KOREAN DESIGNERS NETWORK WORLDWIDE (KDNEW)
Marais / Bastille / République
Korean Designers Network Worldwide(KDNEW) is a networking initiative led by Korea Institute of Design Promotion, Korea's national design body. For Paris Design Week Factory 2024, we proudly present three KDNEW members based in Stockholm and Seoul: here, we feature their specially inspired creations from stunning furniture pieces to innovative lighting projects. Kunsik Choi & Seoyoung Shin are designers working within the fields of furniture, sculptural objects (Choi) and textile craft and arts (Shin) - and currently base their practices in Stockholm. Mars Hwasung Yoo founded the Stockholm-based BYMARS and co-founded Seoul-based lighting brand AGO, serving as its creative director. Jongha Choi's work focuses on sculptures and installations, with a deep interest in the mechanisms embedded in everyday objects. See more
CIRKUS by Mars Hwasung Yoo
CIRKUS approached function and technology with a playful gesture. U-shape modules can be moved and directed in diverse ways. CIRKUS collection comes with a wall lamp, a track rail lamp, and two types of chandeliers to become a customized centerpiece.
Two Realms (Chair) by Kunsik Choi
The structure of the Two Realms chair resides on the boundary between completion and incompletion. It was designed to blur the clarity of its form, conveying different impressions depending on the viewing angle.
De-dimension by Jongha Choi
With a deep interest in the invisible mechanisms embedded in everyday objects, Choi's de-dimension series reflects a notion of the image as agent (a sign to the referent) to an experience, where the image itself may offer a sufficiently rich experience.
Afterglow (Textile artwork) by Seoyoung Shin
Afterglow transformed the fleeting moments of dawn and dusk on Öland into woven paintings on canvas, capturing their essence. Threads were used to trace outlines, secured by nailing them onto the weaving.
VOYAGE by Mars Hwasung Yoo
The VOYAGE series embodies images of sails harnessing the wind, ships cutting through waves alongside migrating whales. It is inspired by the wind and sea that symbolize Jeju Island off the south coast of South Korea.
Open Wall (Room divider) by Kunsik Choi
Open Wall serves as a room divider, the outcome of an exploration into the correlation between public and private spaces. It functions as a wall that establishes a space for communication without entirely obstructing the area.

MOZZI by Mars Hwasung Yoo
A gentle dimple in the middle of the MOZZI lamp reminds us of Mochi, a soft and chewy Japanese rice-cake. Any residential space that needs ambient light to soften the mood can be a new home for MOZZI.
Ihop (glass vase) by Kunsik Choi
Ihop is a Swedish word meaning “together.” It was intended to incorporate the making process itself into the final design of the vase. Each vase consists of two parts assembled together and the top parts are shaped by the sensibilities of the glassblower.
