation for your art

Lee Zeesoo has created lsquoFliessenrsquo series since six years ago Fliessen is a

German word for lsquoflowrsquo While it refers to flowing pattern that two or more

colors are mixed but it also denotes psychological state in which one is

lsquoimmersed into something enough to forget time flowsrsquo Her traditional

porcelain is contemporary expression of her passion energy and juissance that

spring up when she immerses into her work

What kind of work have you created

I have created objects for a long time But I

started to add functionality in my works that is

entitled lsquoArt Deco Warersquo Cups dishes bowls

etc I am communicating with people through

art porcelain goods that emphasizes both

aestheticity and functionality

Which material do you prefer to use And Why

I normally use white clay White clay is most

effective and appropriate material that can bring

out the essential beauty of Korean traditional craft

The material also allows me to accentuate stylistic

finishing at the same time There I add colored

clay and liquid gold to create various flows which

is the concept in the lsquoFliessenrsquo series

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or potters As I continue the concept

of lsquoFliessenrsquo through the brand called lsquoceramic

by leezeesoorsquo I was able to present variety of

patterns every year Harmony of aestheticity and

visualizing both contemporary and traditional

sensibility with white clay may be counted as the

characteristics of my work

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers I admire Lee Youngjae

who lives in Germany When I was having hard

time to choose which school I should go in

Germany to study pottery I ran into him on a

street Then he advised me to go Giebichenstein

Besides this do you have any other objects

that inspire you I am particularly impressed by

It is no doubt that his cups will be appreciated by gentlemen rather than by

the hands of usual ladies His cups are intriguing though different from usual

designs he does not either throw on the wheel or cast but make them with

slab of clay so they look like he rolled cardboards He always goes beyond

conventional methods including experimenting with combination of clay and

metal and polishing surface of ceramic instead of glazing This couldnrsquot help

to make you wonder lsquowhat is the nextrsquo

Your brand name lsquoDeep Cobaltrsquo sounds unique

What is the meaning behind it

I ran in to the phrase while reading a novel when

I was young I liked its abstract association with

lsquothe color of a deep oceanrsquo

You chose handbuilding technique with slab of

clay instead of wheel throwing or casting What

are the merits and demerits

Wheel throwing and casting technique require

postproduction process even after building

shapes and drying the clay On one hand

handbuilding method allows me to finish the

making process at the building shapes stage

without additional process It also allows me to

create the shape my porcelains a fun look of

paper On the other hand it has low success

rate and takes longer time because it requires

polishing process after second firing

Another unusual fact of the Deep Cobalt is that

it uses clay called Black Mountain instead of

normal porcelain clay What is the reason for it

First of all it is because of the color of the clay I

learned about it while I was looking for clay that

has rougher texture and color There are clays

with rough texture but no such color It fitted very

well for my work that uses minimum amount of

glaze and emphasizing natural characteristics of

clay Using heat wire (in order not to be rusted

while fired on 1200 degree) or gluing leather is

the influence from the experience of ceramic

object work I did before I started ceramic craft

Maybe that is the reason

Would you make self-assessment of the fact

why Deep Cobalt has drawn attention among

active crafters

I would say people tend to be amazed by them

rather than loving them They look different than

other craftersrsquo Would it be the reason My work

looks like rather a tin can than ceramic pot The

basic principle is being persistent attempting to

make new design I kept in mind that the cups

are drinking tool The cup is the outcome of the

design that I approached from this perspective

Which design do you think is lsquothe best of the

01 04 He flattens slab of clay and builds the shape by

rolling them like a sheet of paper

02 He recently added leather on his heat wire handle

03 Mug cups and strainer that reveals natural

characteristics of clay called lsquoBlack Mountainrsquo

best craft or deignrsquo Freitag bags Not only the

design is excellent but also the concept behind

deserves the status It recycles used seat belt

bicycle tube truck taps etc It is quite interesting

to know people still love them even though each

bag looks different from each other because it is

recycling used materials

Including artist Hyun Sanghwa what do you

think the young artists lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

If you have idea of a work you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

without hesitant

furniture designer

CHO BYUNGJU

Cho Byungju creates furniture with emphasize on

its function and characteristics of the material He

also does not hide changes that take place during

manufacturing process because his motto is all should

be able to understand and appreciate designer

furniture by its simplicity and straightforwardness

unlike the notion of designer furniture often gives out

notion of that they are difficult and complex

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Also I would like to work on Korean restaurant

that I would pour my whole energy and ability on

its furniture interior tableware etc

Ten years from now what kind of crafter or

designer you want to be considered

An artist who knows his material well

Who do you highly esteem among crafters or

designers

Furniture designer Ha Jihoon who led me to

furniture design and the architect Ando Tadao

Where the readers can purchase your work

Currently my furniture are sold at KCDF Gallery

Shop in Insadong and Dongdaemoon Design

Traditional Craftgt

ltTexturegt

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

Beside main exhibitions and KCDF special exhibition section

there were excellent complementing booths organized by

various craft brands and galleries Their participation made the

fair more interesting and exciting because we would never be

able to learn about them or they were hard to find were it not

for this fair Craft Studios Section offered works by the artists

selected through fierce competitions It is no doubt that these

crafters also had chances to meet audience and learn their

responses After all a craft is something to be completed when

they meet each other

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

ware) Kim Jaejin and Byun Jaehong (Studio Blank-

massager) Lee Kyutae (NeoENbiz-shrimp) Park Minje (Snail

Boy-rice) etchellip they are the sosengs that we are planning

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

How did you start metal craft What was the

motivation My father has been in jewelry craft

industry over 30 years I had chance to look at him

working and gradually got interested in this field

Looking closely at daily nicknacks drawing ideas

being curious about hands on processes and

enjoying to make them led me to the work today

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Hyunsung Brandrdquo

I would like to say that it is effectiveness in

function practicality simplicity and friendliness of

design

Is there an artist who influenced you And Why

Sculptor Brancusi influenced me a lot He got

rid of all the unnecessary details and his way of

condensing all the energies inside is quite inspiringIndustrial designer Dieter Rams as well as metal

crafter Koh Bohyung and Shim Hyunseok come

to my mind These two craftsmen taught me not

only through the their work but also through the

way of living and way of looking at things

04 Bronze dripper

What is most important aspect in creating

works I purposely avoid make things in perfect

and stylish form Most responses that I get

are they look a bit clumsy I make an effort to

find shapes that are imperfect or clumsy form

purposely This is to provoke the viewers to

question to a certain extend themselves about

forms I feel happiest when the void I created

leads to the conversation with the viewers

What is the best lsquomasterpiecersquo in craft or

design that you ever encountered

Not long ago I was flabbergasted by Park

Honggursquos woodenware It has the shape that

does not have any unnecessary element It is

no doubt that he knows his material so well

What do you think young crafters anddesigners including you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

I think Korea society is quite chaotic now The

worse thing is that the entire burden from such

situation is loaded on to young generationrsquos

shoulders In the society where landing on a job

they can love and being happy is impossible

choosing craft as their job is even harder I

would like to say that we should think the fact

that we made such a difficult decision as it is

and it is worthy enough to think one should

continue what they have been doing

Please tell me about your work lsquoSoSo( 小昭 )rsquo

SoSo is a set of spoon chopstick and cutlery

rest using traditional techniques from mother-

of-pearl lacquer and gilding Pendant The idea

of Ah Ottrsquo came up while working on the spoon

rest

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Lacquer+blank All of my works is finished with

lacquer in the end

What kinds of processes are needed to produce

one work SoSo for example it takes 3-4 times

of lacquering on cut wood Sometime several

more times of lacquering and grinding are

needed after gluing mother-of-pearl or gold foil in

order to set it Lastly it is finished with polishing

What is the uniqueness of lsquoKang Heejung

Brandrsquo lsquoReservednessrsquo The style that is

traditional but not classical

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers who is active in the field

It is hard to pick just one since there are so

many great designers in Korea Among foreign

designers I love Enzo Mari who is representative

of Italian Modern design and Japanese designer

Nagaoka Genmei

What drives you to continue your work

Thought that there are people who want my

work(product)

Is there an item that you would like to challenge

to create in the future I would like a chance to

design a space full with my works

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I would like to continue making things

It does not have to be a lot but constantly While

showing my own color I would like to be a crafter

who makes up-to-dated objects that people trust

and want to have

Do you have other objects that inspire you

Though the method of numbering each

ceramic tiles in the elements of ceramic

object can sound lsquonot different than otherrsquo and

disadvantageous

Yes I heard that many times People even tell me

to put a stop to it However I would not make a

big effort to change the way of working or break

the habit If the time comes that I get bored or I

wonrsquot be able to do it with some reason I would

follow the natural course I too am curious how

my work is going to be ended The same as two

characters ltWaiting for Godotgt without knowing

who Godot is I just add the tiles I am doing it as

far as I can Wouldnrsquot it be okay if one or two do

something looks stupid

Work by Bae Sejin is more of a sculpture thanceramic Do you consider yourself you are on

the border between them

I do not particularly feel the need of categorize

such thing I am on the border of this side end

and that side Next project that I am planning

will be more ambiguous in terms of the borders

But one thing is sure that I will continue to keep

01 04 Bae Sejinrsquos ltWaiting

for Godotgt

02 03 Bae Sejinrsquos sculptural

and flat object show wide

spectrum of craft

this position because I believe that craft is

something for a man devotes himself and make

it with all his heart

What issue interests you as an artist

First is adding functionality on sculptural object

(it means to make something useful in life)

