A ‘Borrowed Landscape’ from Barangsan Mountain, Yongsan-ri, Pyeongchang
Our goal is to appreciate the surrounding scenery seen through a window, just as our ancestors enjoyed untouched nature by building pavilions in places with beautiful and auspicious geography. Inspired by the natural landscape, symbolic meaning and energy are revealed through the pattern designs so that we feel healing energy. Events within the landscape around Barang Mountain, east, west, north, and south, serve to create resonant places day by day. The self-sustaining energy created by history and time is combined with human intentions and becomes an intangible source, and an important resource to help modern people awaken to a richer life.
These works evoke a flexible and organic lifestyle for the ‘softerior’, with furniture and decorations designed with a contemporary sensibility in various materials such as textile, hanji wallpaper, ji_usan lighting, hwamunseok (traditional Korean woven rush mat), shades, and folding screens. These works separate space variably with interchangeable and flexible materials and harmonize with the changes in the environment occurring outside the window, creating installations that connect like flowing water.
