Wind Bloom Story
The pendant light, named "Wind Bloom", is the centrepiece of a project that celebrates the beauty and light of nature. This design is crafted using Hanji material and aims to capture the graceful movement of flower petals swaying in the wind.
The "Wind Bloom" lighting was born to illuminate the theme of "Nature's Light".
This theme emphasizes that the beauty and light of nature always surround us. The wind is one of nature's forces, and in this project, the wind gently sways the pendant's petals.
"Wind Bloom" represents a flower swaying in the wind, as the name suggests. Made from Hanji material, this flower is lightweight and offers an aesthetic beauty that is accentuated when it dances in harmony with the wind. This item symbolizes the harmony and connection with nature.
Why Wind Bloom?
"Wind Bloom" symbolizes a flower blossoming under the influence of nature's wind. The name was chosen to represent how the wind gently lifts the flower and accentuates its beauty.
The wind reflects nature's light, and the flower symbolizes the beauty of nature.
By combining these two elements, "Wind Bloom" was created as a beautiful pendant that emphasizes the light and beauty of nature.
This product serves as a reminder to cherish and respect the harmony with nature and the beauty that surrounds us.

The process of creating the pendant light involved first installing the lighting fixture, followed by layering 30 sheets of hanji petals on top. The demonstration continued by showing the meticulous steps of fitting the lighting socket into the central hole.
Measurement of Wind Bloom Light
A total of 30 petals are needed, with each individual petal measuring 86cm in length, 8cm in width, and featuring a hole with a diameter of 4cm positioned 8cm away from the center.

Package
The name “KKOT” for the furniture embodies the meaning of “flower” in Korean, symbolising both the floral patterns of traditional Korean Dancheong and the fusion of traditional Korean colours with modern elegance, resulting in a sophisticated and contemporary lounge table. Additionally, “light” signifies the way the floral patterns on the tabletop shine and enhance the beauty of the design when illuminated. Thus, the name “KKOT” encapsulates the essence of the furniture’s beauty and modern sensibility, while also paying homage to Korean culture and tradition.
The design incorporates these traditional elements. Inspired by the low table, the furniture piece is crafted, while the design draws inspiration from the floral motifs found in Dancheong. Additionally, the colours of the side tables are extracted from the obangsaek palette. Through this integration, the product seeks to blend Korean tradition and beauty with modern design, preserving unique cultural values.
