Giwa

Flat Pack Souvenir

​

GIWA is a decorative box with a lid. Its form is referential to historical Korean architecture. Specifically it embodies the essence of architecture of the nobility. While it is referential it is not an exact copy of a specific building. Instead it captures the spirit and beauty of traditional architecture from Korea. This is accomplished in both overall form and construction technique. The construction of the box relies on integral joints for assembly. These joints refer to traditional wooden joinery, however they are made of rubber and therefore the piece can be sold packaged flat and the tourist can simply assemble the joints once they return home.
