ddp design fair

The designers designed objects such as pen trays, pencil holders, and business card holders by finding discarded materials, understanding their properties, and finding design aesthetics in the process of processing them. By drilling holes of various sizes and cutting diagonal paths in discarded aluminum chunks, new possibilities for goods were discovered, and the results are serene and impressive, stripped of unnecessary clutter in a clean, edgy sculptural language that doesn't stop at functionality. The goods, which also fulfill the role of objets, add a special touch to our monotonous daily lives.

"I enjoyed the process of collaborating with designer Byung-seop Kim to create a product. It was meaningful to see the materials that would have been thrown away become valuable products. I've always wondered, ‘what is a valuable design?’ I'm glad that this collaboration brought me a little closer to answering that question."

"I always felt a sense of regret when I saw the materials that were thrown away to make something new. Through the collaboration, I was able to explore the basic process of production and the characteristics of materials, and learn the process of identifying the aesthetics of standardized materials and processing methods."
