FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Knotted Bench: A Symbol of Generational Coexistence and Sustainability

MINJU KANG's "Knotted" bench design is a testament to the belief that life can be more sustainable when everyone is connected, embracing the diversity of life. The design, inspired by intergenerational conflict, seeks to foster a society that recognizes and communicates diversity and difference, promoting generational coexistence.

The bench, made from wire ELP conduit, cable ties, and stainless pipe, serves as both public and recycled furniture, embodying the aesthetic sense of generational integration. With dimensions of 2460mm x 630mm x 500mm, it is suitable for indoor and outdoor spaces, encouraging various postures and interactions.

Constructed with a focus on discarded materials and sustainability, the "Knotted" bench is a symbol of connectivity and inclusivity, representing a society that embraces diversity and accepts the challenges of generational conflict.

MINJU KANG, along with Jieun Park and Haneul Han, overcame creative and technical challenges during the production process, ensuring that the bench's structure remained solid and stable. The project, which began in March 2022, was completed with the aim of addressing various social issues arising from generational conflict, promoting awareness and acceptance of diversity in life.

The "Knotted" bench design was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in 2023, recognizing its outstanding creativity and contribution to quality of life improvements. MINJU KANG's innovative approach to promoting generational integration and sustainability through design continues to inspire and resonate with audiences worldwide.
