Furniture series : Red Ochre and a Wise Man 2020
1st Edition : Anima series ver.2
This 1st edition of furniture made of Ocragela questions the value of standardized mass-products of today. As anima, an origin word of animus which means rational soul, life or intelligence, signifies ‘breath’, this design is inspired by intuitive life-form of nature and inherently intelligent animals and processed in one-of-a-kind way from carving the wood to upholstering the structures with Ocragela.

Ocragela, 2019
A contemporary material that is biodegradable and made out of only natural ingredients
Ocragela was created by mixing gelatin and ochre with glycerin and water. The material can be hand-stitched or machine-sewn as a normal textile material. And also it can be customized to leather-like, rubber/silicone-like, and plastic-like by changing the proportions, temperatures, and the way of pouring.
Currently, attempts to develop the means of efficient utilization of Ocragela are continued. Applications for products, textiles, or flooring materials have been experimented. Also, I am in touch with several companies who asked for material samples for future collaboration opportunities.