Second is to reduce the size of the works For

that matter trying to make change in materials

rather than clay

Your experience with fairs abroad as

participants or attendee have influenced you

Biggest influence I get from such experience is

being motivated One thing that you constantly

have in your mind is lsquoif you are doing rightrsquo

When many people like your work in exhibitions

abroad and that leads to sales channel it can

be great motivation for your art

German word for lsquoflowrsquo While it refers to flowing pattern that two or more

colors are mixed but it also denotes psychological state in which one is

lsquoimmersed into something enough to forget time flowsrsquo Her traditional

porcelain is contemporary expression of her passion energy and juissance that

spring up when she immerses into her work

What kind of work have you created

I have created objects for a long time But I

started to add functionality in my works that is

entitled lsquoArt Deco Warersquo Cups dishes bowls

etc I am communicating with people through

art porcelain goods that emphasizes both

aestheticity and functionality

Which material do you prefer to use And Why

I normally use white clay White clay is most

effective and appropriate material that can bring

out the essential beauty of Korean traditional craft

The material also allows me to accentuate stylistic

finishing at the same time There I add colored

clay and liquid gold to create various flows which

is the concept in the lsquoFliessenrsquo series

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or potters As I continue the concept

of lsquoFliessenrsquo through the brand called lsquoceramic

by leezeesoorsquo I was able to present variety of

patterns every year Harmony of aestheticity and

visualizing both contemporary and traditional

sensibility with white clay may be counted as the

characteristics of my work

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers I admire Lee Youngjae

who lives in Germany When I was having hard

time to choose which school I should go in

Germany to study pottery I ran into him on a

street Then he advised me to go Giebichenstein

01 Gold and blue porcelain one of the lsquoFliessenrsquo series Tall cup

which is called lsquoSolid and Voidrsquo is presented as 2013 KCDF lsquoCraft

Gobang is where you can purchase Lee Zeesoorsquos work

Kunsthochschule Halle Also the works by the

late Lee Ungno inspire me

Besides this do you have any other objects

that inspire you I am particularly impressed by

paintings depicting group of people among the

late Lee Ungnorsquos oeuvre Nature bird sounds

architecture etc there are too many to pick just

one

It is no doubt that his cups will be appreciated by gentlemen rather than by

the hands of usual ladies His cups are intriguing though different from usual

designs he does not either throw on the wheel or cast but make them with

slab of clay so they look like he rolled cardboards He always goes beyond

conventional methods including experimenting with combination of clay and

metal and polishing surface of ceramic instead of glazing This couldnrsquot help

to make you wonder lsquowhat is the nextrsquo

Your brand name lsquoDeep Cobaltrsquo sounds unique

What is the meaning behind it

I ran in to the phrase while reading a novel when

I was young I liked its abstract association with

lsquothe color of a deep oceanrsquo

You chose handbuilding technique with slab of

clay instead of wheel throwing or casting What

are the merits and demerits

Wheel throwing and casting technique require

postproduction process even after building

shapes and drying the clay On one hand

handbuilding method allows me to finish the

making process at the building shapes stage

without additional process It also allows me to

create the shape my porcelains a fun look of

paper On the other hand it has low success

rate and takes longer time because it requires

polishing process after second firing

Another unusual fact of the Deep Cobalt is that

it uses clay called Black Mountain instead of

normal porcelain clay What is the reason for it

First of all it is because of the color of the clay I

learned about it while I was looking for clay that

has rougher texture and color There are clays

with rough texture but no such color It fitted very

well for my work that uses minimum amount of

glaze and emphasizing natural characteristics of

clay Using heat wire (in order not to be rusted

while fired on 1200 degree) or gluing leather is

the influence from the experience of ceramic

object work I did before I started ceramic craft

Maybe that is the reason

Would you make self-assessment of the fact

why Deep Cobalt has drawn attention among

active crafters

I would say people tend to be amazed by them

rather than loving them They look different than

other craftersrsquo Would it be the reason My work

looks like rather a tin can than ceramic pot The

basic principle is being persistent attempting to

make new design I kept in mind that the cups

are drinking tool The cup is the outcome of the

design that I approached from this perspective

Which design do you think is lsquothe best of the

01 04 He flattens slab of clay and builds the shape by

rolling them like a sheet of paper

02 He recently added leather on his heat wire handle

03 Mug cups and strainer that reveals natural

characteristics of clay called lsquoBlack Mountainrsquo

best craft or deignrsquo Freitag bags Not only the

design is excellent but also the concept behind

deserves the status It recycles used seat belt

bicycle tube truck taps etc It is quite interesting

to know people still love them even though each

bag looks different from each other because it is

recycling used materials

Including artist Hyun Sanghwa what do you

think the young artists lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

If you have idea of a work you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

without hesitant

its function and characteristics of the material He

also does not hide changes that take place during

manufacturing process because his motto is all should

be able to understand and appreciate designer

furniture by its simplicity and straightforwardness

notion of that they are difficult and complex

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Also I would like to work on Korean restaurant

that I would pour my whole energy and ability on

its furniture interior tableware etc

Ten years from now what kind of crafter or

designer you want to be considered

An artist who knows his material well

Who do you highly esteem among crafters or

designers

furniture design and the architect Ando Tadao

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

Boy-rice) etchellip they are the sosengs that we are planning

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

It snowed a lot this winter Gongju also turned into a land

of white snow Stepping on the heaped up snowfall we

have visited Gongjursquos attractions There were full of old

stories as a city of history without fail and precious relics

were boasting its grace here and there as museum without

roof Moreover the temples under the blanket of snow

looked quite romantic

How did you start metal craft What was the

motivation My father has been in jewelry craft

industry over 30 years I had chance to look at him

working and gradually got interested in this field

Looking closely at daily nicknacks drawing ideas

being curious about hands on processes and

enjoying to make them led me to the work today

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that makes ldquoKim Hyunsung Brandrdquo

I would like to say that it is effectiveness in

function practicality simplicity and friendliness of

design

Is there an artist who influenced you And Why

Sculptor Brancusi influenced me a lot He got

rid of all the unnecessary details and his way of

condensing all the energies inside is quite inspiringIndustrial designer Dieter Rams as well as metal

crafter Koh Bohyung and Shim Hyunseok come

to my mind These two craftsmen taught me not

only through the their work but also through the

way of living and way of looking at things

01 Kimrsquos presentation at Jung Soyoungrsquos

Sikijang exhibition ltThe coffee

makers+gt (20141126~1220 Arumjigi

company house Tonguidong)

02 03 His studio view

04 Bronze dripper

What is most important aspect in creating

works I purposely avoid make things in perfect

and stylish form Most responses that I get

are they look a bit clumsy I make an effort to

find shapes that are imperfect or clumsy form

purposely This is to provoke the viewers to

question to a certain extend themselves about

forms I feel happiest when the void I created

leads to the conversation with the viewers

What is the best lsquomasterpiecersquo in craft or

design that you ever encountered

Not long ago I was flabbergasted by Park

Honggursquos woodenware It has the shape that

does not have any unnecessary element It is

no doubt that he knows his material so well

What do you think young crafters anddesigners including you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

I think Korea society is quite chaotic now The

worse thing is that the entire burden from such

situation is loaded on to young generationrsquos

shoulders In the society where landing on a job

they can love and being happy is impossible

choosing craft as their job is even harder I

would like to say that we should think the fact

that we made such a difficult decision as it is

and it is worthy enough to think one should

continue what they have been doing

Where the readers can purchase your work

They can be purchased at Jung Soyoungrsquos

Please tell me about your work lsquoSoSo( 小昭 )rsquo

SoSo is a set of spoon chopstick and cutlery

rest using traditional techniques from mother-

of-pearl lacquer and gilding Pendant The idea

of Ah Ottrsquo came up while working on the spoon

rest

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Lacquer+blank All of my works is finished with

lacquer in the end

What kinds of processes are needed to produce

one work SoSo for example it takes 3-4 times

of lacquering on cut wood Sometime several

more times of lacquering and grinding are

needed after gluing mother-of-pearl or gold foil in

order to set it Lastly it is finished with polishing

What is the uniqueness of lsquoKang Heejung

Brandrsquo lsquoReservednessrsquo The style that is

traditional but not classical

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers who is active in the field

It is hard to pick just one since there are so

many great designers in Korea Among foreign

designers I love Enzo Mari who is representative

of Italian Modern design and Japanese designer

Nagaoka Genmei

What drives you to continue your work

Thought that there are people who want my

work(product)

Is there an item that you would like to challenge

to create in the future I would like a chance to

design a space full with my works

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I would like to continue making things

It does not have to be a lot but constantly While

showing my own color I would like to be a crafter

who makes up-to-dated objects that people trust

and want to have

Do you have other objects that inspire you

Though the method of numbering each

ceramic tiles in the elements of ceramic

object can sound lsquonot different than otherrsquo and

disadvantageous

Yes I heard that many times People even tell me

to put a stop to it However I would not make a

big effort to change the way of working or break

the habit If the time comes that I get bored or I

wonrsquot be able to do it with some reason I would

follow the natural course I too am curious how

my work is going to be ended The same as two

characters ltWaiting for Godotgt without knowing

who Godot is I just add the tiles I am doing it as

far as I can Wouldnrsquot it be okay if one or two do

something looks stupid

Work by Bae Sejin is more of a sculpture thanceramic Do you consider yourself you are on

the border between them

I do not particularly feel the need of categorize

such thing I am on the border of this side end

and that side Next project that I am planning

will be more ambiguous in terms of the borders

But one thing is sure that I will continue to keep

01 04 Bae Sejinrsquos ltWaiting

for Godotgt

02 03 Bae Sejinrsquos sculptural

and flat object show wide

spectrum of craft

this position because I believe that craft is

something for a man devotes himself and make

it with all his heart

What issue interests you as an artist

First is adding functionality on sculptural object

(it means to make something useful in life)

Second is to reduce the size of the works For

that matter trying to make change in materials

rather than clay

Your experience with fairs abroad as

participants or attendee have influenced you

Biggest influence I get from such experience is

being motivated One thing that you constantly

have in your mind is lsquoif you are doing rightrsquo

When many people like your work in exhibitions

abroad and that leads to sales channel it can

be great motivation for your art

LEE ZEESOO

Lee Zeesoo has created lsquoFliessenrsquo series since six years ago Fliessen is a

