SWNA Last 10 Years 'Objects in Context' Solo Exhibition
29 January 2021
The exhibition showcases the outcomes and design processes of various fields such as products, furniture, objects, spaces, and environments that the design office SWNA has worked on from 2010 to 2020. Additionally, 10 chairs created by designers from SWNA will also be displayed. Through this exhibition, SWNA presents its experimental design process, which has crossed boundaries and explored various design fields, media, and materials, centered around industrial design. The objects from the past decade will serve as a compass to gauge SWNA’s attitude, stance, and philosophy toward design. By delving into the unseen processes behind a product’s journey to market, we might be able to reverse-engineer and approach the essence of design itself.
SWNA is a design office led by designer Seokwoo Lee, and its name is an abbreviation of Suk Woo and Associate. The exhibition’s title, “SWNA-ANSW,” emphasizes the presence of the Associates, representing the 10 designers and the 10 wooden chairs they created, to show respect and acknowledgment for their contributions.
