Loess series

The Loess Series represents our effort to broaden the application and significance of a material deeply rooted in Korean tradition. Loess has been an integral part of Korean culture for centuries, valued for its versatile uses in architecture, natural dyeing, pottery, roof tiles, and even for improving soil quality. Historically, it has been used to build walls and floors, prized for its natural properties such as humidity control, temperature retention, and electromagnetic absorption, all of which contribute to its reputation as a material beneficial to human well-being.

In traditional architecture, loess was often combined with natural materials like rice straw, wood, stone, and soil. This combination not only enhanced its strength but also made it relatively lightweight. However, in modern times, the use of loess has steadily declined due to changes in construction methods and materials.

Drawing inspiration from the unique characteristics of loess and the ingenuity of traditional techniques, the Loess Series seeks to reimagine and revitalize this material. By emphasizing its warm, earthy aesthetic and its comforting tactile qualities, we aim to redefine its role in contemporary design and bring its timeless charm into modern living spaces.
