At first glance, the trolley looks like a piece of sculpture. This trolley not only serves a functional role, but also a role as an artistic object. By preserving the designer’s existing formative design, it was created as a trolley that offers mobility with a design that can be produced mechanically. It exhibits a dynamic and vivid design of lines. Black stained plywood and stainless steel are combined to create a new mood. In addition, the glass material offers practicality and the impression of space at the same time. The trolley represents a “moving sculpture”, which is newly created through the formative “combination” of line elements and plane elements coming from different axes.

Designer Park Jeesun “As a person who works alone in numerous processes from idea to realization, the DDP Design Fair’s new matching process was refreshing. Furthermore, I got paired with a wonderful team called Meeseek, and we were able to create a product we were satisfied with. These days, furniture is of great value for the home and living category since it not only serves a functional role, but also a role as an artistic object, so I think furniture plays a role as a functional art piece in everyday life. We tried to reinterpret this trend into the trolley’s design. The newly unveiled “Piece Combination Trolley” created based on the collaboration with Meeseek, which curates art furniture, reflects the concept of dynamic lines by taking advantage of the trolley’s unique “mobility” feature. I have been constantly researching and searching for attractive materials and shapes. Based on my researches, I would like to showcase a chair in the second half of this year. I hope that the DDP Design Fair, which has empowered us to take a huge leap forward, becomes a stepping stone for more designers in the future and grows into an international event.”

Maker Meeseek “There have always been concerns about mass production since most of the individual works of artists are hand-crafted. However, the collaboration with the artist enabled us to find a solution. Together with Jisun Park, we were able mass-produce our product by simplifying a certain process. Meeseek strives to lead the work process by respecting the artist’s intention and focus on how to promote the end result. At this year’s DDP Design Fair, we would like to have an opportunity to promote the result of our collaboration to a variety of Korean companies, consumers and overseas brands. Through this opportunity, we hope the art collective, Meeseek, becomes one of the most active distribution platforms for artworks.”
