✍️ | Forgotten Tastes I wonder how long it has been since I’ve done any design work by hand. I tried drawing again for the first time in a long while, something I used to take for granted back when I was a college student. Today's House Special Creator with IDO Ceramics A special collaboration project. 'Capturing Unfamiliar Tastes in a Small Cup' Today's House always throws me themes that make me reflect on myself and get drawn in. Although time was a bit tight due to my personal schedule, I stayed up all night contemplating and tried to capture these forgotten, unfamiliar tastes in an IDO Ceramics Y-Cup. What do you think? I reinterpreted the peony motif, symbolizing wealth, abundance, and beauty found in Joseon Dynasty Buncheong ware, and the arabesque motif, symbolizing vitality and the cycle of nature, to create a modern style that fits well in any space. In the third photo, I tried fitting the design draft onto an actual Y-cup using Gemini. I’d like to know in the comments which design you prefer: the minimalist black design expressed simply with lines, or the beige design with a warmer mood featuring two-tone white. :) You can also check your preference in the survey currently running in my story. 🫶🏻 [Design Story] Re:Discovery - Rediscovering forgotten tastes and beauty overlooked because of familiarity During my university days, I loved complex patterns and decorative designs like stained glass or kaleidoscopes. I was captivated by the beauty created by repeating shapes and symmetry, so I worked on them frequently. However, as I started working, my design naturally shifted toward simpler and more efficient directions, and my interest in elaborate decorations gradually faded. While preparing for this project, I suddenly recalled the things I used to like. Why did I like those decorations...? As I pondered this, I discovered that traditional Korean patterns—which had been close by but I had never looked at deeply—contain a charm similar to that of European decorations. The pattern on the cup is not a complete form, but a single piece. It looks like European decorative tiles or a scene from a kaleidoscope, but inside, it contains peony and arabesque patterns. I expressed the idea that one can discover new beauty even in things we overlooked because they were familiar, with the feeling of taking out a piece of old decoration. - #TodaysHouse #TodaysHouseCreator #SpecialCreator #IDOCeramics #SpecialCollaboration
