【Book Description】

Jeong: The Spirit of Korean Craft and Design is the first major volume to comprehensively explore the beauty of Korean design, from traditional crafts deeply rooted in everyday life to contemporary creations acclaimed on the international stage. Centered on visual storytelling, the book invites readers into the world of Korean craft and design, where historical depth and contemporary sensibility coexist.

Korean design is widely recognized for its balance between tradition and innovation, its restrained use of materials, efficient production processes, and a strong emphasis on sustainability and longevity. Within this design philosophy, function and emotion are not opposing forces but are closely intertwined. Jeong introduces international readers to how Korean design expresses refined aesthetics and humanistic values through meticulous attention to detail.

The title’s key concept, “Jeong (정),” is a Korean term that resists direct translation. It refers to a deep emotional bond that develops over time through shared experiences, repeated use, care, and familiarity. In the context of craft and design, jeong is manifested in the close relationship between maker, object, and user, as well as in the patience devoted to craftsmanship and respect for materials.

The book features 175 important and inspiring works, ranging from anonymous folk crafts to iconic examples of both classic and contemporary design. The selection spans lacquerware, ceramics, embroidery, furniture, textiles, and more. Each object is presented through a full-page image, including traditional moon jars, intricately woven baskets, delicate textiles, and boldly innovative contemporary furniture—clearly illustrating the continuity of form and spirit within Korean design.

Printed on tactile craft paper and bound using traditional Korean stitch binding, the book itself is conceived as a sensory design object worthy of collection. It also includes in-depth essays by contemporary Korean design talent Teo Yang, curator Beth McKillop, and J. Kathryn Hong, Chairperson of the Arumjigi Foundation in Seoul, offering multiple perspectives that deepen the reader’s understanding of Korean design culture.

More than a collection of works, Jeong serves as a window into the spirit of Korean craft and design. It invites readers to slow down and reflect, experiencing the subtle aesthetic sensibility and enduring emotional connections that define Korean culture.
