Bal is a tapestry crafted from traditional Korean knots of cotton ropes and adorned with the Chil-bo (cloisonné) technique, a traditional method for decorating metal objects.
This piece, by WKND Lab, showcases the Korean traditional knot-making method reimagined into a contemporary design, honoring the traditional knot - making process with sustainable, animal cruelty-free materials.
Each knot is meticulously handcrafted and tied, blending Korean traditional techniques with modern tapestry methods. Representing a fusion of wisdom passed down through generations, this project emphasizes collaboration with traditional craftsmen deserving of greater recognition, embodying the ethos of long-term sustainability."

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.
