Looking at this from your computer screen you might find it hard to believe that these pieces of furniture are anything more than rough sketches. Park, a designer who is still in her 20s, began by sketching furniture with intersecting lines and then selected the best ones to become three dimensional, taking structure into consideration.

The Drawing Series was exhibited at the Gwangju Design Biennale in South Korea late last year.

Park used wires of various thicknesses to recreate the appearance of hand drawn lines. She used intersection to make the pieces structurally sound and welded the wires together. 

‘The key point of my work is the moments where the line is distorted. They express the designer’s feeling, status, and emotion. In the matter of design, the line plays a very basic but also crucial role because it is an element that generates a standard point for both the beginning and the end of any work piece,’ said Park. 

‘Instinctively I created the conjunction of these thin wires that eventually holds the human weight while a single wire cannot. By this, I could materialise the 2D drawing to 3D generously,’ said Park.
