Through exceptionally skilled handwork and applied layers of patina, Hun-Chung Lee transforms materials often considered cold – such as concrete and steel – into architecturally graceful, soft-edged sculptural furniture. In his magnificent, unique ceramic stools and objects, the seemingly chaotic pattern of glaze belies Lee’s careful, painterly control of palette that emerges upon closer observation. This unique low ceramic table with a concrete top exudes both Lee's influence from traditional Korean ceramic techniques and contemporary playful nature.
