‘destination: seoul is a MoMA-exclusive product collection highlighting lifestyle products from south korea’.

designboom has accompanied the rise of many successful designers, architects and artists. celebrating our 10th year online as one of the most popular inspirational resources and career launch pads worldwide, we are proud that an institution like MoMA is sourcing talents from our many cultural exhibitions.

‘seoul design essence’, for the first time the history and highly original contemporary creative scene of south korea has been shown in a visually dense and very attractive exhibition. designboom curated this show in seoul, during the seoul design olympiad in the jamsil stadium, in october last year. the exhibition generated tremendous interest among local visitors and international design professionals. the catalogue is available here. at the same time we organized the seoul world design market.
