Euljiro stool

 I wanted to design a chair with the name of the region and the culture of the region together.

 Eulji-ro is located in the center of the old city center of Seoul. Eulji-ro used to be an industrial zone that represented Seoul in the past growth period. Small manufacturers are packed in narrow maze-like streets. However, the outskirts of Seoul have developed and the old city center has declined.

Eulji-ro now combines old manufacturers, old restaurants, and millennials to create a harmony of old and new.
 I wanted to design a chair that symbolizes the unique look of this place. 

 The small old restaurants in the maze have two kinds of sitting culture. First, they sit together in front of the restaurant with cheap stool. If you sit in a restaurant, you can sit cross-legged without a chair because it is so small space. Koreans like to sit cross-legged so much that it is called the aristocratic method. 

This stool is a harmonious stool for the outdoor in Eulji-ro. This is a stool where you can see two things that people in Eulji-ro like. You can overlap two stools or sit separately. The harmony of the old and new phrases is expressed in plastic with two materials.