German word for lsquoflowrsquo While it refers to flowing pattern that two or more

colors are mixed but it also denotes psychological state in which one is

lsquoimmersed into something enough to forget time flowsrsquo Her traditional

porcelain is contemporary expression of her passion energy and juissance that

spring up when she immerses into her work

What kind of work have you created

I have created objects for a long time But I

started to add functionality in my works that is

entitled lsquoArt Deco Warersquo Cups dishes bowls

etc I am communicating with people through

art porcelain goods that emphasizes both

aestheticity and functionality

Which material do you prefer to use And Why

I normally use white clay White clay is most

effective and appropriate material that can bring

out the essential beauty of Korean traditional craft

The material also allows me to accentuate stylistic

finishing at the same time There I add colored

clay and liquid gold to create various flows which

is the concept in the lsquoFliessenrsquo series

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or potters As I continue the concept

of lsquoFliessenrsquo through the brand called lsquoceramic

by leezeesoorsquo I was able to present variety of

patterns every year Harmony of aestheticity and

visualizing both contemporary and traditional

sensibility with white clay may be counted as the

characteristics of my work

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers I admire Lee Youngjae

who lives in Germany When I was having hard

time to choose which school I should go in

Germany to study pottery I ran into him on a

street Then he advised me to go Giebichenstein

late Lee Ungno inspire me

Besides this do you have any other objects

that inspire you I am particularly impressed by

paintings depicting group of people among the

architecture etc there are too many to pick just

It is no doubt that his cups will be appreciated by gentlemen rather than by

the hands of usual ladies His cups are intriguing though different from usual

designs he does not either throw on the wheel or cast but make them with

slab of clay so they look like he rolled cardboards He always goes beyond

conventional methods including experimenting with combination of clay and

metal and polishing surface of ceramic instead of glazing This couldnrsquot help

to make you wonder lsquowhat is the nextrsquo

Your brand name lsquoDeep Cobaltrsquo sounds unique

What is the meaning behind it

I ran in to the phrase while reading a novel when

I was young I liked its abstract association with

lsquothe color of a deep oceanrsquo

You chose handbuilding technique with slab of

clay instead of wheel throwing or casting What

are the merits and demerits

Wheel throwing and casting technique require

postproduction process even after building

shapes and drying the clay On one hand

handbuilding method allows me to finish the

making process at the building shapes stage

without additional process It also allows me to

create the shape my porcelains a fun look of

paper On the other hand it has low success

rate and takes longer time because it requires

polishing process after second firing

Another unusual fact of the Deep Cobalt is that

it uses clay called Black Mountain instead of

normal porcelain clay What is the reason for it

First of all it is because of the color of the clay I

learned about it while I was looking for clay that

has rougher texture and color There are clays

with rough texture but no such color It fitted very

well for my work that uses minimum amount of

glaze and emphasizing natural characteristics of

clay Using heat wire (in order not to be rusted

while fired on 1200 degree) or gluing leather is

the influence from the experience of ceramic

object work I did before I started ceramic craft

Maybe that is the reason

Would you make self-assessment of the fact

why Deep Cobalt has drawn attention among

active crafters

I would say people tend to be amazed by them

rather than loving them They look different than

other craftersrsquo Would it be the reason My work

looks like rather a tin can than ceramic pot The

basic principle is being persistent attempting to

make new design I kept in mind that the cups

are drinking tool The cup is the outcome of the

design that I approached from this perspective

Which design do you think is lsquothe best of the

01 04 He flattens slab of clay and builds the shape by

rolling them like a sheet of paper

02 He recently added leather on his heat wire handle

03 Mug cups and strainer that reveals natural

characteristics of clay called lsquoBlack Mountainrsquo

best craft or deignrsquo Freitag bags Not only the

design is excellent but also the concept behind

deserves the status It recycles used seat belt

bicycle tube truck taps etc It is quite interesting

to know people still love them even though each

bag looks different from each other because it is

recycling used materials

Including artist Hyun Sanghwa what do you

think the young artists lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

If you have idea of a work you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

without hesitant

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Also I would like to work on Korean restaurant

that I would pour my whole energy and ability on

its furniture interior tableware etc

Ten years from now what kind of crafter or

designer you want to be considered

An artist who knows his material well

Who do you highly esteem among crafters or

designers

furniture design and the architect Ando Tadao

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

Please tell me about your work lsquoSoSo( 小昭 )rsquo

SoSo is a set of spoon chopstick and cutlery

rest using traditional techniques from mother-

of-pearl lacquer and gilding Pendant The idea

of Ah Ottrsquo came up while working on the spoon

rest

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Lacquer+blank All of my works is finished with

lacquer in the end

What kinds of processes are needed to produce

one work SoSo for example it takes 3-4 times

of lacquering on cut wood Sometime several

more times of lacquering and grinding are

needed after gluing mother-of-pearl or gold foil in

order to set it Lastly it is finished with polishing

What is the uniqueness of lsquoKang Heejung

Brandrsquo lsquoReservednessrsquo The style that is

traditional but not classical

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers who is active in the field

It is hard to pick just one since there are so

many great designers in Korea Among foreign

designers I love Enzo Mari who is representative

of Italian Modern design and Japanese designer

Nagaoka Genmei

What drives you to continue your work

Thought that there are people who want my

work(product)

Is there an item that you would like to challenge

to create in the future I would like a chance to

design a space full with my works

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I would like to continue making things

It does not have to be a lot but constantly While

showing my own color I would like to be a crafter

who makes up-to-dated objects that people trust

and want to have

Do you have other objects that inspire you

You would wonder who on earth made this brusque jar with concrete But it is a

ceramic object built with ceramic tiles that were born in grey earth Engraving

edition numbers on each tile like a signature stamp ceramist Bae Sejin record

allows us to realize the how various the spectrum craft object can be

Though the method of numbering each

ceramic tiles in the elements of ceramic

object can sound lsquonot different than otherrsquo and

disadvantageous

Yes I heard that many times People even tell me

to put a stop to it However I would not make a

big effort to change the way of working or break

the habit If the time comes that I get bored or I

wonrsquot be able to do it with some reason I would

follow the natural course I too am curious how

my work is going to be ended The same as two

characters ltWaiting for Godotgt without knowing

who Godot is I just add the tiles I am doing it as

far as I can Wouldnrsquot it be okay if one or two do

something looks stupid

Work by Bae Sejin is more of a sculpture thanceramic Do you consider yourself you are on

the border between them

I do not particularly feel the need of categorize

such thing I am on the border of this side end

and that side Next project that I am planning

will be more ambiguous in terms of the borders

But one thing is sure that I will continue to keep

01 04 Bae Sejinrsquos ltWaiting

for Godotgt

02 03 Bae Sejinrsquos sculptural

and flat object show wide

spectrum of craft

this position because I believe that craft is

something for a man devotes himself and make

it with all his heart

What issue interests you as an artist

First is adding functionality on sculptural object

(it means to make something useful in life)

Second is to reduce the size of the works For

that matter trying to make change in materials

rather than clay

Your experience with fairs abroad as

participants or attendee have influenced you

Biggest influence I get from such experience is

being motivated One thing that you constantly

have in your mind is lsquoif you are doing rightrsquo

When many people like your work in exhibitions

abroad and that leads to sales channel it can

be great motivation for your art

Lee Zeesoo has created lsquoFliessenrsquo series since six years ago Fliessen is a

German word for lsquoflowrsquo While it refers to flowing pattern that two or more

colors are mixed but it also denotes psychological state in which one is

lsquoimmersed into something enough to forget time flowsrsquo Her traditional

porcelain is contemporary expression of her passion energy and juissance that

spring up when she immerses into her work

I have created objects for a long time But I

started to add functionality in my works that is

entitled lsquoArt Deco Warersquo Cups dishes bowls

etc I am communicating with people through

art porcelain goods that emphasizes both

aestheticity and functionality

Which material do you prefer to use And Why

I normally use white clay White clay is most

effective and appropriate material that can bring

out the essential beauty of Korean traditional craft

The material also allows me to accentuate stylistic

finishing at the same time There I add colored

clay and liquid gold to create various flows which

is the concept in the lsquoFliessenrsquo series

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or potters As I continue the concept

of lsquoFliessenrsquo through the brand called lsquoceramic

by leezeesoorsquo I was able to present variety of

patterns every year Harmony of aestheticity and

visualizing both contemporary and traditional

sensibility with white clay may be counted as the

characteristics of my work

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers I admire Lee Youngjae

who lives in Germany When I was having hard

time to choose which school I should go in

Germany to study pottery I ran into him on a

street Then he advised me to go Giebichenstein

01 Gold and blue porcelain one of the lsquoFliessenrsquo series Tall cup

which is called lsquoSolid and Voidrsquo is presented as 2013 KCDF lsquoCraft

and Design Product Development Projectrsquo 02 03 Hanok Gallery

Gobang is where you can purchase Lee Zeesoorsquos work

Kunsthochschule Halle Also the works by the

late Lee Ungno inspire me

Besides this do you have any other objects

that inspire you I am particularly impressed by

paintings depicting group of people among the

late Lee Ungnorsquos oeuvre Nature bird sounds

architecture etc there are too many to pick just

one

C R A F T + D E S I G N = L I F E

It is no doubt that his cups will be appreciated by gentlemen rather than by

the hands of usual ladies His cups are intriguing though different from usual

designs he does not either throw on the wheel or cast but make them with

slab of clay so they look like he rolled cardboards He always goes beyond

conventional methods including experimenting with combination of clay and

metal and polishing surface of ceramic instead of glazing This couldnrsquot help

to make you wonder lsquowhat is the nextrsquo

Your brand name lsquoDeep Cobaltrsquo sounds unique

What is the meaning behind it

I ran in to the phrase while reading a novel when

I was young I liked its abstract association with

lsquothe color of a deep oceanrsquo

You chose handbuilding technique with slab of

clay instead of wheel throwing or casting What

are the merits and demerits

Wheel throwing and casting technique require

postproduction process even after building

shapes and drying the clay On one hand

handbuilding method allows me to finish the

making process at the building shapes stage

without additional process It also allows me to

create the shape my porcelains a fun look of

paper On the other hand it has low success

rate and takes longer time because it requires

polishing process after second firing

Another unusual fact of the Deep Cobalt is that

it uses clay called Black Mountain instead of

normal porcelain clay What is the reason for it

First of all it is because of the color of the clay I

learned about it while I was looking for clay that

has rougher texture and color There are clays

with rough texture but no such color It fitted very

well for my work that uses minimum amount of

glaze and emphasizing natural characteristics of

clay Using heat wire (in order not to be rusted

while fired on 1200 degree) or gluing leather is

the influence from the experience of ceramic

object work I did before I started ceramic craft

Maybe that is the reason

Would you make self-assessment of the fact

why Deep Cobalt has drawn attention among

active crafters

I would say people tend to be amazed by them

rather than loving them They look different than

other craftersrsquo Would it be the reason My work

looks like rather a tin can than ceramic pot The

basic principle is being persistent attempting to

make new design I kept in mind that the cups

are drinking tool The cup is the outcome of the

design that I approached from this perspective

Which design do you think is lsquothe best of the

01 04 He flattens slab of clay and builds the shape by

rolling them like a sheet of paper

02 He recently added leather on his heat wire handle

03 Mug cups and strainer that reveals natural

characteristics of clay called lsquoBlack Mountainrsquo

best craft or deignrsquo Freitag bags Not only the

design is excellent but also the concept behind

deserves the status It recycles used seat belt

bicycle tube truck taps etc It is quite interesting

to know people still love them even though each

bag looks different from each other because it is

recycling used materials

Including artist Hyun Sanghwa what do you

think the young artists lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

If you have idea of a work you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

