OBJECTS TO LIVE
LEAF ART BY SUNGWOO Choi
Sung Woo Choi's leaf spoons, made of wood patiently carved in his workshop in northern Seoul, amaze us: they touch something deep within us, a graceful object that doesn't even need to have a use if we want it to, just infinite contemplation, which does good to the soul.

Know-how
The Art of Leaves by Sungwoo Choi
At the beginning of Sungwoo Choi's life there is a job, that of mechanical engineer, and an industry, that of automobile construction, in a country, Korea, and a city, Seoul. And one day there is an encounter, during a trip to Paris and a visit to the Pompidou Center, with a painting: the Black Square by the painter Kazimir Malevich. A dazzling work that when it was created in 1915 opened the door to a new language and a new creative world born of forms, that of abstraction and minimalism.
