“Less but practical"
I am JUNGWOON LIM, a furniture design and product student at Nottingham Trent University.
Originally from South Korea, I have developed a broad perspective on design through my foundation and undergraduate studies in the UK.
Based on these experiences and passion, I am confident that I am improving uncomfortable factors in daily life and designing furniture that contain the respect of environment and sustainability.
SOUPRO
Soupro is a stool designed to enhance the quality of everyday life within interior environments, functioning as both a seat and a side table. The name Soupro reflects the intention to celebrate these overlooked materials, assigning them new meaning and value through design. The overall form of the stool is inspired by a tree stump. The cylindrical top represents the tree’s trunk, while the complex structure beneath symbolises its roots. The seat features a subtle ergonomic curve for comfort, and the exposed joints also function as
handles for easy movement. In addition, the removable seat is designed to extend the
product’s lifespan and allow for easier repair and maintenance.
