Edible Heritage

This design project bridges 18th century heritage with contemporary gift culture. Inspired by the 1774 Sinkang Manuscript, the work integrates the endangered Hokkien language into a honey castella gift set. Through archival reinterpretation and sustainable packaging, the design connects historical maritime trade with food craftsmanship. By imprinting scripts directly onto the cake surface, it transforms historical writing into a tangible experience. The inclusion of female historical witnesses creates a renewed connection between ancient land deeds and everyday life.

Op.2-3

This trophy, designed for the 2024 Seoul Living Design Fair, draws inspiration from basic architectural elements such as columns, beams, and slabs, reinterpreted through contemporary materials and fabrication methods. Crafted in acrylic, it reflects the logic of traditional Korean joinery while exploring light, shadow, and material change. The form shifts with angle and illumination, at times glowing, reflecting, or casting colored shadows, combining structural clarity with sensory depth through precise assembly research.

Transition

Transition is an exhibition of ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement, which has a history of 1,400 years. The open layout has no rear wall, so visitors walk freely and view each arrangement from many angles instead of only from the front. Sunlight and responsive LED lighting change through the day, so the space and the living flowers shift continuously. The pedestals are 3D printed from recyclable resin and can be taken apart, moved and reused. The level, barrier-free floor gives easy access to all visitors.

Fanttik

Fanttik is a packaging design for a series of consumer electronics and outdoor tools. The packaging uses a minimalist form and a rigorous layout, with the brand name placed at the visual center. Product models and function identifiers appear above the brand name, while the brand slogan is placed below, creating a clear information hierarchy. Matte black cardstock paper is combined with gold foil stamping and glossy coating, forming a restrained contrast of textures. The intent is to give practical tools a calm and professional image and to support brand recognition.

Green and brown tones drawn from the herbs create a calm and natural impression.
