Seongyong Lee
I like things look simple but thorough consideration behind.
I like things which are good to look at and can be used intuitively.
I respect the power of hand craft.
I respect the wisdom of mass production.
I wish my works can grow with appropriate functions, beauties and passions in everyday life.
