Two boards. Two tools. Six hours.
Synopsis
Given a challenge by Bahk Jong Sun, the furniture maker behind the Oscar-winning film Parasite, to design and build a chair from two boards in six hours. I focused on pure connection. Each joint was cut and press-fitted, relying on joinery and proportion instead of hardware or glue.
The result is a flat-packable chair that finds beauty in what is functional, minimal.

Minimalism isn’t less — it’s the art of subtracting what distracts so function, proportion, and beauty can speak.
One idea, no noise
If the joinerys explains the form, the rest can disappear
