Drop Tray is a design work for the 'Korea Project' of the Fritz Hansen 150th Anniversary Exhibition in Seoul. Designer Sukwoo Lee focused on finding the intersection of his personal design tendencies, Koreanness, and Fritz Hansen. In particular, he focused on the story of straight lines and curves, which are his main interests, and the study of the sculptural features of contrast and balance. The theme of the Fritz Hansen 150th anniversary exhibition, 'Eternal Beauty,' is also related to his study for beauty by organizing straight lines and curves into harmonious three-dimensional objects.
Drop Tray is characterized by a three-dimensional interpretation of flat features. He wanted to find the harmony of lines and planes that appears when the flat shapes of straight lines and curves are made three-dimensional. Instead of following traditional Korean design feature, He focused on solving his most personal interest as a designer who grew up with Korean culture, which can be interpreted as exploring Koreaness with a modern sensibility.
