DDP Design Launching Fair has been unveiling a diverse range of exhibitors and amongst these is the Articlier collection that reflects the brand's sculptural metalscape. It brings attention to the way that acrylic light interacts with the aluminum strength. Articlier is a design studio based in Seoul and the team brings a connection between the divide between modernity and tradition through furniture.
It blends the soul of handmade artistry with the precise technology of machine fabrication. The furniture capsule celebrates the restrained elegance of the Joseon era in terms of its craftsmanship and the functional ethos of Poul Kjærholm. The capsule starts with a selection of high-quality aluminum and it is precisely machined with smiling and turning before it is met with handcrafted touches.
