종이 용기 연작 Behälter aus Papier Donghyun Kim Maße: variabel Chipboard, Water-soaked paper, food-safe resin Dimensions: vary per piece (approx. 15–30 cm) 집은 축적과 반복 속에서 형성되는 상태다. Zuhause ist ein Zustand, der durch Ansammlung und Wiederholung entsteht. 집은 반복되는 행위와 시간이 쌓이며 형성되는 상태에 가깝다. 이 작업은 종이를 찢고 겹치며 쌓아가는 물리적인 과정을 통해 형태를 만들고, 사전에 형상을 정하지 않은 채 재료의 흐름과 건조되는 시간에 반응하며 예상하지 못한 조형을 발생시킨다. 이러한 반복 속에서 구조와 비정형, 의도와 우연 사이의 균형을 탐색했다. 덧붙여 모국과 타국을 오가며 축적된 감각 또한 작업의 배경을 이룬다. Ein Zuhause ist weniger ein Ort als ein Zustand, der durch Wiederholung und angesammelte Zeit entsteht. Diese Arbeit entwickelt ihre Form durch das Reißen, Schichten und Stapeln von Papier – ohne vorgegebene Gestalt, im Dialog mit Materialfluss und Trocknungszeit. Dabei entsteht ein Spannungsfeld zwischen Struktur und Unregelmäßigkeit, Absicht und Zufall, geprägt von Erfahrungen zwischen Heimat und Fremde.

Participant 08 — Donghyun Kim A designer exploring how process and material shape form through time and repetition. As the Founder of THOUGHT PROGRESS, Donghyun Kim works across product, object, and conceptual design—developing outcomes that emerge through making rather than predefined form. His practice emphasizes the relationship between intention and chance, structure and irregularity. His work is rooted in process—where repetition, accumulation, and material behavior become essential elements of creation. Within ODD82, his work reflects “home” not as a fixed place, but as a state formed through time. Through the act of tearing, layering, and stacking paper, form emerges in dialogue with material flow and drying time—revealing a balance between control and unpredictability. In this process, accumulated experiences between familiarity and foreignness take shape. — ODD82 Odd + Ordinary Living at the intersection of the unfamiliar and the everyday.

All Paper Series — Bowls and a vase. A perfect pair by @thought.progress for Bread and Butter during @3daysofdesign Without relying on sketches or pre-defined outlines, forms were developed through intuitive experimentation—cutting and tearing paper, arranging fragments, and responding directly to the material. The resulting compositions emerged through spontaneous construction, guided by the material’s inherent qualities rather than imposed form. Photography @petervinther Curation @work.prj @aeoffices

3 days of design: Another clear favourite is @breadandbutter.world curated by @aeoffices and @work.prj 🧈 At @ouri.cph , Korean and Danish designers explore the concept of the perfect pair. Drawing from their cultural backgrounds and material approaches, they created objects that complement each other functionally, conceptually and aesthetically within the dining setting. It was so lovely to finally meet @kunsik_ in real life! I’ve been following his brilliant work for years. I also met Mika, a very good boy and perfect ambassador for my main themes in life: Design and Dogs. 🐶 #3daysofdesign #3daysofdesign2025 #koreandesign #danishdesign #aeoffice #breadandbutterworld #ouri #annasogaard #eob #foreverstudio #hunlee #laurabilde #laerkeryom #marlabruun #kunsik #kihyunkim #krøyersætterlassen #thoughtprogress #designanddogs #scandinaviadreaming

Bread and Butter explores the concept of the perfect pairings. 12 designers created objects that complement, contrast or define each other within the dining setting. The pairs are placed side by side on a single table, coming together in unexpected ways to form new relationships.

Endless Table of Bread and Butter Endless thanks to @petervinther It’s a rare and special experience to build a visual identity with someone who truly understands the vision. We were amazed by the designers @soegaardanna @eob_studio @forever.studio @moshpitty @laerkeryom @laura.bilde @bruundesign @kimkihyundesign @kunsik_ @kroyersatterlassen @thought.progress how beautifully they brought the perfect pair to life. Thank you for trusting us when all we had was a simple PDF. We love you🫰🏻 When we arrived at the restaurant, we found unexpected construction at the entrance. Big shoutout to the kind and surprisingly collaborative construction crew, the entry was widened and the barricade upgraded—where our Endless Table poster now hangs 🚧 Supported by @ouri.cph @matari.sool @detovernaald @service.projects Korean embassy @breadandbutter.world Curated together with @work.prj

The first edition of Bread and Butter wrapped up after three sweet days🧈🥖 Thanks to everyone who stopped by — your conversations, smiles, and kind words meant a lot. Without the team OURI @ouri.cph , this exhibition wouldn’t have happened. Thank you so much for being generous, creative, and curious. @atfg226 @jjo_lim @lifeofpi617 18–20 June, 2025 @3daysofdesign Designers: Ae Office @aeoffices Anna Søgaard @soegaardanna EOB @eo_bureau Forever Studio @forever.studio Hun Lee @moshpitty Kihyun Kim @kimkihyundesign Krøyer-Sætter-Lassen @kroyersatterlassen Kunsik @kunsik_ Laura Bilde @laura.bilde Lærke Ryom @laerkeryom Maria Bruun @bruundesign Thought Progress @thought.progress Photography: Peter William Vinther @petervinther Curation: Ae Office @aeoffices Pyeori Jung @work.prj So, shall we start thinking about what’s next, together?💛
