Design Legend Interview

26 April 2017

I majored in metal crafts at the university and naturally walked the designer's path.

Jewelry design while doing part-time sales at a jewelery shop in collegeI was interested.I have a dream to make a brand with the jewelery I designed.

I decided to become a designer myself

jewelery designer and producer.The concept of a tree will make more story-oriented work..

We need to constantly research and strive without losing the initial focus.
And you have to enjoy designing.

The great designer is the designer who is trusted by the customer.A good designer is a designer who can convey the meaning of design without expert knowledge.

A good design is created when a designer does not lose an introductory and
design that leads to sympathy and communication

Design determines the aesthetic shape that stimulates sales. In that sense, design is a silent sales.

I would like to make a tiara with the motif of Korean bridal crown and golden crown.This is because it is a symbol of Phoebe shining woman.

I am Korean with my oriental and modern design. I want to do solo show in Europe and USA. My design is a design that can bring out empathy and communication without expert knowledge.

It is scarcity, comfort and passion for design.

Coco Chanel is the mentor of my designer life. She has her own design philosophy and is unique.

I like Chanel's design style and design color. I especially admire her passion for design philosophy and design.

I think that the design that impresses the customer is a great design.
And when the customer feels that my heart is being conveyed in my work.

You should research your own design without constantly imitating others' designs

I would have become a teacher.

Designed as a formative realization of a given purpose. It says to plan.

The support and encouragement of our family and neighbors and the trust of our customers have enabled me now.

have been constantly researching and trying to find my own design color. And my designs have a story and a heart.

Jewelry has been regarded only as a luxury item, not as an artwork. However, the wearer soon realized that the jewel brings comfort and joy to a single piece of art.

It will be a good experience for designers to get evaluation from the public through competition or exhibition.

It is a project that is a motif of nature, but it brings the transition of applications with added functionality

Even if I do not exist in this world, my design is to make it exist forever

It is expected that the meaning of design will be conveyed and the design development will become an art in life.
I would like a designer who can listen to the customers' voice and actively reflect on the design.

It brings convenience and warmth of life and improves the quality of life.

I am studying design for next project as usual.

The design is different, but the passion until the finished product is the same. So everything is precious.

I would like the industry to lead more fashion by studying more designs and following trends.

It seems that the most attention is focused on electronic products. Especially for software and telecommunication equipment.

Difficulty depends on design. From design to completion, it takes a 1month to or 1year

Design concepts and themes are determined first.

When I leave this world, I will live a life in which only my own person can smile and everyone around me can cry.

There is no trend for me. It is a trend that I make. Instead, sympathy and communication must be inherent in the background.

It determines fit, use and form.

I prefer analog rather than digital. So, I draw up idea sketches freely through hand drawing.and I prefer carving with soft wax that is free form and expression.

I think it is aesthetics, sustainability and environmentally friendly.

It is design inspiration, concept and intention.
And I want to ask about the design philosophy that only I have.

I'm curious about the inspiration and intent of the design.

I think design philosophy, design style and thoughts are the same and can be good partners.
It can also be your best partner if you have a predictable future.

When the university did not decide on the subject of the master's thesis. There is a professor who gave advice to me. The word "Do what you can do best" has become a mentor to design.

Wisdom to see the world, wisdom to control the mind, etc. I became a mentor of my mind in design..

It is a study through sampling of many idea sketches and infinite repetition..

I want to talk to the preliminary designers who have dreams of designers to lead the future

I feel sorry. But it was a chance to instill a sense of challenge towards the Platinum prize and thank you for this A`Design award

Favorite color is blue, place is design lab, food is spicy food, season is autumn, and my favorite things are computer, camera, and mobile phone.My favorite brand is Coco Chanel.

I work on the design and setting of old jewelery of customers.
Old jewelery has different memories. I put the memories in a jewelery design and have them reborn with a new name. I feel rewarded when I am happy to find memories that customers have forgotten.

A good idea brings good design inspiration and leads me to a new design world every day..

I never thought of being a designer when I was a child.

It seems to be the age when the public not only a few can communicate with the design.
I have not thought of it until after 1,000 years, but it seems that a new world that I could not think of would be unfolding. I am sad that I do not exist, but my design will stay forever and miss me.

