Jinil Park, South Korean designer, has created a new range of furniture from intersecting wires that appears like a two-dimensional sketch. Jinil Park’s Drawing Series comprises four pieces, including two chairs, two lamps and a table, which give the impression of roughly drawn sketches.
The furniture is made by hammered wires of different thicknesses to distort the lines in order to recreate variations in the lines drawn with a pen. The wires are intersected and welded together until a strong enough structure was achieved.
Park began by sketching furniture with intersecting lines and selected her favourites to recreate in three dimensions according to how feasible they would be as structures. The Drawing Series was exhibited at the Gwangju Design Biennale in South Korea from September to November 2013.
Jinil Park says, “The key point of my work is the moments where the line is distorted. They express the designer’s feeling, status, and emotion.Instinctively, I created the conjunction of these thin wires that eventually hold the human weight while a single wire cannot.”
