Elan Vital

Because of regularly arranging the motifs of matching cups that imagine a fun encounter, the design is full of dynamism that evokes vivid polka dots, splashes, or bait balls of a large school of fish spinning in the water. Additionally, when viewed from the side or top, the seams of the inner cup shine through or reflect while changing in various ways, giving people a sense of the dynamism of life and filling them with healing and happiness.

Penguin

Penguin is a thermo jug shaped like a polar penguin. The rounded body and the tilted form give the jug a warm and friendly appearance. The handle is set perpendicular to the center of gravity, so the jug leans forward when held and can be used easily by children and older people. The front of the lid is raised like a beak to keep dust away from the spout. The raised back of the lid makes the lid easy to screw on. The shell is made of polypropylene, and the copper-plated double layer glass tank keeps water at 80 degrees Celsius for six hours.

Origami Shikki is a lacquered paper plate made from washi, a traditional Japanese paper. The design combines origami folding with the traditional crafts of washi paper and lacquerware. A lacquer coating makes the plate resistant to water and oil, so the plate can be washed with water and detergent and reused many times. The geometric form is folded from a single sheet of paper, which keeps the plate light and allows it to be folded flat for carrying. The washi is produced with the Echizen Hikake technique, giving a surface texture that changes with the angle of the light.

When the glass is placed upside down on the table, as is common in Korean drinking culture, the base is seen first and recalls an island floating on the sea.
