About the Item
-This listing is only about RUG (you can find the stool in my listings)-
collection implies the IDEA of long-term sustainability by working with masters of each field who deserve much more recognition and incorporating modern furniture design with our traditional culture to make it more approachable.
The rug and stool combination was inspired by an old Korean phrase “When the tiger used to smoke” meaning “once upon a time”, and humor from folk paintings of bunnies holding the pipe for the tiger in horror.
Jasoo (Korean :??) – Korean embroidery is one of the representative oriental embroidery and has all the general characteristics of oriental embroidery.
This piece is a collaboration of two generations – Rug is made by HyunJi Kim, a young tufting artist working in Seoul, and the embroidery is done by Bokhee Gwak, a skilful craftsman in Gyeonggi-do.
