Donghoon Sohn's Fishbox series repurposes traditional wooden fish boxes from Busan's markets, creatively transforming them into functional furniture while honoring their craftsmanship and cultural significance.
By utilizing the diverse wood species and their twisted forms, Sohn demonstrates how material limitations inspire design, adding a distinctive character to the Fishbox series.
The growing preference for plastic alternatives poses a threat to wooden fish boxes, making Sohn's work a timely tribute that seeks to preserve their historical and cultural legacy.
Sohn's design process incorporates traditional techniques, tackling challenges related to the hazardous nails and staples typically used in constructing the boxes, enhancing the safety and appeal of his furniture.
