Red Dot Design Award / Winner best of the best / Product Design – Interior Design & Architecture (2022)
The MOKA Library in the Hyundai Museum of Kids’ Books & Art presents itself as a multilayered project and an atmospherically condensed world of experience. Explicitly designed for children, it creates an exciting place to discover the world of books. This library sees itself as a cultural space that aims to tell stories and encourage children to explore more than 2,000 books with a focus on the theme of nature. True to this basic idea, the inspiring concept has been created as a subtle spatial design that is noticeable in many details. The ceiling of the library has been decorated with a wealth of excitingly varied design elements. Shapes reminiscent of human figures, faces and leaves are added as layers under the ceiling, inviting visitors to enter and enjoy the rich world of imagination.

it AWARD / Grand Prize / Space Environment Design (2020)
ASIA DESIGN PRIZE / Grand Prize / Space (2021)
'TongTong! A moving line’ is a space in which dots, lines, and surfaces, which are basic elements of a figure, are three-dimensionally and organically arranged. They fill the space in a variety of ways by harmonizing with the colors we encounter most commonly in everyday life. Visitors pass by this place, not just an exhibition. You will have a “hands-on” experience where you can directly touch the sculptures. You can freely do creative activities. Experience and interpret the child’s emotions, personality, and life through the colors that the child likes. It offers a unique experience, which in turn contributes to the child's education.

The aim of the interior is to create a space for the artist’s exhibition that introduces us to a unique world of imagination illustrated in delicate and realistic watercolor paintings. A wall composed of four arches divides the space, and each space is colored in different pastel shades. As soon as you step into the entrance, the playful, multi-layered exhibition space hidden behind the wall reveals itself, spurring the imagination of the viewer. A typical rectangular space is turned into an unexpected exhibition hall that allows you to unleash your fairytale imagination and have completely new experiences in it.
Moongchi and Cancellina
iF DESIGN AWARD / Communication - Branding (2017)
The Moongchi and Cancellina exhibition is presented by the Hyundai Museum of Kids' Books & Art to show how artists work and express through the original paintings of two characters, Moongchi and Cancellina. The Hangul (Korean alphabet) typography used for identity features a touch of formativeness, allowing them to be seen as if they were a drawing. We intended this to arouse children's interest and bring harmony between the two characters. Characterized by the unique formativeness of Hangul typography, the exhibition's identity has been utilized in a wide range of applications, including a large banner, spatial graphics and book design.
