Furniture and Object Designer

Mingjeong Park

Park Minjeong is a Korean artist and maker working primarily with discarded paper, Styrofoam, fruit boxes found at markets, and other reused materials. Her practice is rooted in minimizing environmental impact—from sourcing materials to the making process and even considering the end of an object’s life. Inspired by traditional Korean motifs such as stone pagodas, folk crafts, and shamanic symbols, Min explores form and color with a focus on reinterpretation. Her work celebrates the unexpected beauty of imperfect structures and unfamiliar shapes, revealing a quiet but compelling visual language. While she began with functional objects, her interests now extend toward larger, more architectural forms—blurring the lines between sculpture, craft, and design. Through her works, she continues to create thoughtful, hand-built pieces that invite reflection on materiality, heritage, and our relationship to the things we choose to keep.
