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

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
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
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

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

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

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

Folie (more powerful than courage) to challenge
uncertainty the self-discipline and perseverance for such
challenge nerve that takes sarcasms and neglects around
them as their drive and hyper-sensitive antenna that would
take on any series of unusual liveshellip People who we are
introducing here have one more thing than above They
have boldness and mobility charged enough to challenge
something provocative Boboo Store forms design

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

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

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
01 Candle Towerrsquo LED

adjust its height 02 lsquoEco Driversquo

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

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 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

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

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

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

uncertainty the self-discipline and perseverance for such

them as their drive and hyper-sensitive antenna that would
take on any series of unusual liveshellip People who we are
introducing here have one more thing than above They
have boldness and mobility charged enough to challenge
something provocative Boboo Store forms design

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

adjust its height 02 lsquoEco Driversquo

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
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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

adjust its height 02 lsquoEco Driversquo

allows you to use phonersquos GPS

case that he presented at Craft
Trend Fair 04 lsquoToyrsquo Clip holder

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

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

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

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

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

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
being introduced at 2014 Craft Trend Fair

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
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

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

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

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 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

uncertainty the self-discipline and perseverance for such
challenge nerve that takes sarcasms and neglects around
them as their drive and hyper-sensitive antenna that would
take on any series of unusual liveshellip People who we are
introducing here have one more thing than above They
have boldness and mobility charged enough to challenge

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

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

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
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

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

case that he presented at Craft

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

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

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

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

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
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

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

uncertainty the self-discipline and perseverance for such

them as their drive and hyper-sensitive antenna that would
take on any series of unusual liveshellip People who we are
introducing here have one more thing than above They
have boldness and mobility charged enough to challenge
something provocative Boboo Store forms design

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

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
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
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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
works are the crystallization of the
compulsion that you want to touch
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
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

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

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
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

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

uncertainty the self-discipline and perseverance for such
challenge nerve that takes sarcasms and neglects around
them as their drive and hyper-sensitive antenna that would
take on any series of unusual liveshellip People who we are
introducing here have one more thing than above They
have boldness and mobility charged enough to challenge
something provocative Boboo Store forms design

they are the ones who are performing more fundamental

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

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

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
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

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

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
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

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

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

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

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

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
Detachable iPhone rest This
allows you to use phonersquos GPS

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

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

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

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

uncertainty the self-discipline and perseverance for such
challenge nerve that takes sarcasms and neglects around
them as their drive and hyper-sensitive antenna that would
take on any series of unusual liveshellip People who we are
introducing here have one more thing than above They
have boldness and mobility charged enough to challenge
something provocative Boboo Store forms design

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

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

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
Chungdam-dong

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

adjust its height 02 lsquoEco Driversquo

allows you to use phonersquos GPS

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

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
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

late Lee Ungno inspire me

that inspire you I am particularly impressed by

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
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

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

KIM HEEJONG
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

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)

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

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

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

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
that has a clock on a face panel
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
works are the crystallization of the
compulsion that you want to touch
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
01 Candle Towerrsquo LED
candleholder that you can
adjust its height 02 lsquoEco Driversquo
Detachable iPhone rest This
allows you to use phonersquos GPS

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

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

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

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

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

were boasting its grace here and there as museum without
roof Moreover the temples under the blanket of snow
looked quite romantic

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

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

works are the crystallization of the
compulsion that you want to touch
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
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
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

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

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

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

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
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

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

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

Folie (more powerful than courage) to challenge
uncertainty the self-discipline and perseverance for such
challenge nerve that takes sarcasms and neglects around
them as their drive and hyper-sensitive antenna that would
take on any series of unusual liveshellip People who we are
introducing here have one more thing than above They
have boldness and mobility charged enough to challenge
something provocative Boboo Store forms design
cooperatives for manufacturers Soseng Industrial Complex
advertises organizes orders and sales and takes on
incubating project for small-scale manufacturer and Supply
Seoul runs culture project with young designers based in

they are the ones who are performing more fundamental

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

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

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

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
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
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

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

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

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

them as their drive and hyper-sensitive antenna that would
take on any series of unusual liveshellip People who we are

have boldness and mobility charged enough to challenge

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

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

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

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

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

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

responses After all a craft is something to be completed when

uncertainty the self-discipline and perseverance for such
challenge nerve that takes sarcasms and neglects around
them as their drive and hyper-sensitive antenna that would
take on any series of unusual liveshellip People who we are
introducing here have one more thing than above They
have boldness and mobility charged enough to challenge
something provocative Boboo Store forms design

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
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

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

uncertainty the self-discipline and perseverance for such
challenge nerve that takes sarcasms and neglects around
them as their drive and hyper-sensitive antenna that would
take on any series of unusual liveshellip People who we are
introducing here have one more thing than above They
have boldness and mobility charged enough to challenge
something provocative Boboo Store forms design

they are the ones who are performing more fundamental

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 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

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

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 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

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

uncertainty the self-discipline and perseverance for such

them as their drive and hyper-sensitive antenna that would
take on any series of unusual liveshellip People who we are
introducing here have one more thing than above They
have boldness and mobility charged enough to challenge
something provocative Boboo Store forms design

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

responses After all a craft is something to be completed when
they meet each other

uncertainty the self-discipline and perseverance for such

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

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

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

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

Folie (more powerful than courage) to challenge
uncertainty the self-discipline and perseverance for such

them as their drive and hyper-sensitive antenna that would
take on any series of unusual liveshellip People who we are
introducing here have one more thing than above They
have boldness and mobility charged enough to challenge
something provocative Boboo Store forms design

they are the ones who are performing more fundamental

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

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
Where can the readers purchase your work

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

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

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

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

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
Where the readers can purchase your work
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

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

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

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

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

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

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
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

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

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

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 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

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

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

Currently my furniture are sold at KCDF Gallery

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

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

uncertainty the self-discipline and perseverance for such

them as their drive and hyper-sensitive antenna that would
take on any series of unusual liveshellip People who we are
introducing here have one more thing than above They
have boldness and mobility charged enough to challenge
something provocative Boboo Store forms design

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

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

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)

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

attention from the world and was able to engrave deep in
the hearts of world citizens who had not known the Korearsquos

Folie (more powerful than courage) to challenge
uncertainty the self-discipline and perseverance for such
challenge nerve that takes sarcasms and neglects around
them as their drive and hyper-sensitive antenna that would
take on any series of unusual liveshellip People who we are
introducing here have one more thing than above They
have boldness and mobility charged enough to challenge
something provocative Boboo Store forms design
cooperatives for manufacturers Soseng Industrial Complex
advertises organizes orders and sales and takes on
incubating project for small-scale manufacturer and Supply

they are the ones who are performing more fundamental

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

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

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)

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

uncertainty the self-discipline and perseverance for such

them as their drive and hyper-sensitive antenna that would
take on any series of unusual liveshellip People who we are
introducing here have one more thing than above They
have boldness and mobility charged enough to challenge
something provocative Boboo Store forms design

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

same thought and mind gathered and opened up a cultural
project Supply Seoul The interview offers a kind of either

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

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

were boasting its grace here and there as museum without
roof Moreover the temples under the blanket of snow
looked quite romantic

uncertainty the self-discipline and perseverance for such

them as their drive and hyper-sensitive antenna that would
take on any series of unusual liveshellip People who we are

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

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

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

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

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

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

products made by lsquosmall-scaled manufacturersrsquo which
is a contemporary craftsman letting people know about

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

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

Sunyoung (Gaji-Gaji-stuffed doll) Kim Hyunsung (metal
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

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

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

of white snow Stepping on the heaped up snowfall we

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
