the blend of najeonchilgi and stainless steel frames a piece of unfamiliar furniture by byungsub kim and minchae kang creating a strong structural contrast. najeonchilgi is one of the traditional korean crafting techniques, while the combination of traditional korean craftsmanship and unfamiliar materials is a new interpretation of ‘korean things’.
