Island Glass

Island

Island is a drinking glass made for soju, a popular Korean liquor. The form of Island is inspired by the Korean islands Dokdo and Ulleungdo. The name of each island is engraved in Korean letters on the base, and the outer shape follows the lines of these letters. When the glass is placed upside down on the table, as is common in Korean drinking culture, the base is seen first and recalls an island floating on the sea. Island is hand crafted from unleaded crystal, a clear material that supports fine detail and is safe for people and the environment.

Obj01 Lamp

Obj01

Obj01 is a table lamp made from a single sheet of raw metal, which can be steel, stainless steel or brass. The sheet is cut by laser and assembled by hand with a rubber hammer, without welded joints. Simple geometric shapes form the lamp: a rectangle, a circle and a cylinder that holds the LED light source. The circle, once cut out, becomes the shade. The metal surface is polished by hand and sealed with wax. An integrated touch dimmer uses the conductive body, so touching any side switches the light and sets the brightness. The lamp measures 38 x 22 x 7 cm.