without hesitant

CHO BYUNGJU

Cho Byungju creates furniture with emphasize on

its function and characteristics of the material He

also does not hide changes that take place during

manufacturing process because his motto is all should

be able to understand and appreciate designer

furniture by its simplicity and straightforwardness

unlike the notion of designer furniture often gives out

notion of that they are difficult and complex

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Also I would like to work on Korean restaurant

that I would pour my whole energy and ability on

its furniture interior tableware etc

Ten years from now what kind of crafter or

designer you want to be considered

An artist who knows his material well

Who do you highly esteem among crafters or

designers

furniture design and the architect Ando Tadao

ltTexturegt

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

Boy-rice) etchellip they are the sosengs that we are planning

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

Please tell me about your work lsquoSoSo( 小昭 )rsquo

SoSo is a set of spoon chopstick and cutlery

rest using traditional techniques from mother-

of-pearl lacquer and gilding Pendant The idea

of Ah Ottrsquo came up while working on the spoon

rest

If you sum up your art into one sentence

Lacquer+blank All of my works is finished with

lacquer in the end

What kinds of processes are needed to produce

one work SoSo for example it takes 3-4 times

of lacquering on cut wood Sometime several

more times of lacquering and grinding are

needed after gluing mother-of-pearl or gold foil in

order to set it Lastly it is finished with polishing

What is the uniqueness of lsquoKang Heejung

Brandrsquo lsquoReservednessrsquo The style that is

traditional but not classical

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers who is active in the field

It is hard to pick just one since there are so

many great designers in Korea Among foreign

designers I love Enzo Mari who is representative

of Italian Modern design and Japanese designer

Nagaoka Genmei

What drives you to continue your work

Thought that there are people who want my

work(product)

Is there an item that you would like to challenge

to create in the future I would like a chance to

design a space full with my works

What kind of crafter do you want to be called in

ten years I would like to continue making things

It does not have to be a lot but constantly While

showing my own color I would like to be a crafter

who makes up-to-dated objects that people trust

and want to have

Do you have other objects that inspire you

Though the method of numbering each

ceramic tiles in the elements of ceramic

object can sound lsquonot different than otherrsquo and

disadvantageous

Yes I heard that many times People even tell me

to put a stop to it However I would not make a

big effort to change the way of working or break

the habit If the time comes that I get bored or I

wonrsquot be able to do it with some reason I would

follow the natural course I too am curious how

my work is going to be ended The same as two

characters ltWaiting for Godotgt without knowing

who Godot is I just add the tiles I am doing it as

far as I can Wouldnrsquot it be okay if one or two do

something looks stupid

Work by Bae Sejin is more of a sculpture thanceramic Do you consider yourself you are on

the border between them

I do not particularly feel the need of categorize

such thing I am on the border of this side end

and that side Next project that I am planning

will be more ambiguous in terms of the borders

But one thing is sure that I will continue to keep

01 04 Bae Sejinrsquos ltWaiting

for Godotgt

02 03 Bae Sejinrsquos sculptural

and flat object show wide

spectrum of craft

this position because I believe that craft is

something for a man devotes himself and make

it with all his heart

What issue interests you as an artist

First is adding functionality on sculptural object

(it means to make something useful in life)

Second is to reduce the size of the works For

that matter trying to make change in materials

rather than clay

Your experience with fairs abroad as

participants or attendee have influenced you

Biggest influence I get from such experience is

being motivated One thing that you constantly

have in your mind is lsquoif you are doing rightrsquo

When many people like your work in exhibitions

abroad and that leads to sales channel it can

be great motivation for your art

LEE ZEESOO

Lee Zeesoo has created lsquoFliessenrsquo series since six years ago Fliessen is a

German word for lsquoflowrsquo While it refers to flowing pattern that two or more

colors are mixed but it also denotes psychological state in which one is

lsquoimmersed into something enough to forget time flowsrsquo Her traditional

porcelain is contemporary expression of her passion energy and juissance that

spring up when she immerses into her work

What kind of work have you created

I have created objects for a long time But I

started to add functionality in my works that is

entitled lsquoArt Deco Warersquo Cups dishes bowls

etc I am communicating with people through

art porcelain goods that emphasizes both

aestheticity and functionality

Which material do you prefer to use And Why

I normally use white clay White clay is most

effective and appropriate material that can bring

out the essential beauty of Korean traditional craft

The material also allows me to accentuate stylistic

finishing at the same time There I add colored

clay and liquid gold to create various flows which

is the concept in the lsquoFliessenrsquo series

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or potters As I continue the concept

of lsquoFliessenrsquo through the brand called lsquoceramic

by leezeesoorsquo I was able to present variety of

patterns every year Harmony of aestheticity and

visualizing both contemporary and traditional

sensibility with white clay may be counted as the

characteristics of my work

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers I admire Lee Youngjae

who lives in Germany When I was having hard

time to choose which school I should go in

Germany to study pottery I ran into him on a

street Then he advised me to go Giebichenstein

Gobang is where you can purchase Lee Zeesoorsquos work

Kunsthochschule Halle Also the works by the

late Lee Ungno inspire me

Besides this do you have any other objects

that inspire you I am particularly impressed by

paintings depicting group of people among the

late Lee Ungnorsquos oeuvre Nature bird sounds

architecture etc there are too many to pick just

one

It is no doubt that his cups will be appreciated by gentlemen rather than by

the hands of usual ladies His cups are intriguing though different from usual

designs he does not either throw on the wheel or cast but make them with

slab of clay so they look like he rolled cardboards He always goes beyond

conventional methods including experimenting with combination of clay and

metal and polishing surface of ceramic instead of glazing This couldnrsquot help

to make you wonder lsquowhat is the nextrsquo

Your brand name lsquoDeep Cobaltrsquo sounds unique

What is the meaning behind it

I ran in to the phrase while reading a novel when

I was young I liked its abstract association with

lsquothe color of a deep oceanrsquo

You chose handbuilding technique with slab of

clay instead of wheel throwing or casting What

are the merits and demerits

Wheel throwing and casting technique require

postproduction process even after building

shapes and drying the clay On one hand

handbuilding method allows me to finish the

making process at the building shapes stage

without additional process It also allows me to

create the shape my porcelains a fun look of

paper On the other hand it has low success

rate and takes longer time because it requires

polishing process after second firing

Another unusual fact of the Deep Cobalt is that

it uses clay called Black Mountain instead of

normal porcelain clay What is the reason for it

First of all it is because of the color of the clay I

learned about it while I was looking for clay that

has rougher texture and color There are clays

with rough texture but no such color It fitted very

well for my work that uses minimum amount of

glaze and emphasizing natural characteristics of

clay Using heat wire (in order not to be rusted

while fired on 1200 degree) or gluing leather is

the influence from the experience of ceramic

object work I did before I started ceramic craft

Maybe that is the reason

Would you make self-assessment of the fact

why Deep Cobalt has drawn attention among

active crafters

I would say people tend to be amazed by them

rather than loving them They look different than

other craftersrsquo Would it be the reason My work

looks like rather a tin can than ceramic pot The

basic principle is being persistent attempting to

make new design I kept in mind that the cups

are drinking tool The cup is the outcome of the

design that I approached from this perspective

Which design do you think is lsquothe best of the

01 04 He flattens slab of clay and builds the shape by

rolling them like a sheet of paper

02 He recently added leather on his heat wire handle

03 Mug cups and strainer that reveals natural

characteristics of clay called lsquoBlack Mountainrsquo

best craft or deignrsquo Freitag bags Not only the

design is excellent but also the concept behind

deserves the status It recycles used seat belt

bicycle tube truck taps etc It is quite interesting

to know people still love them even though each

bag looks different from each other because it is

recycling used materials

Including artist Hyun Sanghwa what do you

think the young artists lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

If you have idea of a work you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

without hesitant

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Also I would like to work on Korean restaurant

that I would pour my whole energy and ability on

its furniture interior tableware etc

Ten years from now what kind of crafter or

designer you want to be considered

An artist who knows his material well

Who do you highly esteem among crafters or

designers

furniture design and the architect Ando Tadao

ltConstancy amp

Change in Korean

Traditional Craftgt

ltTexturegt

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

able to learn about them or they were hard to find were it not

selected through fierce competitions It is no doubt that these

crafters also had chances to meet audience and learn their

responses After all a craft is something to be completed when

they meet each other

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

Boy-rice) etchellip they are the sosengs that we are planning

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

of white snow Stepping on the heaped up snowfall we

have visited Gongjursquos attractions There were full of old

stories as a city of history without fail and precious relics

were boasting its grace here and there as museum without

roof Moreover the temples under the blanket of snow

looked quite romantic

You would wonder who on earth made this brusque jar with concrete But it is a

ceramic object built with ceramic tiles that were born in grey earth Engraving

edition numbers on each tile like a signature stamp ceramist Bae Sejin record

the time of his own It was foreign collectors who recognized his work that

allows us to realize the how various the spectrum craft object can be

Though the method of numbering each

ceramic tiles in the elements of ceramic

object can sound lsquonot different than otherrsquo and

disadvantageous

Yes I heard that many times People even tell me

to put a stop to it However I would not make a

big effort to change the way of working or break

the habit If the time comes that I get bored or I

wonrsquot be able to do it with some reason I would

follow the natural course I too am curious how

my work is going to be ended The same as two

characters ltWaiting for Godotgt without knowing

who Godot is I just add the tiles I am doing it as

far as I can Wouldnrsquot it be okay if one or two do

something looks stupid

Work by Bae Sejin is more of a sculpture thanceramic Do you consider yourself you are on

the border between them

I do not particularly feel the need of categorize

such thing I am on the border of this side end

and that side Next project that I am planning

will be more ambiguous in terms of the borders

But one thing is sure that I will continue to keep

01 04 Bae Sejinrsquos ltWaiting

for Godotgt

02 03 Bae Sejinrsquos sculptural

and flat object show wide

spectrum of craft

this position because I believe that craft is

something for a man devotes himself and make

it with all his heart

What issue interests you as an artist

First is adding functionality on sculptural object

(it means to make something useful in life)

