Korean designer Jeong Greem releases a line of whimsical doodle furniture that is stylistically playful, diverse in materials and boasting a rich color palette. Although quite experimental and unconventional, one can recognize usable "rope-like benches, chairs, tables, and lamps."
Each unique design decision is intended by Jeong Greem who seeks to redefine the relationship between furniture and spaces. For the tubes, the designer utilizes silicone foam. In terms of touch, the material of the doodle furniture is smooth, as well as durable and waterproof.
When determining the shapely aesthetic of each piece, Jeong Greem embraced a rather reductionist method. The "fundamental components of each piece, such as the seat, back and legs [...] [were eliminated."
