About Daejo Табурети
Натхненний філософією Соетсу Янагі, Даеджо переосмислює стосунки з меблями, перетворюючи дерев'яний табурет на символ непролетної краси. Виготовлений із деревини твердого клена за допомогою прецизійної CNC технології та традиційних технік, кожен табурет Даеджо втілює довговічність та бездоганну майстерність. Унікальна текстура деревини надає індивідуальності кожному виробу, відображаючи його шлях від лісу до майстерні. Долаючи виклики, Даеджо виходить за межі функціональності, стаючи скульптурним мистецтвом, що збагачує простір позачасовою елегантністю.

- Production Technology
- In the production of the Daejo stool, Hard Maple wood, renowned for its durability and fine grains, is utilized through a precision cutting process (CNC) combined with traditional woodworking techniques. The wood's variations lend themselves beautifully to the creation of furniture that is not only strong but also has a naturally inviting texture. Each seat features grain patterns akin to fingerprints, unique to every piece, telling a story of the wood's journey from forest to workshop.
- Design Challenge
- The creative challenge of the Daejo project was finding the delicate balance between traditional craftsmanship and modern design aesthetics. This required seamlessly blending centuries-old woodworking techniques with advanced CNC technology, demanding meticulous attention to detail and numerous iterations through prototyping. Historical perspectives on furniture design and societal expectations for functionality and aesthetics further complicated the process. External factors such as production constraints, technological limitations, and the quest for sustainable materials posed additional hurdles to overcome.
Despite these challenges, the Daejo stools transcend their functional purpose, emerging as sculptural pieces that transform everyday objects into works of art. This commitment to sustainable luxury is evident in the meticulous selection of materials, expert craftsmanship, and thoughtful design. Beyond being mere seating options, the Daejo stools embody a thoughtful intentionality, seamlessly integrating into our lives and spaces while elevating them with their timeless elegance. - Inspiration
- Inspired by philosopher Soetsu Yanagi's book "The Beauty of Everyday Things" (2019), Daejo seeks to redefine our relationship with everyday objects. Yanagi's philosophy, advocating care, longevity, and appreciation for our belongings, resonates deeply with Daejo's ethos. Motivated by this vision, the series elevates the humble wooden stool into an object of enduring beauty and significance. Through meticulous craftsmanship and thoughtful design, Daejo embodies Yanagi's notion that everyday possessions should evoke feelings of respect and affection. By embracing simplicity and elegance, Daejo invites users to rediscover the beauty inherent in the simplest of objects, fostering a deeper appreciation for the tangible manifestations of our surroundings.
- Project Duration
- The project is part of an ongoing initiative initiated during my Aesthetic studies, commencing in 2020 and continuing beyond the submission deadline in June 2022.
- Operation Flow
- Daejo stools are meant to be appreciated through their effortless operation and transformative presence. Users can seamlessly interact with the stools, sitting, observing, and moving with ease. Each stool's unique design offers a different seating experience, catering to various preferences and spaces. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail and durable materials, including Hard Maple wood, these stools are built to last for generations. Their enduring quality ensures they remain functional and aesthetically pleasing over time, becoming cherished pieces that enhance living spaces for years to come. Through superior craftsmanship and thoughtful design, Daejo stools deliver unparalleled performance, enriching the user experience and leaving a lasting impression on generations to come.