Second is to reduce the size of the works For

that matter trying to make change in materials

rather than clay

Your experience with fairs abroad as

participants or attendee have influenced you

Biggest influence I get from such experience is

being motivated One thing that you constantly

have in your mind is lsquoif you are doing rightrsquo

When many people like your work in exhibitions

abroad and that leads to sales channel it can

be great motivation for your art

LEE ZEESOO

Lee Zeesoo has created lsquoFliessenrsquo series since six years ago Fliessen is a

German word for lsquoflowrsquo While it refers to flowing pattern that two or more

colors are mixed but it also denotes psychological state in which one is

lsquoimmersed into something enough to forget time flowsrsquo Her traditional

porcelain is contemporary expression of her passion energy and juissance that

spring up when she immerses into her work

What kind of work have you created

I have created objects for a long time But I

started to add functionality in my works that is

entitled lsquoArt Deco Warersquo Cups dishes bowls

etc I am communicating with people through

art porcelain goods that emphasizes both

aestheticity and functionality

Which material do you prefer to use And Why

I normally use white clay White clay is most

effective and appropriate material that can bring

out the essential beauty of Korean traditional craft

The material also allows me to accentuate stylistic

finishing at the same time There I add colored

clay and liquid gold to create various flows which

is the concept in the lsquoFliessenrsquo series

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or potters As I continue the concept

of lsquoFliessenrsquo through the brand called lsquoceramic

by leezeesoorsquo I was able to present variety of

patterns every year Harmony of aestheticity and

visualizing both contemporary and traditional

sensibility with white clay may be counted as the

characteristics of my work

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers I admire Lee Youngjae

who lives in Germany When I was having hard

time to choose which school I should go in

Germany to study pottery I ran into him on a

street Then he advised me to go Giebichenstein

01 Gold and blue porcelain one of the lsquoFliessenrsquo series Tall cup

which is called lsquoSolid and Voidrsquo is presented as 2013 KCDF lsquoCraft

Gobang is where you can purchase Lee Zeesoorsquos work

Kunsthochschule Halle Also the works by the

late Lee Ungno inspire me

Besides this do you have any other objects

that inspire you I am particularly impressed by

paintings depicting group of people among the

late Lee Ungnorsquos oeuvre Nature bird sounds

architecture etc there are too many to pick just

one

C R A F T + D E S I G N = L I F E

It is no doubt that his cups will be appreciated by gentlemen rather than by

the hands of usual ladies His cups are intriguing though different from usual

designs he does not either throw on the wheel or cast but make them with

slab of clay so they look like he rolled cardboards He always goes beyond

conventional methods including experimenting with combination of clay and

metal and polishing surface of ceramic instead of glazing This couldnrsquot help

to make you wonder lsquowhat is the nextrsquo

Your brand name lsquoDeep Cobaltrsquo sounds unique

What is the meaning behind it

I ran in to the phrase while reading a novel when

I was young I liked its abstract association with

lsquothe color of a deep oceanrsquo

You chose handbuilding technique with slab of

clay instead of wheel throwing or casting What

are the merits and demerits

Wheel throwing and casting technique require

postproduction process even after building

shapes and drying the clay On one hand

handbuilding method allows me to finish the

making process at the building shapes stage

without additional process It also allows me to

create the shape my porcelains a fun look of

paper On the other hand it has low success

rate and takes longer time because it requires

polishing process after second firing

Another unusual fact of the Deep Cobalt is that

it uses clay called Black Mountain instead of

normal porcelain clay What is the reason for it

First of all it is because of the color of the clay I

learned about it while I was looking for clay that

has rougher texture and color There are clays

with rough texture but no such color It fitted very

well for my work that uses minimum amount of

glaze and emphasizing natural characteristics of

clay Using heat wire (in order not to be rusted

while fired on 1200 degree) or gluing leather is

the influence from the experience of ceramic

object work I did before I started ceramic craft

Maybe that is the reason

Would you make self-assessment of the fact

why Deep Cobalt has drawn attention among

active crafters

I would say people tend to be amazed by them

rather than loving them They look different than

other craftersrsquo Would it be the reason My work

looks like rather a tin can than ceramic pot The

basic principle is being persistent attempting to

make new design I kept in mind that the cups

are drinking tool The cup is the outcome of the

design that I approached from this perspective

Which design do you think is lsquothe best of the

01 04 He flattens slab of clay and builds the shape by

rolling them like a sheet of paper

02 He recently added leather on his heat wire handle

03 Mug cups and strainer that reveals natural

characteristics of clay called lsquoBlack Mountainrsquo

best craft or deignrsquo Freitag bags Not only the

design is excellent but also the concept behind

deserves the status It recycles used seat belt

bicycle tube truck taps etc It is quite interesting

to know people still love them even though each

bag looks different from each other because it is

recycling used materials

Including artist Hyun Sanghwa what do you

think the young artists lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

If you have idea of a work you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

without hesitant

Cho Byungju creates furniture with emphasize on

its function and characteristics of the material He

also does not hide changes that take place during

manufacturing process because his motto is all should

be able to understand and appreciate designer

furniture by its simplicity and straightforwardness

notion of that they are difficult and complex

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Also I would like to work on Korean restaurant

that I would pour my whole energy and ability on

its furniture interior tableware etc

Ten years from now what kind of crafter or

designer you want to be considered

An artist who knows his material well

Who do you highly esteem among crafters or

designers

furniture design and the architect Ando Tadao

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

Though the method of numbering each

ceramic tiles in the elements of ceramic

object can sound lsquonot different than otherrsquo and

disadvantageous

Yes I heard that many times People even tell me

to put a stop to it However I would not make a

big effort to change the way of working or break

the habit If the time comes that I get bored or I

wonrsquot be able to do it with some reason I would

follow the natural course I too am curious how

my work is going to be ended The same as two

characters ltWaiting for Godotgt without knowing

who Godot is I just add the tiles I am doing it as

far as I can Wouldnrsquot it be okay if one or two do

something looks stupid

Work by Bae Sejin is more of a sculpture thanceramic Do you consider yourself you are on

the border between them

I do not particularly feel the need of categorize

such thing I am on the border of this side end

and that side Next project that I am planning

will be more ambiguous in terms of the borders

But one thing is sure that I will continue to keep

01 04 Bae Sejinrsquos ltWaiting

for Godotgt

02 03 Bae Sejinrsquos sculptural

and flat object show wide

spectrum of craft

this position because I believe that craft is

something for a man devotes himself and make

it with all his heart

What issue interests you as an artist

First is adding functionality on sculptural object

(it means to make something useful in life)

Second is to reduce the size of the works For

that matter trying to make change in materials

rather than clay

Your experience with fairs abroad as

participants or attendee have influenced you

Biggest influence I get from such experience is

being motivated One thing that you constantly

have in your mind is lsquoif you are doing rightrsquo

When many people like your work in exhibitions

abroad and that leads to sales channel it can

be great motivation for your art

LEE ZEESOO

Lee Zeesoo has created lsquoFliessenrsquo series since six years ago Fliessen is a

German word for lsquoflowrsquo While it refers to flowing pattern that two or more

colors are mixed but it also denotes psychological state in which one is

lsquoimmersed into something enough to forget time flowsrsquo Her traditional

porcelain is contemporary expression of her passion energy and juissance that

spring up when she immerses into her work

What kind of work have you created

I have created objects for a long time But I

started to add functionality in my works that is

entitled lsquoArt Deco Warersquo Cups dishes bowls

etc I am communicating with people through

art porcelain goods that emphasizes both

aestheticity and functionality

Which material do you prefer to use And Why

I normally use white clay White clay is most

effective and appropriate material that can bring

out the essential beauty of Korean traditional craft

The material also allows me to accentuate stylistic

finishing at the same time There I add colored

clay and liquid gold to create various flows which

is the concept in the lsquoFliessenrsquo series

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or potters As I continue the concept

of lsquoFliessenrsquo through the brand called lsquoceramic

by leezeesoorsquo I was able to present variety of

patterns every year Harmony of aestheticity and

visualizing both contemporary and traditional

sensibility with white clay may be counted as the

characteristics of my work

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers I admire Lee Youngjae

who lives in Germany When I was having hard

time to choose which school I should go in

Germany to study pottery I ran into him on a

street Then he advised me to go Giebichenstein

01 Gold and blue porcelain one of the lsquoFliessenrsquo series Tall cup

which is called lsquoSolid and Voidrsquo is presented as 2013 KCDF lsquoCraft

and Design Product Development Projectrsquo 02 03 Hanok Gallery

Gobang is where you can purchase Lee Zeesoorsquos work

Kunsthochschule Halle Also the works by the

late Lee Ungno inspire me

Besides this do you have any other objects

that inspire you I am particularly impressed by

paintings depicting group of people among the

late Lee Ungnorsquos oeuvre Nature bird sounds

architecture etc there are too many to pick just

one

They can be purchased at Gobang Art amp Culture

It is no doubt that his cups will be appreciated by gentlemen rather than by

the hands of usual ladies His cups are intriguing though different from usual

designs he does not either throw on the wheel or cast but make them with

slab of clay so they look like he rolled cardboards He always goes beyond

conventional methods including experimenting with combination of clay and

metal and polishing surface of ceramic instead of glazing This couldnrsquot help

to make you wonder lsquowhat is the nextrsquo

Your brand name lsquoDeep Cobaltrsquo sounds unique

What is the meaning behind it

I ran in to the phrase while reading a novel when

I was young I liked its abstract association with

lsquothe color of a deep oceanrsquo

You chose handbuilding technique with slab of

clay instead of wheel throwing or casting What

are the merits and demerits

Wheel throwing and casting technique require

postproduction process even after building

shapes and drying the clay On one hand

handbuilding method allows me to finish the

making process at the building shapes stage

without additional process It also allows me to

create the shape my porcelains a fun look of

paper On the other hand it has low success

rate and takes longer time because it requires

polishing process after second firing

Another unusual fact of the Deep Cobalt is that

it uses clay called Black Mountain instead of

normal porcelain clay What is the reason for it

First of all it is because of the color of the clay I

learned about it while I was looking for clay that

has rougher texture and color There are clays

with rough texture but no such color It fitted very

well for my work that uses minimum amount of

glaze and emphasizing natural characteristics of

clay Using heat wire (in order not to be rusted

while fired on 1200 degree) or gluing leather is

the influence from the experience of ceramic

object work I did before I started ceramic craft

Maybe that is the reason

Would you make self-assessment of the fact

why Deep Cobalt has drawn attention among

active crafters

I would say people tend to be amazed by them

rather than loving them They look different than

other craftersrsquo Would it be the reason My work

looks like rather a tin can than ceramic pot The

basic principle is being persistent attempting to

make new design I kept in mind that the cups

are drinking tool The cup is the outcome of the

design that I approached from this perspective

Which design do you think is lsquothe best of the

01 04 He flattens slab of clay and builds the shape by

rolling them like a sheet of paper

02 He recently added leather on his heat wire handle

03 Mug cups and strainer that reveals natural

characteristics of clay called lsquoBlack Mountainrsquo

best craft or deignrsquo Freitag bags Not only the

design is excellent but also the concept behind

deserves the status It recycles used seat belt

bicycle tube truck taps etc It is quite interesting

to know people still love them even though each

bag looks different from each other because it is

recycling used materials

Including artist Hyun Sanghwa what do you

think the young artists lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

If you have idea of a work you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