I would like you to recognize that jewelery is an item that completes fashion as an art ornament in everyday life.

Jewelry design while doing part-time sales at a jewelery shop in college I was interested.

I work on the design and setting of old jewelery of customers.
Old jewelery has different memories. I put the memories in a jewelery design and have them reborn with a new name. I feel rewarded when I am happy to find memories that customers have forgotten.

It is to materialize the purpose as a form. and I think It is another language for communicating

The story that I want to express is solved in formative way, meaning and functionIt is a design that is delivered well and impressed.

The design is different, but the passion until the finished product is the same.
So everything is precious.

It is a design philosophy. I have been studying design and making brand with my own design philosophy. It became the motto that made me of the present.

I prefer waxing work that can make shapes freely,The main material is gold.

It is possible to solve a story that other people can not think of.There is, of course, sympathy and communication in this.

It is the delivery of design concepts, expressions, and functions.

I imagine what I designed when it was finished formally, and it is always full of excitement.It is like a mother who conceives a baby and is happy to wait for a baby to be born after 10 months.

It makes me feel proud of my job as a designer.

The design and the concept are united, and intuitively convey the meaning.

The meaning of the design should be conveyed as it is, and the design which is original and the trust of the customer is good design.

I think that the social responsibility of the designer is to design a product that the society needs, recognizing that it is directly connected with the society, environment, and sustainability.

It seems that the most attention is focused on electronic products. Especially for software and telecommunication equipment.

The second solo exhibition in 2006 was at the Lotte Hotel in Seoul,The third solo exhibition will be held in December 2017.

My work is about designing a story on a theme called tree.
This is the creativity I have. The source of my design inspiration is the idea and philosophy of nature and everyday life.

My design style is abstracting storytelling. My work is characterized by visualizing my thoughts and emotions and expressing them in a figurative form.

I live in Seoul, Korea. Korean traditional patterns have helped to study functional design combining modern beauty under the concept of modern aesthetics found in classics.
The nature of Korea, which has four distinct seasons, is a source of design inspiration.

I operate my design studio.And to set up design counseling and new product projects for other companies

Do not look at the present, judge the possibility of being a designer to lead the future.
And judging whether you have a sense of responsibility and enthusiasm, you can meet a good designer.

t depends on who the client is.For example, if you are a customer, you can sketch a design after identifying age, occupation, style, color, religion, motivation, and budget

Antique furniture, sunglasses, coffee cups, golf wear, shoes, handbag...

I wake up in the morning, have a cup of coffee, watch the diary and check the schedule. And sometimes we meet customers, sometimes we do design work.
Sometimes we watch concerts, musicals, art exhibitions and even play golf early in the morning.I am always full of excitement because every day is different for me..

Enjoy the design. And set your own design philosophy. And always challenge.

If you do not have your own design philosophy, do not become a designer. If you do not have your own design philosophy Not a designer.

It should be an art in daily life faithful to the essence of the product and the visual persistence that raises the cognitive value.

Design and concept should be designed in harmony, and visual meaning and function should be conveyed.

My work is based on storytelling design, motifs come from nature and everyday life.

There are many times when I work without sleep. And I do even work on holidays.
But I do not think it is pain but I think it is happiness. Because it is a passion for work.

Difficulty depends on design. From design to completion, it takes a 1month to or 1year.

Where do you get design inspiration from? And what do you think while designing

It was a great help for me to work as a designer of a company that could see the production process at once.
It has always been a leap for the bigger market as a leader in the jewelery market, and I was able to dream bigger in that company

My design and the person who trusts me is the main customer. They say that when I wear my work, comfort and peace and the mind of the designer are conveyed through the works.
And because of their scarcity and artistry.

The story becomes the theme, and the design which harmonizes the art and the practicality which became the concept of nature.
Because if you see the design concept, you can see the story.

I will stick to the project for my solo exhibition in December.

I develop my own design myself.

There is a work called "Yeolliji" which tells the story of a love between a man and a woman in a tree.It is a story that tells the story that a loving man and a woman are born again in the middle of the day in the same time and are born again as a tree.
