The Possibilities of Design
A designer's design “possibility” becomes a “reality” with the manufacturing capabilities of a maker.
When designers think outside the box, change begins, our designs add value to our lives.
Designers care about the minds of people who use things.
They consider and analyze various problems such as spaces and situations, human living environments, and cultural phenomena from an aesthetic perspective to derive new solutions.
Maker’s technology is the realization of ideas, skilled manufacturing capabilities increase competitiveness.
Makers pursue individual needs and the well-being of all through relative and idealized structures and patterns amidst the problems of mass production, where similar products are indiscriminately poured out.
Design for all.
We introduce new lifestyles by launching a variety of new design products that aim for a Beautiful Life for every member of the society.
Compared to the exhibition’s existing role of promoting products, we enhance the company’s design value and competitiveness by suggesting lifestyle trends to consumers through Design Thinking that contains the brand’s unique design value such as ideas, processes and the branding process.

Si-san Lee + Designers Byung-seop Kim
These products are designed by identifying the properties of discarded leftover materials, understanding their characteristics during the processing stage, and finding design aesthetics in the process. They are created by combining the discovered properties from industrial processes with forms that can serve as everyday objects. By drilling various sizes of holes or milling diagonal paths into discarded aluminum pieces that would otherwise be thrown away, new possibilities for functional products were discovered. Additionally, by bending industrial materials or joining them with bolts through bending techniques, the processed materials were used to create products that combine functionality and aesthetics.
