Kwangho Lee

Kwangho Lee lives and works in Seoul, South Korea, having received his bachelor of arts in 2007 from Hongik University, majoring in metal art and design. Making things by hand was a great joy of his as a child, reminding him of his grandfather, a farmer himself, who constantly made daily household goods from natural materials found nearby. Lee appreciated the way he looked at everyday objects and thus began to approach things in similar ways; to give new meaning and function to the most ordinary.

In 2009 Lee was nominated for the jury's selection of Designers of the Future at Design Miami/Basel and was shortlisted as Wallpaper* magazine’s Designer of the Year in 2023.
