Emerging Absurdity Fig 5. Before you leave the techno club with (Magsafe cosmetic box) You might know that moment: You’re at a club, you meet someone, and you’re about to leave together but before you go, you want to quickly check your face. Or maybe an unexpected facetime call pops up. Either way, there’s no time to dig through your bag. So maybe this helps: a small cosmetic case with Magsafe magnetic back. Snaps right onto your phone, so always with you, ready for anytime, anywhere.💄🤳📱

My work, Emerging Absurdity fig5. Before you leave the techno club with, aka Magsafe cosmetic case, was featured in @bazaaritalia !!!!! Thanks to @marco.ciacci and the photographer @jeondaahee ! Really big thanks to @ecal_design @ecal_ch @erwanbouroullec @camillebien HUMOR meets functionality: this magnetic beauty case by Korean designer Yeonsu Na is designed to be attached to a smartphone. Originally conceived as a student project at ECAL in Lausanne—one of Europe’s most influential art and design universities—this prototype is part of the ‘Emerging Absurdity’ series. The collection features other eccentric objects, including a cigarette umbrella, an interdental ring-floss, and a candle holder inspired by a glue stick. With its conceptual lightness, this project teaches us that the most intelligent design often arises from play: by questioning function, it transforms the entire experience. 유머와 기능의 만남: 한국 디자이너 라연수(Yeonsu Na)가 선보인 이 마그네틱 뷰티 케이스는 스마트폰에 부착할 수 있도록 설계되었습니다. 유럽 내 가장 영향력 있는 예술 디자인 대학 중 하나인 로잔 주립 예술대학교(ECAL)에서의 학생 프로젝트로 처음 구상된 이 프로토타입은 ’Emerging Absurdity(떠오르는 불합리)‘ 시리즈의 일환입니다. 이 컬렉션은 담배 전용 우산, 반지형 치실, 그리고 딱풀에서 영감을 받은 촛대와 같은 기발하고 독특한 오브제들을 포함하고 있습니다. 개념적인 경쾌함을 담아낸 이 프로젝트는 가장 지능적인 디자인이 때로는 ’놀이‘로부터 탄생한다는 사실을 우리에게 일깨워 줍니다. 기존의 기능을 의심함으로써, 사물을 대하는 경험 자체를 완전히 변화시킨 것입니다.

Five accessory objects for contemporary daily life. Drawing on everyday norms, the designs incorporate elements of humour and charm, while remaining rigorously constructed and thoughtfully resolved. More 🔜 Under the supervision of @erwanbouroullec @camillebien @ecal_design

Thrilled to share that <Emerging Absurdity> project has been invited to exhibit as part of @deoron , at the @portaveneziadesigndistrict_ during Milan Design Week, 20-26 April 2026🌹🌹🌹 For those who want to visit during press day&exhibition, feel free to reach out, I’d be happy to share the RSVP link. Looking forward to seeing all of you guys again in Milan soon!❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 밀란에서 전시합니다! Press day및 전시 기간에 방문을 원하시는 분들은 RSVP 등록링크를 보내드릴 수 있으니 편하게 연락주세요. 밀라노에서 봐요! Location: Via Padova 11, Loreto (M1 M2), Milan Press day: April 19 Dates: April 20–26, 2026 DEORON returns to Milan Design Week with an expanded vision for its 2nd chapter. Going beyond the logic of display and introducing a curatorial approach with a spatial and experiential practice. The 2026 edition presents an international roster of 50+ designers, brands, and independent studios working across furniture, lighting, homeware, technology, and lifestyle. Bringing together emerging talents and established industrial furniture brands alike, the selection transcends distinctions of market segment or scale, offering a diverse and inclusive overview of contemporary design. The project weaves together objects, sound, and architecture into a unified spatial narrative. Visitors are invited not simply to observe design, but to experience it firsthand, to touch, sit, test, and inhabit the pieces as they move through a layered environment. At the heart of this immersive setting, a sculptural sound system plays a defining role, shaping the space through carefully crafted acoustics and elevating it into a fully sensorial experience. Together with materials and light, sound becomes an architectural element in itself, generating new modes of interaction and perception.

On my way to 🇮🇹 …🥹

Was an amazing opening night at the Brussels✨ Huge thank you to @fannie.tomas and @manon.viratelle for making this happen! Happy to be here, surrounded by such talented and inspiring women💪The exhibition will end soon-don’t miss it if you’re nearby. @notes_for_later_ @cloudseven.be @collectiblefair NOT(ES) FOR LATER Design exhibition This exhibition imagines a near future — a gentle, satirical utopia in which professional power dynamics have shifted. Echoing the dual identity of Cloud Seven as both an exhibition space and a coworking venue, the scenography takes the form of a meeting room frozen in time: abandoned desks, cooled coffee, handwritten notes, glowing screens… The office becomes the archive of a world that operates differently. A work of fiction used as a critical tool to question our present realities. At its core, the project reflects on creative labor: daily, often invisible, and frequently overlooked.

Emerging Absurdity series has some exciting plans for this year. As a first update, two developed pieces from the series will be presented as the part of @notes_for_later_ during @collectiblefair . From March 11th to 14th, at @cloudseven.be in Brussels, Belgium. See you soon!💫🇧🇪 Vernissage: March 12th, from 18-22h Curated by @fannie.tomas @manon.viratelle @cloudseven.be Quai du Commerce 7 Brussels Off program - @collectiblefair
