Chung Hyun studied Wood Sculpture Furniture Design at Hongik University and earned a Master’s degree in Architecture from Cornell University. He previously served as an adjunct professor in the Department of Architecture at the University of Seoul and founded SUPERELLIPSE, a project spanning architecture, education, publishing and exhibitions. He seeks new attempts across disciplines through collaborations with artists, photographers, musicians, game producers and graphic and product designers. He participated in exhibitions such as Graphic Design Seoul, 2005-2015, Seoul (Ilmin Museum of Art, 2016) and 30 Years of Gwacheon: Voyage of Imagination (National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA), 2016) and was selected as a finalist for the Young Architects Program (MMCA, 2017). His publications include PBT (2014) and CC (2017), which examine contemporary digital culture amid architecture and cities.

Founded in 2015 by Sejoong Kim and Joowon Han, with Jiwon Lim joining in 2021, COM is a spatial design studio. It designs spaces and furniture with diverse characters, spanning from commercial spaces for open audiences to offices designed for collective work. The current team includes Yeji Kim, Chaehyun Han, Yoonje Jo and Honggu Kim. Notable projects include Genesis HQ Office (2024), HYBE Headquarters (2021), musinsa studio sindang (2023), TUNE (2023), Mangrove Dongdaemun (2022), JTBC PLAY (2020), Amore Seongsu (2019) and thisisneverthat (2019-2024). They maintain an active exhibition practice, featuring solo presentations like City Cortanea (2017) and The Last Resort (2021), and participating in group exhibitions such as New Wave II: Design and Engaging Communities (2018), Typojanchi (2021) and Young Korean Artists (2023).

Born in 1991, Jeonsan began working at construction sites at the age of nineteen, following his father, a construction worker and labor activist. Three years of on-site experience shaped his understanding of how objects and spaces are physically materialized. In 2014, he enrolled in the first cohort of the undergraduate program (Hanbaegot) at the Paju Typography Institute. Although he majored in graphic design, his background as a carpenter naturally led him toward furniture and fixture production. In 2018, he founded the design studio Jeonsan System, launching the Color Shelves series. Jeonsan operates simultaneously as the brand Jeonsan System’s principal and as an active designer collaborating with artists, planners and architects across a wide range of projects.
