Dong Yeop [HAN](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seoul-my-soul) creates these adorable sets of cabinets that can be both used for mounting on walls or for storing on the floor. All designs are chic minimalist, compact and have a single feature that stands out whereby empowering each as an individual design piece.

I especially appreciate the thought that went into the making of the toggle-closed cabinet and the [compact house-shaped wall shelf](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-storage).

His other designs include a [three-piece wooden desk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ab019-wall-desk) that is embellished with a coffee cup bibelot that looks like it is sinking into the table. Another one is a simple black two-shelf cabinet design that straps cell phones and books onto its door.

Dong Yeop HAN embodies modern minimalism in his work and cleverly incorporates his personal wit and identity within each design.
