The Hanok Eaves Chair embodies the aesthetics of Korea, emphasizing the the natural beauty of the material, proportionality and restraint.
Staying true to its armchair function, it offers a relaxed yet poised posture, distinct from dining and lounge chairs, the dimensions and angles of the backrest, seat, and armrests were meticulously designed.
Prioritizing proportional beauty in the basic structure, the design is simplified to the fullest extent, revealing joinery details and achieving a harmonious blend of edges and curves. The gentle curves and subtle edges evoke Hanok's eaves, a traditional Korean architectural feature.
In this manner, simplified forms, pleasing proportions, and the innate beauty of materials combine to unveil a subtle and unassuming elegance, representing the essence of Korean aesthetics."
Kobeomsuk, both designer and craftsman, personally designs and crafts furniture. This approach, rooted in Kobeomsuk's deep understanding of wood properties, results in unique joinery details. For instance, in the 'Hanok Eaves Chair,' half-blind dovetail joints, typically found in cabinet making, serve as design features, showcasing Kobeomsuk's craftsmanship essence.
We want things to unfold at a slower pace from birth to demise. In contrast to the consumerism era, the value of craftsmanship is not only about aesthetic satisfaction but also a proposal for a lifestyle that emphasizes our humanity.
The wood's warm texture, plush leather seat, and embracing design offer comfortable yet elegant seating.
