About Sseuim Turi
Ko Sseuim he turi i hangaia mō te whakamahi i ngā waikaukau puia me ngā papa oranga o Koreana. Ko te tikanga o te ingoa Sseuim ko te "whakamahi wātea" i te reo Koreana. Ko te āhua o te turi e tautoko ana i ngā tūnga takoto, noho, whakawhirinaki me te okioki, nā reira ka taea e ia kaiwhakamahi te kōwhiri i tētahi tūnga e hāngai ana ki tōna kaupapa me tōna manawarutanga. Ko te hanga e whakaatu ana i ngā pae maunga me ngā kōhatu o Koreana, ā, e tuku ana i tētahi wāhi motuhake i roto i te mokowā tuwhera o te waikaukau puia o Koreana. I hangaia a Sseuim ki te rākau mā ngā tikanga mahi rākau tuku iho a Koreana, ā, ka tapahia ngā wāhanga mā te mīhini, kātahi ka honoa. Ko ngā nui o te turi he 2300 ki te 850 ki te 650 mirimita.

- Production Technology
- We used Korean woodworking techniques. In addition, the pieces were separated using CNC machines and combined to produce the results. This production process was carried out through a very difficult process, combining traditional craft technology and modern technology.
- Design Challenge
- The process of capturing Korea's national identity was the most difficult, and among them, the research process of capturing Korean aesthetics as a designer was the most difficult.
It was difficult to find a shape suitable for a Korean space while maintaining the backrest and leaning posture ergonomically at a comfortable angle. - Research
- There are various types of saunas in the world. Among them, people in Korean saunas rest in various positions. The chair design was carried out to enable various postures in a hot sauna and allow perfect rest. For the rest, we visited various saunas to investigate people's attitudes and asked what kind of rest would recharge themselves most through a survey. Through these results, Korea's natural mountains and rocks were brought to the sauna. The form added a function that can accommodate all postures.
- Inspiration
- Sseuim means to use freely in Korean. It is a furniture that can assist with various postures performed in Korean saunas, and you can experience various postures such as lying down, sitting down, leaning, and sleeping according to the user's will and purpose. It provides a private space in an open space called a Korean sauna. It is a design that combines the spatial characteristics of Korean saunas and the convergent characteristics of various cultures with the elements of mountain ranges and stones, which are natural elements.
- Project Duration
- The project started in Gongju sity, Korea in March 2021, completed in December 2021, and exhibited at the Korea Craft Trend Fair.
- Operation Flow
- This work is a piece of furniture that can support various postures in a Korean sauna with the concept of diversity. Reflecting the ethnic characteristics of Korea, all postures of lying, reclining and sitting are permitted according to the purpose and will of the user.
It can take various forms of rest. - Team Members
