OpenLab Graphics — Official Design Drop APRIL DROP · OBJECT : KOREAN ARCHIVE This project explores foundational Korean material and spiritual motifs as contemporary abstraction. Traditional forms are reduced to volume, light, and symbol — reframed for modern interiors through stillness and intention.   달항아리 · 자개 | DAL HANG-ARI · JAGAE Moon Jar · Mother of Pearl [dahl hang-ah-ree · jah-gae] Abundance · Wholeness · Fortune · Protection A vessel that holds nothing — and everything. Rendered in the light of jagae — reinterpreted as a field of eternal presence for the wall. Historical Function The Moon Jar was crafted in Joseon-era Korea as an offering vessel — its imperfect roundness believed to invite warmth, abundance, and good fortune into the home. No two were made alike. 자개 | Jagae — Mother of Pearl For centuries, jagae has adorned the most sacred objects in Korean culture — royal furniture, ceremonial vessels, objects passed between generations. Its iridescent surface was believed to carry three powers: to attract wealth and prosperity, to preserve what matters across time, and to repel negative energy from the home. It was never decorative. It was intentional. What It Brings A full round form. A surface built from light. In Korean tradition, this combination is an invitation — for abundance, for protection, for something good to arrive and stay. Spatial Energy The jar asks nothing of the room. It simply holds space — the way light does, the way silence does. A presence that settles rather than demands.   About the Artist Designed by Seung Lee — one of OpenLab's featured artists working at the intersection of Korean and Oriental tradition and the modern American home. Seung's work begins with objects that have been carried across centuries — vessels, symbols, forms. He strips them of nostalgia and rebuilds them as something you'd want on your wall today. Not a museum piece. Not a souvenir. A reinterpretation that belongs exactly where it lands.

Spatial Energy Clear structural protection creates a subconscious sense of safety.The repeated curves form visual rhythm — and rhythm brings continuity. Protection, when visibly expressed, allows a space to feel secure and steady.
