Maeduep Stool: heart 2.0 by WKND Lab . From the series Tying Wishes . Cotton, pearl cotton 

 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.

This artwork presents an intriguing, abstract sculpture resembling a turtle. Made from intricately twisted and woven black fabric tubes, the piece exudes a sense of playfulness and innovation. The fabric's soft texture contrasts strikingly with the sculpture's robust form, drawing attention to its unique material composition. The thoughtful arrangement of the loops and knots creates a dynamic silhouette that invites viewers to explore it from multiple angles. This minimalist yet expressive design challenges traditional sculptural norms by incorporating textile elements, offering a tactile and visual experience that is both comforting and thought-provoking. The neutral color enhances its modern aesthetic, making it a versatile piece for various spaces. This artwork stands out for its clever manipulation of fabric, intriguing viewers and inviting them to ponder the intersection of art, form, and material.
