Dan Howarth is a British design and lifestyle writer, editor, and consultant based in New York City.
Korean artist and interior designer Sisan Lee is known for amalgamating natural forms with industrial, fabricated metal elements, an approach he has had for several years now. His earlier works comprise stainless sheets arranged around rough stones, or items cast from tree stumps and branches, resulting in functional sculptures that juxtapose nature and artificiality; Neolithic and contemporary.
Each of the traces of manufacture across the collection 'are material representations that distinguish the difference between design and art beyond the results of aesthetic expressions, and they are also traces that the artist has agonised over,' Lee said.
