Bacci For Dwelling is a unique name. Please tell us more about the brand.

Bacci For Dwelling (BFD) is a lifestyle brand run by a design studio called Bacci. From pencils to home décor items to furniture, we create and introduce small and large products across various categories that make up our daily lives. We are trying to deliver designs that naturally blend into the space, adapt to the user's changes and are sustainable for a long time. In addition, we are running Nomadic Showrooms with the theme of “nomadic”, so we are looking for spaces across the country with distinct personalities, instead of unchanging offline content, to blend furniture and products into each space.

Could you also tell us the story of how the brand was created?

I naturally became interested in furniture while I was studying architecture, and I created a design studio where I could work on creative and interesting designs. I can say that it all started with my fascination of furniture, which accounts for the largest share in the space of everyday life.

Please tell us about the latest product of Bachi, which has no boundaries for design.

We are making products, such as toast trays, soap dishes, etc., that are small but add fun and meaning to our daily lives. We are working on wall-mount products such as wall storage boxes.

Is there any message Bachi would like to share through the Launching Pavilion?

I want to tell a story about everyday objects based on simple formative beauty and beautiful materials. Since we want have a two-way communication with visitors, we are hoping to see them at our booth touching and sitting on things in person and getting some rest.

What are the current trends in home living?

It seems that people have become more serious and interested in their own space since the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic. So, perhaps a trend is the act of finding what you like and discovering your own things. This free, nomad spirit fits perfectly with Bachi’s brand philosophy.

As a design brand, how do you think of the DDP Design Fair?

I decided to participate in this year’s fair since AGO Creative Director Yoo Hwasung strongly recommended it to me, and it makes me wonder how things will turn out for the fair. I hope the fair differentiates itself from other conventional fairs and presents a new direction. In addition, I hope the fair grows into a meaningful and useful event fair that promotes Made-in-Korea products at home and abroad.
