We propose a series of modular furniture pieces that cater to the changing lifestyles of people. We designed pieces of furniture that can be described with a variety of modifiers tailored to different people or different situations, instead of different spaces, such as “convenient to use in a variety of situations”, “appropriate height with many uses for various spaces”, “necessary when people gather together”, not pieces of furniture that are described with typical modifiers such as “designed for your new place”, “designed for your office”, “designed for a restaurant”, “designed for a café”, “designed for an airport”, “designed for single-person households”. The first product of the modular furniture series is a table and bench set with a universal and basic design. This modular furniture piece can be combined with various parts and transformed or expanded into a table, dining table, sofa table, bench or book shelf depending on the user’s space and situation. It is expected to be widely used even for commercial or public spaces since it can be expanded along the curved space or wall endlessly according to the user’s environment.

These Things Take Time (TTTT) Designer Jaehoon Jung enjoyed communicating with his partner — a designer and also a maker — about furniture production and design. During the design ideation process, it was great to take a new approach and perspective from the perspective of a maker, especially for things he hadn’t thought about as a designer. He hopes to work with Give & Take on various projects in the future.

Give & Take CEO Junggyu Park said he had a great opportunity to get a glimpse of the first step of the design and the story and philosophy of the product. He said he was glad that he could manufacture a product by solving each problem identified from various social issues and design stories through substantial market research, interviews with professionals and user surveys in collaboration with the designer and completing the design. TTTT runs a small design studio and specializes in furniture and interior. Give & Take is a workshop that mostly creates custom products and provides education courses and design services.
