'amber bottle' is a continuation of jung's previous project 'amber chair' in which he explores
the layers of time through the essence of amber. taking the iconic packaging of the
coca-cola bottle designed by alexander samuelson, jung forever seals its form with the help
of high technology, through amber-like chambers of polymer. an object from the past is
granted a longer life, sharing its classic beauty as a piece of contemporary design.
'amber bottle' is an indication about the present and future, through telling a story of respect
and creating a new cycle for objects.
