They reached me around a year ago and we decided to launch the Korean collection."<br />The first piece in the collection is named 'Steps for The Flowers', a reinterpretation of a traditional royal palace architecture painting.<br />Yang says he was impressed by the painting of palace and wanted to show a unique gardening technique called 'Hwa-gye'.<br />Green staircase-like terraces decorated with stones and flowers show harmony with nature.<br />“The designer added peony flowers symbolizing wealth and honor, butterflies signifying longevity, frogs representing wealth, and stones symbolizing nature to amplify the Korean aesthetic elements.”<br />The second design is 'Art of Learning'.<br />The designer was inspired by the Joseon dynasty book painting named 'Chaekgeori',... which shows people's desire for learning.<br />With the books against the background, a polished reflective stone, and modern elements such as candlesticks,... the design contains both historical and contemporary aesthetic trends.<br />"I wanted to show various aspects of Korean content. K-drama and K-pop are already popular but Korea's tradition and heritage is yet to be fully introduced. I hope through de Gournay's collection, Korean aesthetics could be better known in the art and design world."<br />Through de Gournay and Yang's collaboration, people can now have a piece of Korea's aesthetic heritage in their homes.<br />Kim Bo-kyoung, Arirang News.<br />
