Byung-Hoon Choi is an internationally respected master of 20th century Korean design. His soft, organic forms capture the tranquility of his country’s landscape.

His work calls to mind that of icons such as Alvar Aalto, Isamu Noguchi and Henry Moore, but is wholly singular in Choi’s evocation of Korean cultural symbols and his own artistic vision.
In his work he has explored stack-laminated wood construction and exquisitely carved wooden surfaces combined with stone. In recent work he experiments with carbon fiber, a feather-light new material that he juxtaposes beautifully with dense black granite.
