Pop Pop Santa Village

TIST Santa Village Event Tuesday, 15 September 2026

Pop Pop

Pop Pop is a winter seasonal event design created for eight duty-free stores in Korea. The project combines cultural elements with retail space to offer more than a shopping experience. A Santa Village theme brings together winter, Christmas and gifts, recalling precious moments of travel. Illustrations of characters, animals and trees are joined by overlapping lines, so the images can be read like a puzzle. Neon-flex lighting, acrylic and fomex are used to add color and light to the white architectural space.

For Georges Rousse Trophy

Hasong Lee Trophy Accolade Monday, 14 September 2026

For Georges Rousse

For Georges Rousse is a trophy created as a tribute to a French photographer. The trophy is a three-dimensional sculpture based on anamorphosis, an optical effect in which a form looks distorted from most angles. Seen from one specific point, the folded planes align and show a flat circle with colored openings. The form was modeled with a three-dimensional computer program. Plates of cupro-nickel and silver were cut, folded and soldered, then colored by heat to create a contrast between black and white. The trophy measures 115 by 137 by 154 millimeters.

Inside Out Design Event

Hong Kong Trade Development Council Design Event Event Thursday, 10 September 2026

Inside Out

Inside Out is an event design created for DesignInspire, a three day exhibition held in Hong Kong. The concept turns a temporary wall structure inside out to expose all of its workings. Untreated plywood panels, off the shelf fixings and hired scaffolding form the entrance wall, the reception counter, the open forum, two open workshops and the communal display areas. A set of rules was prepared before construction to reduce onsite waste and to allow materials to be reused. The raw and neutral setting contrasts with the graphics and the products on display.
