Korean traditional architecture is loved for many reasons,

and the traditional roof named ‘Kiwa’ is one of the biggest reasons. (Actually, ‘Kiwa’ is the name of the tile used for roofing.)

​

The kiwa roof has gently curved lines which harmonize with straight lines on the columns and windows. We wanted to reflect on this elegant aesthetic in the new furniture collection.
