a medium of furniture. It is mainly generated that shifting in usage, exploring similarities and form

Prototype

The snows was inspired by a scene of ‘Kim chi’ (the name of Korean traditional food) jars on a terrace covered in snow. This can be used both as a stool and a storage container.
A jar covered in snow is cold thing but the form feels warm and makes you want to sit on it. Also it can be used to store something to use for example like toys, books and bottle of wines etc.
Covered in snow composes the cushion. It looks as if it is covered in snow, but actually the cushion is made of Polyethylene Foam. It is possible to recycle this, just as melted snow returns to nature.
It is inspired by the Korean traditional jar's functions and shapes and it is made by plastic
(blow mould or gas injected polypropylene).
