In Korean culture, family meals are a time to connect and bond, with shared dishes and utensils at the center. Meals are often served family-style, where everyone shares from the same plates, reinforcing unity. The act of passing spoons and chopsticks and enjoying a variety of side dishes (banchan) together is a key part of the experience, symbolizing care and connection. The table becomes more than just a place to eat—it’s where relationships are strengthened and memories are made.
The traditional home is a symbol of warmth and connection, where generations gather and share memories. This potholder draws inspiration from that tradition, combining practicality and nostalgia.
Inspired by the materials of Korea’s dynasty era, this design reflects the warmth of traditional homes where generations united. Made of wood and ceramics, the potholder features a door-pattern design, protecting tables, storing utensils, and serving as wall art—bridging family and tradition across time and space.
The
“Drawn into” is a potholder used to put the hot pot, so the table does not get
burnt. The potholder will be composed of matt finished wood and ceramics. The
potholder component is not only to support the pot but also has drawer space
for spoon and chopsticks, and four spoon rest to use during the meal. Family or
friends can be more connected and emotional as they reduce the movement to get
a spoon and chopstick from the kitchen.
With the traditional door pattern design, the users can refresh their
memory of how “traditional” affected our current culture. Once the potholder is
not in use, it can be used as decoration on the wall. The pattern of the
traditional will always be around the users.
