Time of Action by Chaeyoung Lee
Alexander Zaxarov
Jan 25, 2021

Time of Action is a minimal and carefully crafted furniture collection created by South Korean-based designer Chaeyoung Lee.

Time of Action series uses ebonizing and carving techniques that include time and experience to faithfully archive small parts of the present. It was intended to weigh the momentary process with ebonizing, which slowly reveals dark black through several coats, and carving, which forms a new texture with repetitive body movements. The layer of time completes a direct tactile experience beyond reason.

Chairs, tables, lamps, stools, textile works, and a handful of architectural interiors where reduction is the discipline — not the aesthetic. Aluminium folded into a seat, asphalt cast as a table leg, glass blown at the scale of a chair, textile turned into spatial memory. Each piece argues that less is not the goal; what remains, and why, is.
