The universal beauty of tradition

LIN COLLECTION is a work that has been released in modern times by discovering a universal aesthetic that everyone can sympathize with among the special backgrounds of different cultures, which are commonly divided into East and West.

In 2018, I felt that various design works that I saw when I visited the Milan Furniture Fair were having a hard time gaining global consensus by emphasizing only the cultural specificity of each country. I also met many designs based on tradition in Korea. There were many examples of applying patterns and patterns, and it was the work of applying tradition to modern times in its own way. However, the traditional discourse that has been running with respect should be reconsidered. Modern traditions often misrepresented their original meaning by overly broad interpretation of specificity. We thought that we should find universal elements hidden in cultural specificity and create works that people from various cultures can sympathize with. For about a year after that, he tried to explore and discover aesthetic patterns that penetrate Eastern and Western cultures through architectural travel in Korea, Japan, and Europe, and based on this, the Lin Collection was born.

LIN COLLECTION

林[Lin];forest from Chinese + LIN of line from English

• Construct the furniture From cultural distinct characteristics of Ancient Greek architecture and Asian timber architecture, we abstract universality inside of it as the Beam-to-Column structure to build table from the very origin sense.
• Build a Forest All human being has seen repeated lines of trees from forest. This forest itself is LIN. This table can be connected and ex-pand in both ways of vertical and horizontal just like forest.
• Nature, Human, Balance Wood represents the nature while steel lines are layered on the wood representing artificiality. This is culture made by humanity. Lin table series pursue a transition space as a medium. It connects human and nature to balance.
