ABOUT FICT STUDIO

FICT STUDIO is an independent design studio founded in 2016 by South Korean designer Heakyoung Jang. The name of the studio, inspired by the phrase "From craft to industry," reflects her philosophy of exploring the flow and intersections between craft and industry.

With a background in industrial design, Jang delves deeply into the essence and value of craft, reinterpreting it within a contemporary context. To her, craft transcends the realm of materials and techniques; it is a rich collection of possibilities encompassing culture, tradition, craftsmanship, and a timeless sense of empathy and connection. She believes that craft holds the potential to evolve as a unique and invaluable resource that harmonizes with modern society.

Through experimental material exploration and process research, Jang focuses on translating the essential elements of craft into a modern language. Her work investigates the intersections of tradition and modernity, creating new sensory experiences through layers of materiality, technology, and time. This process is not merely about producing objects but also about exploring the stories embedded in the things we use, the emotional resonance they carry, and their cultural significance in our lives. Grounded in this approach, FICT STUDIO serves as a platform and experimental space that demonstrates how craft and design can create new value and expand their meaning within the fabric of contemporary society and culture.
