Mosi Art Object by Studio Yoon Seok-Hyeon
About the Item
Mosi Art Object by Studio Yoon Seok-Hyeon
Dimensions: D 20 x W 43 x H 150 cm
Materials:Mosi, Ott (Ottchil). Fabric
Weight: 15kg
Today, modern textiles are produced cheaper and faster to the utmost under the market logic. Therefore, they are also consumed cheaper and faster, and these patterns of production and consumption have a variety of adverse effects on the environment. The original textures and colors of each fabric are replaced by countless chemical components and lose their value. To rediscover the lost values of the textile materials, Studio Yoon Seok-hyeon pays attention to the Mosi, a Korean traditional ramie fabric. Although ramie fabric is produced worldwide, the traditional Mosi of Hansan in Korea is distinctive with its high quality and long history of production and use. The cultivation and harvesting of Mosi grass, the unique weaving process, and even the bleaching and dyeing of the textile are made in natural ways, so it is eco-friendly and sustainable. Its production process has been designated as a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage of humanity in recognition of its outstanding quality as well as its craftsmanship and community culture. The Mosi is produced only by the hand of artisans in the Hansan area, and it takes about 2 months to make 1 pil of Mosi (W30cm x L2000cm). Craftsmen's spirits and time are woven into the best quality of Mosi. The 'MOSI’, an Ottchil Mosi installation, is an assembly of natural materials and it introduces the potentials, values, and aesthetics of time. Ott as a natural paint also needs a long time to extract its natural color and be dried on Mosi. Studio Yoon Seok-hyeon does believe that these slow processes certainly can create new perspectives which are needed and applicable to contemporary textiles.
Seok-hyeon Yoon
I enjoy revaluing materials and objects which are always around us.
Surroundings of everyday life often become a starting point for my design projects. I observe
and analyze them and then try to link them to design, environment, society, and industry.
My interest in projects is the materiality and socio-cultural value of design objects. With this
interest, each of my projects reflects undiscovered stories of human life.
As a designer, I interpret them with my own perspective and create objects to support and
enhance our everyday life.
My design process follows concept arrangement based on exploring a subject, in-depth research
for materiality and contexts, hands-on practice such as drawing and model making and production.

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.
