FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Eun Whan Cho's Innovative Chair Design: Amplification of Sensation

Eun Whan Cho, a renowned designer, has unveiled a groundbreaking public installation project in Seoul, South Korea. Titled "Amplification of Sensation," this innovative chair design serves a dual purpose as both functional street furniture and a thought-provoking public sculpture. The project was initiated in response to a request from the Seoul Metropolitan Government to create a public installation for the iconic Han River, a cherished natural oasis in the heart of the bustling city.

Constructed from discarded plastic pieces, the "Amplification of Sensation" chair is a testament to Cho's commitment to environmental sustainability and social consciousness. The project aims to encourage citizens to contemplate pressing environmental issues while providing a unique opportunity to engage with the surrounding urban environment in a meaningful way.

Measuring 850 mm x 960 mm x 1950 mm, the chair's distinctive funnel shape invites users to immerse themselves in the sounds and sights of the Han River promenade. By utilizing recycled plastic materials, Cho's design not only amplifies sensory experiences but also prompts individuals to reflect on the environmental impact of discarded plastics. The chair is set to be manufactured and installed by 2026, marking a significant contribution to the urban landscape of Seoul.
