Con is a unique design hanger that offers a fresh take on the traditional household hanger. Moving away from the conventional triangular hook design, it combines sturdy wood with flexible cords, creating a distinctive piece that doubles as a decorative object in everyday spaces.

Divided into two sections, the upper part is designed to hang tops by hooking them in the opposite direction, while the lower part can be used for hanging pants or accessories like hats, scarves, and belts on either end. This versatile hanger can be used from both sides, providing a creative way to organize and display items.

PEAK is not just a mirror; it’s an object designed to elevate the ambiance of a space. Created to stand out even when not in use, it blends abstract shapes inspired by nature with warm, felt materials to enhance its aesthetic appeal.
The cone shapes, inspired by mountain peaks of varying heights, bring energy to the space, while vibrant, seasonally inspired colors evoke the ever-changing beauty of nature. To improve practicality, a strap is added at the top, and for safety, an acrylic mirror is used at the bottom to prevent breaking.

Talyeonhwa is an incense cone that symbolizes the artistic harmony between the Hahoe mask and smoke. It is inspired by three iconic masks: the Yangban mask, the Chorangi mask, and the Bune mask, each representing its unique charm and story. Drawing from the tradition of burning masks after a performance to drive away evil spirits, this incense embodies a similar cultural practice.
Just as burning the masks is believed to ward off evil spirits and usher in the new year, lighting this incense helps release daily stress and anxiety, offering a moment of renewal and a refreshed mindset.
Crafted from natural materials, it is safe for the body and naturally decomposes after use, minimizing its environmental impact.
The Hahoe Mask incense fills the space with smoke and fragrance, providing a healing and meditative experience rooted in tradition.

The Garesansui Vase embodies Eastern beauty, inspired by the traditional Japanese Zen garden. Garesansui refers to the concept that all things return to the earth, emphasizing a profound connection with nature. To highlight Eastern aesthetics, the vase is designed using a low-profile form typical of Ikebana vase collections.
Rather than filling the vase entirely, the design encourages a careful and balanced composition of flowers, drawing attention to the natural flow of lines and the harmonious interplay of positive and negative space.
Utilizing the unique properties of Zeolite material, the vase showcases a refined yet natural texture, further reinforcing its conceptual design.

The Ribbon Project, organized by A Meaningful Life (Uisikjuwi), was created to promote a circular economy and a sustainable environment by recycling clean, discarded five-star hotel beddings instead of incinerating them. The growing amount of textile waste is significantly contributing to the global warming crisis.
In response, A Meaningful Life developed recycled felt from clean, discarded hotel bedding. This recycled felt helps reduce textile waste and transforms single-use products to be repurposed for multiple uses. The project collaborated with Zero to X (0TOX), a brand dedicated to creating meaningful, high-quality products, to design reusable slippers that can replace the single-use slippers commonly discarded in hotels.

This storage box is made from discarded pieces of natural leather and leftover copper sheets, crafted through a spinning process. It is ideal for storing jewelry, car keys, glasses, and other small items, protecting them from scratches while adding a luxurious touch to interiors with its diverse and rich color palette.
The design is inspired by curving landscapes shaped by the erosive power of waves, reflecting nature's transformative beauty. Just as erosion reshapes terrain to create new forms of beauty, we strive to discover new design values in discarded materials, celebrating the inherent elegance of nature.
The flowing curves, inspired by natural erosion processes, are expressed through the use of soft leather. This effect is achieved using a wet-forming technique, where moistened leather is fixed into a mold, dried, and shaped to accentuate the organic flexibility and smoothness of the curves.

The Laundry Basket is crafted from stainless steel, offering exceptional durability and a luxurious texture. Its versatile design seamlessly blends into any space, making it suitable not only for laundry but also for storing various items. The basket consists of two components: a basket and a tray. The tray is equipped with wheels at the bottom, ensuring easy mobility. The basket's neatly arranged strings accentuate its minimalist aesthetic, reflecting Vatya's philosophy of standard design.

This design blanket reflects the unique architectural elements of DDP (Dongdaemun Design Plaza). Inspired by the curves formed by the repetition of DDP's external panels, the design incorporates these elements into the blanket's pattern and weave. By drawing parallels between the architectural process of DDP and the weaving process, the repetitive panel design was applied to the blanket to create an original souvenir that symbolizes DDP.
The blanket not only captures the beauty of DDP but also offers high functionality, transforming it from a simple winter accessory into a piece of artistic value. At the DDP Design Fair, "Like This" and "Beformative" present this special item, celebrating one of Seoul's most iconic architectural landmarks.

"Dong" is a design inspired by the pillar structure of traditional Hanok (Korean houses), expressing the proportional beauty of Hanok architecture through simple vertical and horizontal lines. True to its name, which suggests something that both appears to do and not do something, Dong functions as a clothes hanger while also serving as a decorative object that enhances the ambiance when not in use.

Dong features adjustable horizontal components that can be moved and arranged according to the user's preferences, with the flexibility to add additional pieces as needed. Users can select parts such as hooks or storage racks to meet their specific needs, and a guideline is provided for easy installation, allowing for simple attachment to the wall.

