Jungin Lee creates work, which engages her thinking with an intuitive and unified narrative. With an academic background in product and furniture design, Lee’s approach is one of pure self- expression and instinct. Her furniture and objects are absorbed with materiality and experimentation. Each piece is handmade with honesty, rawness and irregularity in its chosen material.

The fabric folds into a seat in 15 mins. A mixed jesmonite will be poured into the soft mould and then cured in to form the hard inner structure. From the outside, the seat will still retain the softness of the woven fabric/paper. As a benefit of its process and material, it is less than 1cm thick and lightweight. It is an unconventional process of moulding to create one of a kind object using an industrial process.