without hesitant

Cho Byungju creates furniture with emphasize on

its function and characteristics of the material He

also does not hide changes that take place during

manufacturing process because his motto is all should

be able to understand and appreciate designer

furniture by its simplicity and straightforwardness

notion of that they are difficult and complex

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Also I would like to work on Korean restaurant

that I would pour my whole energy and ability on

its furniture interior tableware etc

Ten years from now what kind of crafter or

designer you want to be considered

An artist who knows his material well

Who do you highly esteem among crafters or

designers

Furniture designer Ha Jihoon who led me to

furniture design and the architect Ando Tadao

ltTexturegt

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

Boy-rice) etchellip they are the sosengs that we are planning

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

of white snow Stepping on the heaped up snowfall we

have visited Gongjursquos attractions There were full of old

stories as a city of history without fail and precious relics

were boasting its grace here and there as museum without

roof Moreover the temples under the blanket of snow

looked quite romantic

LEE ZEESOO

Lee Zeesoo has created lsquoFliessenrsquo series since six years ago Fliessen is a

German word for lsquoflowrsquo While it refers to flowing pattern that two or more

colors are mixed but it also denotes psychological state in which one is

lsquoimmersed into something enough to forget time flowsrsquo Her traditional

porcelain is contemporary expression of her passion energy and juissance that

spring up when she immerses into her work

What kind of work have you created

I have created objects for a long time But I

started to add functionality in my works that is

entitled lsquoArt Deco Warersquo Cups dishes bowls

etc I am communicating with people through

art porcelain goods that emphasizes both

aestheticity and functionality

Which material do you prefer to use And Why

I normally use white clay White clay is most

effective and appropriate material that can bring

out the essential beauty of Korean traditional craft

The material also allows me to accentuate stylistic

finishing at the same time There I add colored

clay and liquid gold to create various flows which

is the concept in the lsquoFliessenrsquo series

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or potters As I continue the concept

of lsquoFliessenrsquo through the brand called lsquoceramic

by leezeesoorsquo I was able to present variety of

patterns every year Harmony of aestheticity and

visualizing both contemporary and traditional

sensibility with white clay may be counted as the

characteristics of my work

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers I admire Lee Youngjae

who lives in Germany When I was having hard

time to choose which school I should go in

Germany to study pottery I ran into him on a

street Then he advised me to go Giebichenstein

01 Gold and blue porcelain one of the lsquoFliessenrsquo series Tall cup

which is called lsquoSolid and Voidrsquo is presented as 2013 KCDF lsquoCraft

and Design Product Development Projectrsquo 02 03 Hanok Gallery

Gobang is where you can purchase Lee Zeesoorsquos work

Kunsthochschule Halle Also the works by the

late Lee Ungno inspire me

Besides this do you have any other objects

that inspire you I am particularly impressed by

paintings depicting group of people among the

late Lee Ungnorsquos oeuvre Nature bird sounds

architecture etc there are too many to pick just

one

Where the readers can purchase your work

They can be purchased at Gobang Art amp Culture

Space in Gyedong and KCDF Gallery Shop in

Insadong

HYUN SANGHWA

C R A F T + D E S I G N = L I F E

It is no doubt that his cups will be appreciated by gentlemen rather than by

the hands of usual ladies His cups are intriguing though different from usual

designs he does not either throw on the wheel or cast but make them with

slab of clay so they look like he rolled cardboards He always goes beyond

conventional methods including experimenting with combination of clay and

metal and polishing surface of ceramic instead of glazing This couldnrsquot help

to make you wonder lsquowhat is the nextrsquo

Your brand name lsquoDeep Cobaltrsquo sounds unique

What is the meaning behind it

I ran in to the phrase while reading a novel when

I was young I liked its abstract association with

lsquothe color of a deep oceanrsquo

You chose handbuilding technique with slab of

clay instead of wheel throwing or casting What

are the merits and demerits

Wheel throwing and casting technique require

postproduction process even after building

shapes and drying the clay On one hand

handbuilding method allows me to finish the

making process at the building shapes stage

without additional process It also allows me to

create the shape my porcelains a fun look of

paper On the other hand it has low success

rate and takes longer time because it requires

polishing process after second firing

Another unusual fact of the Deep Cobalt is that

it uses clay called Black Mountain instead of

normal porcelain clay What is the reason for it

First of all it is because of the color of the clay I

learned about it while I was looking for clay that

has rougher texture and color There are clays

with rough texture but no such color It fitted very

well for my work that uses minimum amount of

glaze and emphasizing natural characteristics of

clay Using heat wire (in order not to be rusted

while fired on 1200 degree) or gluing leather is

the influence from the experience of ceramic

object work I did before I started ceramic craft

Maybe that is the reason

Would you make self-assessment of the fact

why Deep Cobalt has drawn attention among

active crafters

I would say people tend to be amazed by them

rather than loving them They look different than

other craftersrsquo Would it be the reason My work

looks like rather a tin can than ceramic pot The

basic principle is being persistent attempting to

make new design I kept in mind that the cups

are drinking tool The cup is the outcome of the

design that I approached from this perspective

Which design do you think is lsquothe best of the

01 04 He flattens slab of clay and builds the shape by

rolling them like a sheet of paper

02 He recently added leather on his heat wire handle

03 Mug cups and strainer that reveals natural

characteristics of clay called lsquoBlack Mountainrsquo

best craft or deignrsquo Freitag bags Not only the

design is excellent but also the concept behind

deserves the status It recycles used seat belt

bicycle tube truck taps etc It is quite interesting

to know people still love them even though each

bag looks different from each other because it is

recycling used materials

Including artist Hyun Sanghwa what do you

think the young artists lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

If you have idea of a work you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

without hesitant

furniture designer

CHO BYUNGJU

Cho Byungju creates furniture with emphasize on

its function and characteristics of the material He

also does not hide changes that take place during

manufacturing process because his motto is all should

be able to understand and appreciate designer

furniture by its simplicity and straightforwardness

unlike the notion of designer furniture often gives out

notion of that they are difficult and complex

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Also I would like to work on Korean restaurant

that I would pour my whole energy and ability on

its furniture interior tableware etc

Ten years from now what kind of crafter or

designer you want to be considered

An artist who knows his material well

Who do you highly esteem among crafters or

designers

Furniture designer Ha Jihoon who led me to

furniture design and the architect Ando Tadao

Traditional Craftgt

ltTexturegt

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

Boy-rice) etchellip they are the sosengs that we are planning

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

What kind of work have you created

I have created objects for a long time But I

started to add functionality in my works that is

entitled lsquoArt Deco Warersquo Cups dishes bowls

etc I am communicating with people through

art porcelain goods that emphasizes both

aestheticity and functionality

Which material do you prefer to use And Why

I normally use white clay White clay is most

effective and appropriate material that can bring

out the essential beauty of Korean traditional craft

The material also allows me to accentuate stylistic

finishing at the same time There I add colored

clay and liquid gold to create various flows which

is the concept in the lsquoFliessenrsquo series

What in your mind is the uniqueness of

your work that differentiates you from other

designers or potters As I continue the concept

of lsquoFliessenrsquo through the brand called lsquoceramic

by leezeesoorsquo I was able to present variety of

patterns every year Harmony of aestheticity and

visualizing both contemporary and traditional

sensibility with white clay may be counted as the

characteristics of my work

Is there someone you highly esteem among

crafters or designers I admire Lee Youngjae

who lives in Germany When I was having hard

time to choose which school I should go in

Germany to study pottery I ran into him on a

street Then he advised me to go Giebichenstein

01 Gold and blue porcelain one of the lsquoFliessenrsquo series Tall cup

which is called lsquoSolid and Voidrsquo is presented as 2013 KCDF lsquoCraft

and Design Product Development Projectrsquo 02 03 Hanok Gallery

Gobang is where you can purchase Lee Zeesoorsquos work

Kunsthochschule Halle Also the works by the

late Lee Ungno inspire me

Besides this do you have any other objects

that inspire you I am particularly impressed by

paintings depicting group of people among the

late Lee Ungnorsquos oeuvre Nature bird sounds

architecture etc there are too many to pick just

one

Where the readers can purchase your work

They can be purchased at Gobang Art amp Culture

Space in Gyedong and KCDF Gallery Shop in

C R A F T + D E S I G N = L I F E

It is no doubt that his cups will be appreciated by gentlemen rather than by

the hands of usual ladies His cups are intriguing though different from usual

designs he does not either throw on the wheel or cast but make them with

slab of clay so they look like he rolled cardboards He always goes beyond

conventional methods including experimenting with combination of clay and

metal and polishing surface of ceramic instead of glazing This couldnrsquot help

to make you wonder lsquowhat is the nextrsquo

Your brand name lsquoDeep Cobaltrsquo sounds unique

What is the meaning behind it

I ran in to the phrase while reading a novel when

I was young I liked its abstract association with

lsquothe color of a deep oceanrsquo

You chose handbuilding technique with slab of

clay instead of wheel throwing or casting What

are the merits and demerits

Wheel throwing and casting technique require

postproduction process even after building

shapes and drying the clay On one hand

handbuilding method allows me to finish the

making process at the building shapes stage

without additional process It also allows me to

create the shape my porcelains a fun look of

paper On the other hand it has low success

rate and takes longer time because it requires

polishing process after second firing

Another unusual fact of the Deep Cobalt is that

it uses clay called Black Mountain instead of

normal porcelain clay What is the reason for it

First of all it is because of the color of the clay I

learned about it while I was looking for clay that

has rougher texture and color There are clays

with rough texture but no such color It fitted very

well for my work that uses minimum amount of

glaze and emphasizing natural characteristics of

clay Using heat wire (in order not to be rusted

while fired on 1200 degree) or gluing leather is

the influence from the experience of ceramic

object work I did before I started ceramic craft

Maybe that is the reason

Would you make self-assessment of the fact

why Deep Cobalt has drawn attention among

active crafters

I would say people tend to be amazed by them

rather than loving them They look different than

other craftersrsquo Would it be the reason My work

looks like rather a tin can than ceramic pot The

basic principle is being persistent attempting to

make new design I kept in mind that the cups

are drinking tool The cup is the outcome of the

design that I approached from this perspective

Which design do you think is lsquothe best of the

01 04 He flattens slab of clay and builds the shape by

rolling them like a sheet of paper

02 He recently added leather on his heat wire handle

03 Mug cups and strainer that reveals natural

characteristics of clay called lsquoBlack Mountainrsquo

best craft or deignrsquo Freitag bags Not only the

design is excellent but also the concept behind

deserves the status It recycles used seat belt

bicycle tube truck taps etc It is quite interesting

to know people still love them even though each

bag looks different from each other because it is

recycling used materials

Including artist Hyun Sanghwa what do you

think the young artists lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

If you have idea of a work you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

