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.

"Dette abstrakte stykke genfortolker formen af en vase gennem dristige, ekspressive stræk af hvide striber. De løse, ukonventionelle linjer giver det en dynamisk og unik karakter, der blander struktur med fluiditet. Det er en moderne udforskning af form, der fejrer kunstneriskheden inden for abstraktion."

"Et ikonisk akrylkunstværk af Janet Golder Kngwarreye, berømt for sine intrikate mønstre og kulturelle betydning. Dette værk fanger levende forbindelsen mellem traditionel aboriginal kunst og den naturlige verden, ved at bruge jordnære nuancer og rytmiske designs til at afspejle den åndelige essens af yamplanten. Et tidløst værk, der tilføjer dybde og fortælling til enhver samling."
