All objects featured in the exhibition ≪Trans-Furniture (What Happened to the Furniture)≫ are symbolic pieces that testify to the relationship between the "original furniture" that once filled the home of architect saasaakunkun and the "reconfigured objects" newly designed based upon them.

Memories of the First ‘Object of My Own’
It began in 2011. A sofa bought with money painstakingly saved from part-time jobs on Gmarket—the first thing I ever purchased with my own money. To some, it may have been just an ordinary mass-produced item, but to the architect, it held the special significance of being his first "possession." For the next 15 years, this sofa became the essence of his daily life. It was the backdrop to his most intimate moments: sitting to read, drinking coffee, and occasionally practicing the trumpet with unrefined skill.

A Chance Discovery: Fabric that Breaks Formality
As the sofa began to age, the architect happened to drape a piece of fabric brought back from a trip to England over it. He felt an unexpected harmony. He was particularly drawn to the raw texture of the frayed edges where the threads had naturally come loose. It felt as though it was softening the rigid, fixed form of the sofa. This small, sensory discovery became the decisive starting point for designing the new object, sskk-1.



A Design of Penetrating and Weaving
The newly created sskk-1 is the result of reinterpreting this chance discovery through a structural grammar. The architect designed the body and cushions to be penetrated as one. While a typical sofa uses zippers to secure the fabric, he chose to fix it using tautly pulled red thread. The fabric on the back is forcefully drawn toward the center, creating radiant pleats, and the intentional exposure—allowing a glimpse into the sofa's internal structure through the openings—reveals the architect's meticulous design intervention.








Artist’s Note


This is a sofa I bought on Gmarket when I was in high school. It is worn to the point of almost falling apart, yet for some reason, I cannot bring myself to throw it away. I casually drape a blanket I bought in England over the places where the leather has completely worn through. I like the soft, fluffy feeling the fabric adds.
I began to wonder what would happen if I sewed thick, heavy stitches across the fabric, leaving the ends loose and fraying at the edges. A smoothly finished leather sofa usually hides its own making, but these uneven, unpolished marks created as I poke and pull with my own hands seem to reveal the process of the object breathing—as if the surface were swelling from within, almost like living skin.
