# City-Inspired Stationary Projects UOS ID Designs the Seoul My Soul Project Nodding to Seoul By Amy Duong | Published 2025-01-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seoul-my-soul References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2025/01/21/seoul-my-soul-stationery-collection-pays-tribute-to-iconic-city-landmarks/)  UOS ID presents a look at the [Seoul My Soul](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-seoul-20) project, which is a [stationery merchandise collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moleskine-x-blackpink) celebrating some of the most iconic landmarks in Seoul. The designs give the build an easily recognizable touch whilst also presenting a practical and useful aesthetic. The four places that comprise the Seoul My Soul project include Dongdaemun, Jongno, Hangang, and Yongsan. The N Seoul Tower gives visitors a panoramic view of the city and it is transformed into the TONTI pencil sharpener which celebrates the structure. The TADA brings attention to the Han River as it reflects the Han River Bridge Tape dispenser. ISUSI is a toothpick dispenser that reflects the Changing of the Guard ceremony at Gyeongbokgung Palace.
