Jinil Park imagines the Drawing Series of furniture, which is a visually deceptive and beautiful capsule of furniture. Each piece looks like it has been literally drawn on a piece of paper but it is truly a tangible and three-dimensional product. Park's design notion centers on the distortion of lines which he believes captures the designer's emotions, artistic expression, and state of mind.
Park drew lines freely and discovered the liberating line on paper, creating strokes that led to the development of the objects. his furniture is not just functional -- it is a statement piece that becomes the focal point of any room. The sketch-like look allows the look to blend into any space, especially for children to foster their creativity.
