The Bojaki collection of inflatable, foldable, flat-pack housewares & furniture aims to integrate the user into the manufacturing process, strengthening the user’s bond to the piece while easing on transportation & production costs.



Though the fabric looks soft & squishy, it is very rigid making it sturdy enough to hang or hold the weight of a sitting person. Consistent use of buckles, strings, & eyelets to bind the unique fabric ensure aesthetic continuity though shapes & purposes vary from piece to piece.



New graduate Jy Yeon Suh from Central Saint Martins has created a new design process involving inflating fabrics with a special foam. The result is a collection of playful homewares with a unique “cushioned” aesthetic. The ‘BOJAKI’ collection makes use of this new manufacturing process for homewares to combat the negative side-effects of mass manufacturing, consumption and transporation.

the target user of the 'total recall agent' seed, is someone who wants to memorize previous experiences, particularly in the case of travelers who want to hold onto vivid memories about their experiences and show them to close friends and family.

the device acts as a 'travel agent' in the shape of a flying balloon that records one's activities while on vacation, using computer technology to share these travel experiences with others. the 'seed' focuses on the way of recording and sharing precious memories as vivid as possible. its services provide three values: sharing, remembering and guiding.

Seung Hoon Park created these woven-together photographic images in response to the urban sprawl he witnessed when walking on the streets of Seoul, Korea, and other large cities. For the TEXTUS series, Park used large pathworks of cut positive 16mm movie films patchworked together to show “the sprawling appearance and complexity of these cities.”

Park explains, “Writing a text, like weaving a fabric are an endless experience as both the text and the fabric can stretch infinitely. I’ve gotten the same feeling when walking in Seoul streets… I use positive 16mm movie film that I cut and load in a large format camera. When processed the result is a mosaic of films, like a detailed patchwork that composes an inextricable labyrinth where the eye can get lost.”

Born in 1978 and lives and works in Seoul
