chul an kwak at seoul design week 2007


chul an kwak

chul an kwak is a young korean designer who aims to inject furniture with dynamic emotion, breaking from the
static norms. we met kwak at the seoul design week 2007 where he was exhibiting his 'r.n.i.' series of furnishings.
the series is modeled after images of running horses that motivated him to create furniture which takes-off from
a point in space and time.
