korean design

Contemporary Korean design stands out with a distinct focus on functionality and flexibility. Like in New York City, where space is at a premium, urban homes in South Korea are often compact and have a limited floor plan. As a result, designers need to get even more creative when designing furniture and products for these apartments. Which results in highly ingenious designs that – more often than not – solve several everyday problems at once. Curated for their inventiveness as much as for their simple elegance, these projects showcase the best of contemporary Korean design.
