About Op.2-3 Pangunahing Gamit: Tropeo
Teksto ng Aklat: Ang tropeong ito, na dinisenyo para sa 2024 Seoul Living Design Fair, ay kumukuha ng inspirasyon mula sa mga pangunahing elemento ng arkitektura tulad ng mga haligi, biga, at slab, na muling binigyang-kahulugan sa pamamagitan ng mga kontemporaryong materyales at pamamaraan ng paggawa. Ginawa sa acrylic, sinasalamin nito ang lohika ng tradisyonal na Koreanong pagkakabit ng kahoy habang sinusuri ang liwanag, anino, at pagbabago ng materyal. Ang anyo ay nagbabago ayon sa anggulo at pag-iilaw, kung minsan ay kumikinang, sumasalamin, o naghahagis ng may-kulay na mga anino, pinagsasama ang kalinawan ng istruktura sa lalim ng pandama sa pamamagitan ng masusing pananaliksik sa pagbubuo.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- This is the trophy design for the 2024 Seoul Living Design Fair. Inspired by fundamental architectural elements, such as beams, columns, and slabs, the design reinterprets traditional Korean joinery using acrylic. The trophy’s form responds to light and angle: at times glowing and casting stained-glass-like reflections, at others becoming a dark mirror or a silent, solid mass. Three versions were created—Special, Product, and Space Prizes—each rendered in RGB hues symbolizing light itself.

- Production Technology
- This project also served as an experiment in translating architectural and furniture joinery techniques into a smaller scale. It involved a series of tests to determine tolerances that allow precise acrylic assembly without breakage, along with studies to identify the optimal colors and levels of transparency. The final outcome was achieved through extensive exploration of transparency, translucency, opacity, reflectivity, dyeing, tinting, and color mixing.
- Design Challenge
- Wood was fragile, while rigid paper allowed for easy assembly but presented issues with warping and finish. Aluminum lost its precision and deformed during cutting. While 3D printing offered structural stability, it was excluded due to its incompatibility with the interlocking design language.
Ultimately, acrylic was chosen for its ability to transmit and reflect light, casting colored shadows while glowing on its own. However, tests were required to determine the optimal tolerances for assembly without breakage, as well as to identify suitable colors and levels of transparency. - Research
- Under a tight timeline, it was necessary to explore multiple formal alternatives for the trophy while simultaneously studying the complex joinery details at a small scale using various materials.
- Inspiration
- This project explores the universal language of architecture to evoke new experiences and meanings. Fundamental elements, such as beams, columns, walls, and floors, are reconfigured with contemporary materials to defamiliarize the everyday and invite renewed reflection. By reinterpreting traditional joinery through modern techniques, the work honors history while opening paths toward the future.
- Project Duration
- The project started in January and finished in February 2024 in Seoul, and was exhibited in the Seoul Living Design Fair 2024 in March.
- Operation Flow
- Placed by a sunlit window, it takes on entirely different forms and impressions depending on the time, weather, and the viewer’s perspective.
