With deep respect for design and acknowledging the urgent need for a circular transformation, FÓLK creates objects and furniture that enable the circularity of materials. Some of FÓLKs circular designs—such as The Airbag and The Lava Vase—have already become modern design icons, expressing how one’s waste can become another’s treasure. FÓLK explores new circular systems and develops designs from materials that are discarded, disregarded or leftover and through that journey aspires to facilitate people and companies to create more responsible interior solutions.

With deep respect for design and an urgent need for a circular transformation FÓLK introduces CIRCULAR LANDSCAPES during 3daysofdesign 2024. Influenced by the state of the earth and the single use of materials in today’s world, FÓLK explores and creates new designs from materials that are discarded, disregarded or leftover. Following-up on FÓLKs 2023 award winning circular designs, this year, FÓLK’s experiments take a deeper look into the woods of waste materials and how they can be repurposed through experimental processes in collaboration with designers and manufacturers. The exhibition’s aim is to inspire and demonstrate how design can transform a material from scrap to beauty with clever design and impactful use.

MANO design studio is a Seoul–based studio founded in 2016 by Bo Ah Kim. With a background in interior design in Korea and further studies in Product Design in Milan, Kim develops work at the intersection of traditional Korean craft and contemporary design. Her practice focuses on lighting and objects made from Hanji—traditional Korean paper hand–pressed from mulberry bark. Each piece is made by hand: cutting, folding, and stitching to draw out the quiet dialogue between light and material. At the heart of her work is the act of stitching itself. Each stitch is not decorative, but a record—of time, attention, and the steady rhythm of the hand. The work holds what cannot be seen: the duration and care inscribed into every mark.
