Collezione: Fine Art

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.

"This abstract piece reimagines the form of a vase through bold, expressive strokes of white stripes. The loose, unconventional lines give it a dynamic and unique character, blending structure with fluidity. It’s a modern exploration of form that celebrates the artistry within abstraction."

"An iconic acrylic artwork by Janet Golder Kngwarreye, celebrated for its intricate patterns and cultural significance. This piece vividly captures the connection between traditional Aboriginal art and the natural world, using earthy tones and rhythmic designs to reflect the spiritual essence of the yam plant. A timeless work that adds depth and storytelling to any collection."
