Minimalist Lanterns

Joongho Choi Creates Traditional Asian Lighting With a Twist

Korean designer, Joongho Choi, has designed a modern re-interpretation of traditional Korean lanterns called Chorong.

Chorong comes in 2 versions: one with traditional light bulbs, and the other with LED. As a hanging light it can direct the light by pivoting on the pole, or can be held by hand, or can hang down on a fixed metal pole. The Chorong by Joongho Choi lets you decide how traditional or modern you want to be.
