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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbit-and-axis) 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.
