seaweed-based biodegradable material shapes two interlocking tubular light installations
"Installed within a 388 × 200 × 288 cm exhibition booth, the project uses visual layering to extend the perceived depth of the space beyond its physical dimensions. The installation measures approximately 150 × 55 × 160 cm and is composed of two vertically interlocking circular structures arranged in repetitive sequences. Rather than relying on physical expansion, the design generates spatial depth through transparency, repetition, and the continuity of visual lines."
"The project is structured around two interconnected themes: material and form. The material system is based on a biodegradable substance developed by the designer from -derived agar without synthetic chemical additives. Within the Slow Project series, this is positioned not as a substitute for industrial materials but as an independent material language with its own formal and aesthetic characteristics."
"Alongside the seaweed-based material, the installation incorporates lighting, a steel armature, insulating tubing, adhesive, and natural pigments. The material composition reflects an approach that combines biodegradable components with industrial fabrication systems while maintaining continuity between structural performance and visual expression."
"The formal organization of Slow2 draws from spatial principles observed in traditional Korean hanok architecture. In baramgil, aligned openings create layered perspectives in which doors and windows align along a single axis to create overlapping sightlines and natural ventilation paths."
Slow2 is a lighting installation built within a 388 × 200 × 288 cm exhibition booth, using visual layering to extend perceived depth beyond physical dimensions. The installation measures about 150 × 55 × 160 cm and consists of two vertically interlocking circular structures arranged in repetitive sequences. Spatial depth is generated through transparency, repetition, and continuous visual lines rather than physical expansion. The design draws on baramgil, an alignment principle from traditional architecture that creates overlapping sightlines and supports natural ventilation paths. The material system uses a biodegradable substance developed from agar derived from seaweed, produced without synthetic chemical additives. The installation combines this seaweed-based material with lighting, a steel armature, insulating tubing, adhesive, and natural pigments, linking structural performance with visual expression.