Dong is a product that modernizes the beauty of traditional Hanok, transforming a space into a refined environment. It seamlessly blends Korean traditional aesthetics with contemporary practicality, allowing you to harmoniously experience both.

CON CREATE is a creative furniture brand designed to align with modern lifestyles. The name CON encompasses the ideas of "Construct" and "Connect," while CREATE emphasizes individual imagination and creativity.

The Cement Panel Drawer is a piece of furniture that emphasizes minimalistic aesthetics and practicality. Crafted from durable, non-toxic cement, it is designed for lasting durability and offers the flexibility to be easily customized and adapted to the user’s specific needs and tastes.

The product consists of a single drawer and a storage compartment, making it ideal for effectively storing various items with minimal risk of deformation or damage even after extended use. Beyond serving as simple storage, this product offers the flexibility to create a variety of designs by allowing users to replace the top surface according to their preferences.

The top surface is available in a selection of materials, including steel, glass, and acrylic, enabling personal customization. Additionally, the upper storage compartment can be fitted with lighting options, enhancing the ambiance of the space.

The concept behind this product began with the question: "Rather than merely storing things, is there a way to keep cherished items—things filled with personal memories and meaning—within view for a long time?" Rather than storing such precious items deep in the back of a cupboard—items that we can never truly part with, often emptied out during spring cleaning or moving—we hope they can remain present in our daily view.

Storage ABC invites you to fill its various-sized compartments with your own time, memories, and meaning. The storage unit, designed in the form of a picture frame with squares of varying sizes, is fully customizable to fit the user's preferences and needs. It can function as a side table, shelf, frame, storage unit, or simply as an objet d'art. Made from light-colored beech wood, the storage unit features sliding doors with glass inserts, allowing you to securely store your items while maintaining visibility.

This piece, crafted through simple metalworking, combines functionality with smooth, curved forms. Its design utilizes natural, streamlined curves to offer visual comfort, while offering a soft and graceful tactile experience when held.
Though created with a minimalist approach, each element is perfectly harmonized to maximize user convenience.

It serves various practical functions during reading or work, all the while maintaining its beauty as a decorative interior item.

"The Flower" is a metal stool inspired by the beauty of flowers, one of nature's most precious gifts.
Just as several simple, familiar petals come together to form a beautiful flower, the stool is assembled by repeatedly arranging two identical pieces, creating a shape that resembles a flower.
As a stool, the product provides stability and convenience for the user, while also creating an interior effect that evokes the feeling of a flower blooming in the home.

We developed a modular hanger system tailored to both B2B and B2C business models. Designed with emphasis on portability, manufacturability, ease of assembly, and expandability, the system supports a business model that allows for rental or sale in pop-ups, exhibitions, and clothing stores.
The rotating angled hook module provides versatile storage options, enabling different configurations to accommodate a wider variety of items.
Standardized screw thread specifications make it easy to attach additional modules at the front or back, meeting the needs of both home users and retail environments. For pop-ups or stores, long bar modules can be added, offering adaptable solutions for various spaces.

SODA COLLECTION
Based on the structural potentials of recycled materials, we designed three types of shelves by repeatedly expanding and combining modular elements—arches, trusses, and beams.
To further emphasize sustainability, we incorporated discarded plastic bottle caps from beverage companies, recognized as significant contributors to plastic waste. By utilizing their unique colors and patterns, the design seeks to engage the public and foster awareness about environmental issues and the importance of plastic recycling in an accessible and visually compelling way.

CP MODULE SHELF
We designed a modular piece of furniture, taking full advantage of the durable and low-deformation characteristics of recycled plastic, making it easy to put together and take apart. To balance the bold textures and varied colors of recycled plastic, we paired it with metal elements, offering a fresh reinterpretation of the material.
Using CNC machining, we carved precise patterns and grooves into the inner surface of the recycled plastic panels, allowing metal panels to be easily inserted and removed. The metal panels function as adjustable shelves and also act as clips to secure the upper and lower modular parts.
Users can create various configurations simply by stacking and securing the modules as desired. Additionally, all metal parts are interchangeable and can be developed in a variety of shapes and colors.

Reflecting on the brand's philosophy of encouraging a mindful life, these pieces were created to offer practical yet unique furniture that seamlessly integrates into any setting.
With their minimalist design, the DAILY L2 and DAILY STOOL complement a wide range of environments, delivering an unexpectedly high level of comfort and elevating the daily experience.
These versatile pieces effortlessly blend into daily life, making them ideal not just for homes, but also for public spaces like restaurants, educational institutions, and offices.

We believe paper-based furniture is ideal for occupying spaces temporarily. As a result, we designed stools that can be used at pop-up events or outdoor gatherings. The structure is created using a flat-pack design, making it easy to assemble.
The stool can be used individually; however, when arranged in a hexagonal pattern, it transforms into a bench, creating a space where multiple people can sit on. Furthermore, it can be expanded at various angles, allowing for different linear or circular setups, making it adaptable to various environments.
