ABOUT
Halin Lee and Eunji Jun are the founders of WKND Lab – a design studio based in Seoul, Korea.
WKND Lab’s work field varies from material research, object, to furniture design. All with material-driven narratives to tell their philosophy about relationships between design, humans, and nature.
The studio pursues simple design that reflects the beautiful texture and color of the founded material. With their designed objects, they aim to introduce and deliver narratives into peoples’ lifestyles, suggesting not just esthetic but also sustainable alternatives.
Material for tomorrow, WKND Lab(위켄드 랩)은 ‘지속 가능한 디자인’을 실천하는 디자인 스튜디오입니다.
디자인과 인간, 인간과 자연, 또 디자인과 자연의 관계에 대한 철학을 전하기 위해 소재 중심의 내러티브가 담긴 디자인을 추구합니다. 주로 동식물성 폐기물 중 충분히 쓸모가 있음에도 버려지는 것 전반에서 쓰임을 찾아 오브젝트로 재탄생시키는 작업을 하고 있습니다. WKND Lab은 단순히 소재를 개발하고 디자인하는 것을 넘어, 친환경적인 삶을 논의하는 장이 되고자 합니다.
