Wonmin Park Plain Cuts

- Wonmin Park -

His practice is discernibly minimalist, and his use of light and color is radical, creating evanescent projects, which give the impression that his pieces have no limits.

From his observations of the world and his environment, he proposes a contemporary design with a contemplative attitude, which finds its roots in Korean tradition and philosophy. This approach is exemplified in Plain Cuts, a new series that focuses on the abstract geometry of construction and virtual lines, which produce the volume. Plain Cuts underlines Park's investigation into the materiality of things. This exploration is inspired by Park's interest in architecture.

Originally from Seoul, South Korea, Park is a graduate from the Design Academy of Eindhoven. After working with a series of prestigious design companies in the Netherlands, he founded Studio Wonmin Park in 2011 in Eindhoven and later established a creative studio in Paris in 2015. His determination to produce emptiness and eternity may be an answer to the overproduction of designed objects. A certain humility that changes from the over mediatization of some designers, especially issued from the Eindhoven Academy.

Lauded for his extraordinary research on the resin process called Haze, Park's contributions to design have been acknowledged and honored on important platforms such as Design Miami/, Design Days Dubai and Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris. His works now belong to important collections, like the Triennial Design Museum in Milan, and also the Museum of Contemporary Art in Seoul.
