Designer:jeonghwa seo + hanna chung
as part of his graduation project for IM masters design academy eindhoven,
‘ripple effect tea table’ by korean industrial designer jeonghwa seo in partnership with
hanna chung is a reflection of eastern mentality towards social relationships.
according to the designers, easterners commonly believe that small changes
of an individual person or object can make big impact on the larger society, thus,
leading to a modest and totalitarian culture. this social tendency described as a
‘ripple effect’ was translated here into tea ceremony table.[via]
