Element

Element is a kitchen hood designed for contemporary kitchens. The body combines glass and black steel with white backlit touch controls. An additional modular shelf can be added, making the hood more versatile and adaptable to different requirements. Lighting is diffused over the hob, and the intensity is adjustable through a dimmer function. The perimeter suction is hidden from view, while Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity allow operation through an application, voice assistants or manual controls. A quiet motor keeps noise low during use.

Park1538 Gwangyang

Park1538 is located in a city with a long history of steel. The project turns this industrial past into a cultural place open to the public and introduces visitors to the material, the process, and the history of making steel. Steel is often seen as heavy and rigid, but this project shows another side of the material by expressing flexibility through form and space. A cantilever hall creates an open plaza below, while vertical ribs guide visitors through layered spaces and link the different levels of the building.

Snow Park

Snow Park is an exhibition center for a large indoor ski resort. The interior is arranged as six themed scenes: Ice Lake, Ice Tunnel, Ice Cave, Ice Light, Ice Cone and Ice House. Glass fiber reinforced gypsum shapes the flowing walls and ribbon-shaped light fixtures, while translucent ice jade stone lines the tunnel area. Holographic projections, screens and dynamic lighting guide visitors along an immersive route. Thirty-six structural columns are absorbed into the streamlined layout. The flexible plan also allows a later shift to commercial use.

Flow 360

Flow 360 is an ergonomic office chair designed for long periods of seated work. The follow supporting structure allows the independent lumbar support to move with the waist and fit the body curve in real time. An adaptive weight activity cable mechanism responds to different body weights and sitting positions, from upright to reclined, without manual operation. The armrest adjusts in several directions, and a trifold footrest supports the legs. Recycled plastics, fireproof materials, water-based eco-leather and breathable mesh fabric are used in the chair.
