The Floral Stool is even more impressive when viewed from above. With the motif of a blooming flower, we wanted to maximize the organic curves of the stool by breaking away from the common furniture structure of combining the top and leg structures and starting from the structure of nature. Made with lamination bending, the combined form of the three piece model can be seen to form the shape of a flower when viewed from above, and the graceful curves of the flower can be enjoyed from the legs to the top. In addition, the design focuses on productivity as well as aesthetics, and the lamination bending technique can save both time and money when mass-produced.

Maker Jun Hwi Kim

"I have a philosophy that design and production go hand in hand, and it was a great experience to realize firsthand that communication is the most important thing in the process of creating new work with a sensible designer. I think such exchanges are definitely necessary as a maker and I hope to continue to build on the relationship establishing through matching."

Designer Gyeong-min Hong

"Through this project, I was able to actively communicate with a maker and explore techniques that match my design. It was also a meaningful experience where I was able to receive a lot of help with production. I think it will provide me with a lot of inspiration and influence my future designs."
