Biography

Byungsub Kim is a designer based in Seoul. His work occupies the space between tradition and the contemporary world, where he merges elements of both to create innovative pieces. Drawing inspiration from antique Korean furniture, brushstrokes in painting, and the modern environment around him, Kim uses steel—typically a rigid and conventional material—to explore new textures and colors, offering a fresh perspective on its potential. His designs extend beyond furniture, transforming everyday objects into immersive spaces that invite both functionality and aesthetic reflection.
