Ribbon

Ribbon is a street bench designed for public spaces such as city plazas, community squares and promenades. Five common resting postures, tucked-in, deep, straight-up, lean back and lounging, were studied and simplified into profile curves. Smooth transitions between the five curves create a single meandering form. The bench is made of plywood frames, each 35 millimetres wide and spaced 50 millimetres apart, joined by threaded steel rods, nuts and wooden spacers. The slatted structure allows drainage and suits both indoor and outdoor settings.

Amplification of Sensation

Amplification of Sensation is a public chair made from discarded plastic that also serves as a sculpture. The chair is installed along the promenade of the Han River in Seoul. The funnel shape surrounds the seated user and amplifies the sounds of the trees and the water. The form also frames the view and focuses attention on the surrounding landscape. The material is produced by crushing plastic waste into small pieces and molding them into the seat. The design invites citizens to rest and to consider environmental issues.

Raised History

Raised History is a festival light installation created for a Christmas event. The structure is built from wooden lattice, which reveals its internal frame and forms the shape of a tree. Changing colors of light are projected onto canvases placed at the bottom of each layer. The colors are based on historical periods of the city, and the curved form recalls the keel of a sailboat from the founding of the port. Placed near an old canal, the installation acts as a visual focal point and brings a festive atmosphere to the harbor area.

The Pebble

Pebble is a street lighting element designed for urban public spaces. The rounded shape recalls a natural pebble and can be placed vertically or horizontally. In the horizontal position Pebble also works as seating, while the vertical position offers a leaning support. Light is emitted from a slit on the levelled surface, giving low-level illumination that reduces light pollution. The body is made of a cement-based composite that reuses sludge waste from the cutting of andesite stone. Pebble is about 60 cm high and 40 cm wide.
