Description

Stool From the series Tying Wishes is a multi-functional cushion/stool that highlights the Korean traditional knot-making method interpreted into a contemporary design piece by collaborating with a seamstress who worked on beddings for more than 30 years, adhering to the traditional way of making the knots created with sustainable, animal cruelty-free material. Handcrafted, human-sized, an experimental piece using a range of traditional Korean knots (Chrysanthemum knots: prosperity, success/ ring knot: promise, tie), one of the oldest forms of decorative art that communicates through shape. This versatile piece is meant to both adorn and serve as a piece of furniture to rest on. Working with traditional crafts and experts who deserve far more credit, the project conveys the idea of long-term sustainabilit.  Cotton, pearl cotton. size: 19.6 x 19.6 x 16.5 in. 

This striking artwork presents a complex knot sculpture, composed of elongated, plush fabric elements intertwined to form a captivating, tactile composition. The deep blue hue of the material enhances its visual depth, evoking a sense of calm while inviting physical interaction. Its design suggests both strength and softness, as the robust knotting appears simultaneously secure and yielding. This duality creates a dynamic tension that draws the viewer in, encouraging closer inspection. The elongated extensions flow smoothly from the knot, contributing to the piece's fluidity and suggesting movement beyond its static form. This artwork uniquely marries functionality with artistic expression, making it not just a visual experience but a sensory one. It stands out for its ability to blend a minimalist aesthetic with a playful, inviting quality, challenging the conventional boundaries between art and design.
