Gyogak is a minimalist side table created by Seoul-based designer Yejin Kim of be formative. The table is crafted from plywood and draws its name from the Korean term for a bridge pier. True to this inspiration, Gyogak’s design mimics the clean structure of a bridge, with two polygonal legs supporting a tabletop that can be easily removed and carried. This portability and simplicity make it ideal for gatherings where it serves as a central piece for sharing light snacks and tea. Gyogak was featured in the exhibition “온반반반: 너르고 바른 반” at the Onyang Folk Museum, a venue dedicated to reimagining traditional culture in contemporary contexts. This exhibition, part of the Madang workshop series held in August, brought together 36 teams of artisans and designers to showcase modern interpretations of heritage design, linking historical influences with present-day relevance.
