A Destined Collaboration: Furniture and Lighting
2021-09-05601


This collaborative product is aimed at single-person households, and its concept is to combine furniture with lighting that can be used in various ways. In general, lighting is placed on top of furniture. Instead, they created a piece of furniture that also functions as lighting to avoid all the hassle in a small space. Designer Hyunjeong Kim was the one who reached out to Kolamp for this collaboration but Kolamp CEO Soohyun Park was surprised when the designer contacted her because she started thinking about working with Hyunjeong Kim after seeing her portfolio, which was very impressive. When they had their first meeting after they were paired as team, the two burst into laughter. They put their notebooks on the table, and they turned out to be the exact same brand and color. Even the color of their pens was the same. They started to think they were meant to be a team. They liked each other from the time they first saw each other. Designer Hyunjeong Kim and CEO Soohyun Park agree that the finished product, which is both practical and designed with style, turned out pretty well. The two design and make products inspired by their daily lives. Designer Hyunjeong Kim has extensive experience in furniture design but this was her first time making lighting. She learned a lot through this opportunity and hopes to continue working in the lighting field as well. CEO Soohyun Park said that Kolamp is a home lighting brand with a long history but it has been collaborating with artists in various fields since this year began. She said that she got a lot of inspiration especially from the designers she had met at the DDP Design Fair and would like to continue unveiling interesting pieces of work to the public from the artist's point of view.
