Sisan Lee (born 1995) is a designer and artist based in Seoul. He majored in spatial design and primarily works in interior design, furniture, and sculpture. While studying at a university surrounded by mountains and rivers, he developed a deep interest in nature and became fascinated by the unique qualities of stones, which stand in stark contrast to artifacts produced through standardized processes. Lee explores the intersection of nature and artificiality, as well as the tension between primitivity and modernity, integrating these contrasts into his work. Over the years, he has gathered raw materials—stones, wood, and metals—from both natural and urban environments. By carefully assessing the physical properties of these materials and using them in their natural state, he preserves their purity without compromising their inherent characteristics. The outcomes of his process are uniquely individual, setting them apart from objects created through conventional industrial design methods.

<Megalith> series was started from a small stone found in nature, which is scanned and transformed into a 3D file, then expanded into the form of a massive boulder. While it appears visually heavy, it is actually made from lightweight plastic with a hollow interior. The natural contours extracted from the stone are finished with chrome plating, reflecting the surrounding environment and creating various phenomena. This works show to blur the boundaries between nature and the artificial, presenting a new perspective.
