KOLKHOZE PRESENTS THE FIRST COLLECTION BY SOUTH KOREAN DESIGNER HAYUNG PARK. TAKING ITS NAME FROM KONG, THE KOREAN WORD FOR “PEA”, THE COLLECTION DRAWS ON ITS ROUNDED, SOFTLY IRREGULAR SHAPE TO CREATE A LANGUAGE OF BALANCED PROPORTIONS AND UNEXPECTED CURVES.
PARK’S ATTRACTION TO SOFTNESS AND COLOUR CARRIES TRACES OF THE VISUAL LANGUAGE OF THE JAPANESE ANIMATIONS OF HER CHILDHOOD. THIS INSTINCTIVE SENSE OF FANTASY IS IN DIALOGUE WITH HER POSTMODERNIST INFLUENCES, BRINGING ELEGANCE AND MATURITY TO HER APPROACH WHILE CREATING A TENSION BETWEEN SOPHISTICATION AND SPONTANEITY.
PRODUCED IN FRANCE, PARK’S PIECES PLAY WITH A COMBINATION OF REFINED MATERIALS AND FINISHES: LEATHER, MEDIUM OAK, NICKEL-PLATED BRASS AND GLAZED LAVA STONES DECLINED IN DIFFERENT COLORS COME TOGETHER IN SUBTLE CONTRAST, GIVING HER SINGULAR VISION A REFINED AND TACTILE PRESENCE.
