ABOUT
Sisan Lee (b. 1995) Korea is a designer/artist based in Seoul. He majored in spatial design and works mainly on interior design, furniture and sculptures.
He became interested in nature while attending a university surrounded by mountains and rivers and was attracted to the uniqueness of stones, that contrasts to artifacts which were made by standardized processes. He finds a point of contact in the confrontational relationship between nature and artificiality, primitivity and modernity, and incorporates it into his work.
He crosses nature and cities and collects raw materials such as stones, trees, and metals around him over a long period of time. The physical properties of the collected materials are identified and used as they are to produce them in a way that allows the purity to be preserved without being destroyed. The results produced through this method have a unique individual uniqueness, distanced from objects created through the design process of the traditional industry.
Together with activities as an independent designer/artist, he also founded a Spatial design studio PRACTICE with a Architect in 2020 and show his work with multifaceted approaches to various fields such as architecture, interior, and exhibition design.