without hesitant

CHO BYUNGJU

Cho Byungju creates furniture with emphasize on

its function and characteristics of the material He

also does not hide changes that take place during

manufacturing process because his motto is all should

be able to understand and appreciate designer

furniture by its simplicity and straightforwardness

unlike the notion of designer furniture often gives out

notion of that they are difficult and complex

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Also I would like to work on Korean restaurant

that I would pour my whole energy and ability on

its furniture interior tableware etc

Ten years from now what kind of crafter or

designer you want to be considered

An artist who knows his material well

Who do you highly esteem among crafters or

designers

furniture design and the architect Ando Tadao

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

It is no doubt that his cups will be appreciated by gentlemen rather than by

the hands of usual ladies His cups are intriguing though different from usual

designs he does not either throw on the wheel or cast but make them with

slab of clay so they look like he rolled cardboards He always goes beyond

conventional methods including experimenting with combination of clay and

metal and polishing surface of ceramic instead of glazing This couldnrsquot help

to make you wonder lsquowhat is the nextrsquo

Your brand name lsquoDeep Cobaltrsquo sounds unique

What is the meaning behind it

I ran in to the phrase while reading a novel when

I was young I liked its abstract association with

lsquothe color of a deep oceanrsquo

You chose handbuilding technique with slab of

clay instead of wheel throwing or casting What

are the merits and demerits

Wheel throwing and casting technique require

postproduction process even after building

shapes and drying the clay On one hand

handbuilding method allows me to finish the

making process at the building shapes stage

without additional process It also allows me to

create the shape my porcelains a fun look of

paper On the other hand it has low success

rate and takes longer time because it requires

polishing process after second firing

Another unusual fact of the Deep Cobalt is that

it uses clay called Black Mountain instead of

normal porcelain clay What is the reason for it

First of all it is because of the color of the clay I

learned about it while I was looking for clay that

has rougher texture and color There are clays

with rough texture but no such color It fitted very

well for my work that uses minimum amount of

glaze and emphasizing natural characteristics of

clay Using heat wire (in order not to be rusted

while fired on 1200 degree) or gluing leather is

the influence from the experience of ceramic

object work I did before I started ceramic craft

Maybe that is the reason

Would you make self-assessment of the fact

why Deep Cobalt has drawn attention among

active crafters

I would say people tend to be amazed by them

rather than loving them They look different than

other craftersrsquo Would it be the reason My work

looks like rather a tin can than ceramic pot The

basic principle is being persistent attempting to

make new design I kept in mind that the cups

are drinking tool The cup is the outcome of the

design that I approached from this perspective

Which design do you think is lsquothe best of the

01 04 He flattens slab of clay and builds the shape by

rolling them like a sheet of paper

02 He recently added leather on his heat wire handle

03 Mug cups and strainer that reveals natural

characteristics of clay called lsquoBlack Mountainrsquo

best craft or deignrsquo Freitag bags Not only the

design is excellent but also the concept behind

deserves the status It recycles used seat belt

bicycle tube truck taps etc It is quite interesting

to know people still love them even though each

bag looks different from each other because it is

recycling used materials

Including artist Hyun Sanghwa what do you

think the young artists lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

If you have idea of a work you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

without hesitant

CHO BYUNGJU

Cho Byungju creates furniture with emphasize on

its function and characteristics of the material He

also does not hide changes that take place during

manufacturing process because his motto is all should

be able to understand and appreciate designer

furniture by its simplicity and straightforwardness

unlike the notion of designer furniture often gives out

notion of that they are difficult and complex

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Also I would like to work on Korean restaurant

that I would pour my whole energy and ability on

its furniture interior tableware etc

Ten years from now what kind of crafter or

designer you want to be considered

An artist who knows his material well

Who do you highly esteem among crafters or

designers

Furniture designer Ha Jihoon who led me to

furniture design and the architect Ando Tadao

Traditional Craftgt

ltTexturegt

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

there were excellent complementing booths organized by

various craft brands and galleries Their participation made the

fair more interesting and exciting because we would never be

able to learn about them or they were hard to find were it not

for this fair Craft Studios Section offered works by the artists

selected through fierce competitions It is no doubt that these

crafters also had chances to meet audience and learn their

responses After all a craft is something to be completed when

they meet each other

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

Your brand name lsquoDeep Cobaltrsquo sounds unique

What is the meaning behind it

I ran in to the phrase while reading a novel when

I was young I liked its abstract association with

lsquothe color of a deep oceanrsquo

You chose handbuilding technique with slab of

clay instead of wheel throwing or casting What

are the merits and demerits

Wheel throwing and casting technique require

postproduction process even after building

shapes and drying the clay On one hand

handbuilding method allows me to finish the

making process at the building shapes stage

without additional process It also allows me to

create the shape my porcelains a fun look of

paper On the other hand it has low success

rate and takes longer time because it requires

polishing process after second firing

Another unusual fact of the Deep Cobalt is that

it uses clay called Black Mountain instead of

normal porcelain clay What is the reason for it

First of all it is because of the color of the clay I

learned about it while I was looking for clay that

has rougher texture and color There are clays

with rough texture but no such color It fitted very

well for my work that uses minimum amount of

glaze and emphasizing natural characteristics of

clay Using heat wire (in order not to be rusted

while fired on 1200 degree) or gluing leather is

the influence from the experience of ceramic

object work I did before I started ceramic craft

Maybe that is the reason

Would you make self-assessment of the fact

why Deep Cobalt has drawn attention among

active crafters

I would say people tend to be amazed by them

rather than loving them They look different than

other craftersrsquo Would it be the reason My work

looks like rather a tin can than ceramic pot The

basic principle is being persistent attempting to

make new design I kept in mind that the cups

are drinking tool The cup is the outcome of the

design that I approached from this perspective

Which design do you think is lsquothe best of the

01 04 He flattens slab of clay and builds the shape by

rolling them like a sheet of paper

02 He recently added leather on his heat wire handle

03 Mug cups and strainer that reveals natural

characteristics of clay called lsquoBlack Mountainrsquo

best craft or deignrsquo Freitag bags Not only the

design is excellent but also the concept behind

deserves the status It recycles used seat belt

bicycle tube truck taps etc It is quite interesting

to know people still love them even though each

bag looks different from each other because it is

recycling used materials

Including artist Hyun Sanghwa what do you

think the young artists lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

If you have idea of a work you lsquomustrsquo do lsquonowrsquo

without hesitant

CHO BYUNGJU

Cho Byungju creates furniture with emphasize on

its function and characteristics of the material He

also does not hide changes that take place during

manufacturing process because his motto is all should

be able to understand and appreciate designer

furniture by its simplicity and straightforwardness

unlike the notion of designer furniture often gives out

notion of that they are difficult and complex

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Also I would like to work on Korean restaurant

that I would pour my whole energy and ability on

its furniture interior tableware etc

Ten years from now what kind of crafter or

designer you want to be considered

An artist who knows his material well

Who do you highly esteem among crafters or

designers

Furniture designer Ha Jihoon who led me to

furniture design and the architect Ando Tadao

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

Boy-rice) etchellip they are the sosengs that we are planning

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

It snowed a lot this winter Gongju also turned into a land

of white snow Stepping on the heaped up snowfall we

have visited Gongjursquos attractions There were full of old

stories as a city of history without fail and precious relics

were boasting its grace here and there as museum without

roof Moreover the temples under the blanket of snow

looked quite romantic

furniture designer

CHO BYUNGJU

Cho Byungju creates furniture with emphasize on

its function and characteristics of the material He

also does not hide changes that take place during

manufacturing process because his motto is all should

be able to understand and appreciate designer

furniture by its simplicity and straightforwardness

unlike the notion of designer furniture often gives out

notion of that they are difficult and complex

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Also I would like to work on Korean restaurant

that I would pour my whole energy and ability on

its furniture interior tableware etc

Ten years from now what kind of crafter or

designer you want to be considered

An artist who knows his material well

Who do you highly esteem among crafters or

designers

Furniture designer Ha Jihoon who led me to

furniture design and the architect Ando Tadao

Where the readers can purchase your work

Currently my furniture are sold at KCDF Gallery

Shop in Insadong and Dongdaemoon Design

Plaza(DDP) and website(wwwchobyungjucom)

