About Sseuim Stol
Sseuim je stol, zasnovan za uporabo v korejskih savnah in spa centrih. Ime Sseuim v korejščini pomeni prosto uporabljati.

Oblika se navdihuje po korejskih gorskih verigah in kamnih ter ponuja zaseben prostor znotraj odprtega prostora korejske savne. Sseuim je izdelan iz lesa po tradicionalnih korejskih tesarskih metodah, deli pa so strojno izrezani in nato sestavljeni. Stol meri 2300 x 850 x 650 milimetrov.

- 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
