Description

The Jagae table by WKND Lab is a unique coffee table with inlaid mother-of-pearl embellishments on lacquerware furniture. Every piece of mother of pearl was cut off by a knife into designated shapes in a mosaic format. The table is designed by WKND Lab and handcrafted by a nacre master who has been doing nacre for 50 years as a collaboration.

This table was an attempt to make a contemporary piece to escape the typical style of overly decorating figurative ornaments. Furniture using jagae(mother of pearls) is considered “old-generation’s furniture” in Korea. To change the misconceptions and make them approachable to younger generations, we introduced contemporary aesthetics to this piece. In addition, the Jagae table uses wood resin for its finishing, which makes it biodegradable and eco-friendly.

The pattern and color of the Mather of pearls can be customized with limitations.
