New waves of design

These exhibits inside a room at the Kumho Museum of Art include not only complete chairs by "Design Methods", a team of young furniture designers, but also the references that inspired them and their concept drawings, models and parts, which show the designers' work process.

These are part of the "New Wave: Furniture and the Emerging Designers" exhibition, which feature three individual designers and two teams of designers, most of whom are in their 30s.

Rather than artistic furniture, this exhibition focuses on works by young designers who have great interest in applying new technologies or environmental and other social issues to their works, the museum explained.

The show runs until June 30 at the museum located in the art zone east of Gyeongbok Palace in central Seoul.
