Le Labo Bukchon Hanok is a contemporary perfumery that harmoniously merges traditional Korean design with modern aesthetics. The space includes a carved stone washing basin and retains its original stonework alongside new wooden floors. This integration serves as a living testament to the evolution of craftsmanship. Traditional materials like hanji and hand-dyed hemp are utilized in design elements, creating an atmosphere that resonates with the senses. The fragrance organ room functions as both a workshop and performance space, showcasing the art of scent creation in a unique environment.
"The process of restoring this historic hanok has been a beautiful journey of finding a home in Seoul, one that is grounded in the profound harmony between traditional Korean design philosophy and our approach to artisanal fragrance."
"This Seoul outpost represents something more than contemporary design practice - it is a seamless integration of traditional Korean craft techniques with modern sensory methodology."
"Hanji, Korea's traditional mulberry paper, wraps shelving and walls, its fibrous texture softening harsh edges while maintaining the material honesty that characterizes both traditional Korean architecture and contemporary craft movements."
"These floors build on tradition, creating new patterns that speak in the same visual language while serving modern functions."
