Guseul. Ceiling light
About the Item
Guseul, by Wknd Lab
Color: Black, red, mother of pearl lining
Size: 18 x 18 x 300 cm
Material: Wood, Wood Laquer and Copper
Usage: Lighting / Sculptural art
Weight: 25 kg
Guseul is an experimental ceiling light crafted from multiple spheres employing various techniques. It consists of four distinct components: the black sphere, embellished black sphere, red sphere, and lighting fixture.
The black sphere is meticulously crafted using Ott, a Korean lacquer made from natural wood resin known for its durability that can last for centuries. The black sphere with embellishments features intricate lines made from mother-of-pearl, adding a touch of elegance. Meanwhile, the red sphere showcases the ancient Chil-bo (cloisonné) technique, a traditional method for decorating metal objects.
This piece is a fusion of diverse techniques and rich history, blending modern furniture design with our traditional culture to create a more accessible aesthetic. It represents an attempt to integrate contemporary design sensibilities with our heritage.

WKND Lab, a duo designer studio founded by Eunji Jun and Halin Lee. WKND Lab’s work field varies from material research, object, to furniture design. All with material-driven narratives to tell our philosophy about relationships between design, humans, and nature. The studio pursues simple design that reflects the beautiful texture and color of the founded material. With their designed objects, they aim to introduce and deliver narratives into peoples' lifestyles, suggesting not just esthetic but also sustainable alternatives.
Wkend Lab believe that the users have a deep thirst to re-invent forgotten materials and craftsmanship. As Korean designers they believe that their culture has far more to offer than Kpop and K-dramas. The designers want to go beyond the conventional representation of traditional craft techniques, they would like to propose a new way of looking from a new perspective combined with the contemporary aesthetics that they pursue.
Globalization of the whole world was rapidly triggered as national borders online disappeared. The world is becoming a new mixed culture altogether. Accordingly, the longing for the traditional identity is also occurring simultaneously. However traditional craftsmanship is being replaced with fast mass-produced goods. Also, even the items in the market that claim that they are inspired by traditional methods are made similar only in appearance, and there are many cases where traditional materials are not actually used.
