18. Teo Yang - Seoul Searching

Designer Teo Yang spent many years studying and working abroad to gain global experience to influence his work, but eight years ago he returned to Seoul in his native South Korea, from where he discusses with Yoko Choy his mission to breathe new life into the country’s famed heritage.

He chose specifically to set up his home-cum-studio in one of the capital’s traditional villages, immersed in its ancient architecture. But he acknowledges the dichotomy of the still-revered ancient ways existing alongside the super high-tech character of this mega-city and it is his studio’s mission to create a harmonious balance between the two in an eclectic range of projects.

Considered a leader among South Korea’s contemporary designers, he was chosen to refurbish the space for the Gyeongju National Museum. In redesigning Seoul’s Kukje Gallery, the space became not just a home for art, but a living space that recreated a collector’s gallery together with a dining room, fitness studio and spa – a holistic concept blending art and contemporary lifestyle. Not least, he is also the mastermind behind a range of skincare based on Korean traditional remedies. And in a commission by de Gournay, the celebrated British wallpaper manufacturer, to add a new Korean collection of handcrafted wallpapers to its range, he was able to further promote Korean culture and values internationally through his work. Truly a man for all eras.
