Zip
by Kwangho Lee
Inspired by his memories growing up in the countryside with his grandparents, Korean designer Kwangho Lee has transformed the leftovers from a typical harvest into a beautiful stool.
With his belief that the most mundane of objects have boundless capabilities, Lee gave new meaning and function to these large bundles of rice straw, transforming them into stools by cutting their wild tops and wrapping them with belts typically used for stabilizing boxes or furniture.
