About WKND Lab

Halin Lee and Eunji Jun are the founders of WKND Lab - a design studio based in Seoul, Korea. WKND Lab’s work field varies from material research, and object, to furniture design. All with material-driven narratives to tell our philosophy about relationships between design, humans, and nature. The studio pursues design that reflects the beautiful texture and color of the found material. With their designed objects, they aim to introduce and deliver narratives into peoples' lifestyles, suggesting not just esthetics but also sustainable alternatives.