Traditional Craftgt

ltTexturegt

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

Beside main exhibitions and KCDF special exhibition section

there were excellent complementing booths organized by

various craft brands and galleries Their participation made the

fair more interesting and exciting because we would never be

able to learn about them or they were hard to find were it not

for this fair Craft Studios Section offered works by the artists

selected through fierce competitions It is no doubt that these

crafters also had chances to meet audience and learn their

responses After all a craft is something to be completed when

they meet each other

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

Boy-rice) etchellip they are the sosengs that we are planning

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

How would you describe your work so far

Furniture that is located in between practical

furniture and artwork

What in your mind is the uniqueness of your

work that differentiates you from other designers

or crafters

I think designerrsquos work should be simple and

direct forward so that all should be able to

understand and appreciate them For that matter

I came to focus on the characteristics of the raw

material

What inspires you to continue your work

I find it exciting to make furniture while learning

new techniques and dealing with new materials

Is there something that you would like to

challenge to make

Currently I am focusing on experimenting

various materials I would continue to learn more

complicated processing technique for a while

Also I would like to work on Korean restaurant

that I would pour my whole energy and ability on

its furniture interior tableware etc

Ten years from now what kind of crafter or

designer you want to be considered

An artist who knows his material well

Who do you highly esteem among crafters or

designers

Furniture designer Ha Jihoon who led me to

furniture design and the architect Ando Tadao

Where the readers can purchase your work

Currently my furniture are sold at KCDF Gallery

Shop in Insadong and Dongdaemoon Design

Plaza(DDP) and website(wwwchobyungjucom)

ltConstancy amp

Change in Korean

Traditional Craftgt

ltTexturegt

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

able to learn about them or they were hard to find were it not

selected through fierce competitions It is no doubt that these

crafters also had chances to meet audience and learn their

responses After all a craft is something to be completed when

they meet each other

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

Boy-rice) etchellip they are the sosengs that we are planning

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

ltTexturegt

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

Beside main exhibitions and KCDF special exhibition section

there were excellent complementing booths organized by

various craft brands and galleries Their participation made the

fair more interesting and exciting because we would never be

able to learn about them or they were hard to find were it not

for this fair Craft Studios Section offered works by the artists

selected through fierce competitions It is no doubt that these

crafters also had chances to meet audience and learn their

responses After all a craft is something to be completed when

they meet each other

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

stories as a city of history without fail and precious relics

were boasting its grace here and there as museum without

roof Moreover the temples under the blanket of snow

looked quite romantic

ltConstancy amp

Change in Korean

Traditional Craftgt

ltTexturegt

The difference between craft and fine arts such as painting or sculpture

is that it has purpose They are not the objects for watching while being

kept in cabinets but the objects to be used in life There are saying that

lsquocraft acquires meaning only when it meets with human This section of the

exhibition examines such essential nature of craft that are often forgotten

ltConstancy amp Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2014gt has

travelled starting from Milano Triennale Design Museum in

April of 2014 to London Design Festival in September and

Hangzhou in October It was the exhibition that drew great

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in

the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

traditional craft

This exhibition is hosted by National Intangible

Heritage Center The show paired the eight

holders of Korearsquos Important Intangible Cultural

Property status with sixteen lsquosuccessorsrsquo of

traditional craft mastery taught by the holders

They presented contemporary reinterpretation

of Korearsquos traditional crafts that are on the

verge of distinction By adapting traditional

craft to the contemporary sense and use

this thankful show exhibited tradition can be

inherited and continued today

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

Boy-rice) etchellip they are the sosengs that we are planning

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

massager) Lee Kyutae (NeoENbiz-shrimp) Park Minje (Snail

Boy-rice) etchellip they are the sosengs that we are planning

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

Boy-rice) etchellip they are the sosengs that we are planning

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

stories as a city of history without fail and precious relics

were boasting its grace here and there as museum without

roof Moreover the temples under the blanket of snow

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

Boy-rice) etchellip they are the sosengs that we are planning

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

Boy-rice) etchellip they are the sosengs that we are planning

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

massager) Lee Kyutae (NeoENbiz-shrimp) Park Minje (Snail

Boy-rice) etchellip they are the sosengs that we are planning

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

massager) Lee Kyutae (NeoENbiz-shrimp) Park Minje (Snail

Boy-rice) etchellip they are the sosengs that we are planning

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

contemporary soseng of old manual industry is no doubt

grand and divine

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

Boboo Store

Design Cooperative

lsquoBoboo Storersquo is a design cooperative established

by following five designers Hwang Byungjun Sun

Jongbaek Lee Jungeun Ham Soohyun Kang Seulki

Their idea to sell designer products without middlemen

but with membersrsquo cooperation was put into an action at

a blue jean-washing factory in Sungsoo-dong last July

Currently 27 co-op members are producing designer

goods in furniture shoes lighting and art object fields

What is the meaning of lsquoBoboo Storersquo

The word Boboo is compound words of lsquoBosangrsquo

and lsquoBoosangrsquo Bosang refers to a seller carrying

small sundries like accessories in wrapping cloth

while lsquoBoosangrsquo sells bigger products like furniture

or glassware We added the word lsquostorersquo next toit We learned that lsquoBoboosangrsquos activities in the

past already included means rules principles and

courtesy that we wanted to practice So we thought

that it is a perfect fit for the mission of the Design

Cooperative and decided to take it

Most of you are young designers Does have to do

with the motivation of this special cooperation

When designers start to produce the amount of

production is small It results in disadvantage in terms

of competing prices Especially when designers want

to do small-scale production or business as one-

person independent designer they have many issues

need to resolve on start-up stage Even charges that

distributors take in general only are costly so that

production price has to go up in the structure If you

make only one edition stores would not be willing

to open an account with you In this condition we

saw the possibility of synergy if designers helping

each other and share roles We have discussed and

concluded that cooperative is a beneficial way in

organizing roles Then five initiators have gathered

and established this designer cooperative

Then what does Boboo Store do Boboo Store

sells designer goods that designer made by him

herself Among sales items it includes consigned

production by designers and we sell them under the

designerrsquos name We mostly deal crafts designer

products and food from the project that designer

was involved Certain percentage from the net profit

goes to the operation budget of the cooperative

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

and organizing incubating projects Like the meaning

of lsquoSosengrsquo that refers to lsquorebirth after hardshiprsquo their

dream of giving rebirth of small-scale manufacturers

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

were boasting its grace here and there as museum without

roof Moreover the temples under the blanket of snow

looked quite romantic

We are running a cafeacute in order for the smoother operation of the cooperation We are planning to

organize workshop collaboration projects small concert exhibitions as well as renting out the

space

What can be the competitive edges that Boboo Storersquos products have There are more than

enough designers in this country The concept of design crosses over to other disciplines It is

the era of lsquoGold Rush for designrsquo indeed Those who appreciate the importance of design are our

potential customers If we can introduce good designers and their products well enough there

will be more regular customers who appreciate the products and buy them If more designers

participated in this with us what we are dreaming here can quite possibly come true

What is your mission and how you want to get there I want people to feel that there is nothing

we cannot do here A place no restricted rule on what to do and how a place you can restart even

after failure and a place where you can share the joy of success together I want this place to be like

that wwwboboostorecom

Soseng Industrial Complex dreams of excavating good

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which

is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

them helping them by managing orders and sales

ldquoWe are a small-scale manufacturerrsquos industrial complexesrdquo

Soseng Industrial Complex is abbreviation for lsquosmall-scale (so) manufactures (seng) Industrial

Complexrsquo We came about from the interest in who are small-scale manufacturers (soseng) with craft

manrsquos creative mind and devotion and what kind of things they make It was also the starting point

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

Boy-rice) etchellip they are the sosengs that we are planning

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

of the Complex when we decided to do something helpful for promoting and selling their products

We had discussion on which format will be effective to persuading customers and came up with the

storytelling of producer because how the producer have grown up and what kind of thoughts do

they have can be explored through interviews First we look for a good producer and write interview

articles and product reviews

ldquoWish sosengs to sosengrdquo

I have mobilized all channels in order to find artists lsquohidden in shadowsrsquo so to speak Though we

get recommendation from acquaintance finding artists needs legwork We have a section in the

homepage that devotes to soseng that we found and introduced We also have section called

Soseng-ro(ad) for registered producer members to open their own online market like an open market

ldquoWe are introducing soseng we metrdquo

We sell all kinds of items that make up our daily lives in

general from spoon to furniture and from rice to shrimp

ware) Kim Jaejin and Byun Jaehong (Studio Blank-

massager) Lee Kyutae (NeoENbiz-shrimp) Park Minje (Snail

Boy-rice) etchellip they are the sosengs that we are planning

to introduce To speak of soseng who left me with deep

impression it is Han Kyuik who makes bags

How the world would turn out if so many people

sufficient enough number to make difference in thestructure start to produce small scale

Most soseng that we found choose to be self-sufficient or

pursue to be one They make things on their own if not too

difficult to do so and buy only small fraction of the necessary

items Craft and small-scale production is stemmed from the

idea that one makes their necessities on their own Soseng

and things they produce are treasures indeed because they

give a room to think about the way of living and the way of

consuming wwwsosengcokr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

Supply Seoul

Artist Lee Gwangho who is already famous for his furnitureand lightings that are made with woven PVC materials

Kim Heewon who is taking pictures project manager Cha

Jungwook graphic studio Hi-Fi Studio The friends who shared

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural

project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

telescope or microscope that will show you what the artists

based in Seoul are thinking

organization by CHOI HYEKYUNG

Photography by LEE SOOYOUN

What does Supply Seoul mean It means to supply something However it is not something grand

or anything Without grand purpose or mission Supply Seoul came out of the questions like lsquowhat

an artist living in Seoul can supply to other friend artistsrsquo It was only fortunate and timely that we

had means and condition earlier than we anticipated to start this a kind of cultural project under the

name lsquoSupply Seoulrsquo

What does Supply Seoul do I never made rules But if I need to show you some structure it can

be said to organize and supply with all things that can be done at a certain space in various formats

For example communication sharing thoughts seminar developing cultural project exhibition and

performance are organized To put it simpler term what we are trying to do is more or less to supply

support with minimized restriction that once institutions or space have imposed on artist or designer

when they want to show their work and supply a space and opportunity in which they can show their

ideas and their full potential We are on a stage that is too premature to define who we are Time will

tell Also I think what needs to all artists seem to be archiving

Who are the lsquoartist friendsrsquo who have been supplied through Supply Seoul so far Supply Seoul

is not formal organization so that artists are not bound by any representation system like commercial

galleries or by-laws of a cooperation which is the hot issue now a days There is no fund for the

artists in the program Only that we want to give is a little help for various artists and designers and

their work

If one wants to get supply from Supply Seoul how the person should knock on your door

So far the list of people in the program is made up by my personal preference or by discussion with

friends If anyone is steady with their work I believe they would get chance to present their work not

only here at Supply Seoul but also even better place wwwsupplyseoulkr

have visited Gongjursquos attractions There were full of old

stories as a city of history without fail and precious relics

were boasting its grace here and there as museum without

roof Moreover the temples under the blanket of snow

looked quite romantic
