Togui-dong "BOAN INN"

I went to the ancient exhibition called "BOAN INN".

It was built in 1930 and used to be a place for some famous korean wirtter to relax and to write their works. 

Amazingly it have been conserved until now then it has been reused as a gallery. 
I could find the very special mood here.   

located in jongro-gu, Togui-dong

1970's south korea

The special exhibition was hosted in kyunghee university on november 14 to 15 Eckart Dege (geographer from 1974 to 1976 in s.korea) has taken all pictures to show how s.korean lived their life and he just wanted to record real life on his pictures.  

But unfortunately, i was very busy at the time so i didn't go there. 

I am sure that i have never seen like these pictures before. 

I am so grateful to share some stories with you.

dieter rams exhibition

concept : less and more  by dieter rams  (1932~   ) 

now a special exhibition is taking  place in Daelimmuseum.

of course i already went there to see remarkable designed thing .

i saw some well-rounded stuff from dieter rams , industrial designer .  

Dieter rams have collaborated with braun several times  to design radio , televison , electric razor 

as you see in my undated picture.  

here is golden saying he said  " good design is unobstructive . 

i actually felt that point from this exhibition . i can easily get my concentration to everything 

because their design is to be minimized and contracted . 

just take a look at the pictures maybe you will find what i say . 

In pictures below,  you can see the change of design on braun electric razor according to time.

the bling magazine .

by bling :

actually one month ago , bling was free magazine so everyone love to read this book to get information.

but now it's totally changed and name was also change to "by bling" . 

if you want to know korea club culture , i am sure this is great magazine for you. 

this contains a lot of contents like club , fashion , hot people , attractive places . 

they guide you where you should go before going back to your country. 

so i absolutely recommend this . 

spectrum : 

this is a reason i bought this issue. because i want to see some special articles .

it is the independent volume from "by bling" , call spectrum edited by suk woo hong .

this also contains well-written articles. 

the subject of first issue is all about smart phone , tablet pc and social network service. 

anyway if you read bling magazine , you can find lots of informative things . 

you also access more detail information from www.thebling.co.kr .

www.youweresleeping.com is another helpful place for clubber to see korea club scene.

the presentation from bonho and partner

2월 28일날 중구 소공동에서 있었던 구본호 (한국가방디자이너) 님의 프레젠테이션에 

다녀왔습니다.

주로 포트포리오와 크로스백을 위주로 디자인을 하고 계신데요. 

모든 작품들이 핸드메이드이기에 더욱 끌렸던것 같습니다. 

이러한 개인 디자이너 분들이 많아 진다는것에 괜한 흥분이 되기도 했었습니다. 

너무 많은 것을 배운 하루였습니다. 

ps : 

첫번째 포스팅이네요. 블로그 방문에 너무 많은 감사드립니다. 

앞으로 하나하나 착실히 글을 모아 나가려고 합니다. 

많은 관심부탁드립니다. 

(english version)

this is the presentation by ku-bon-ho, korean bag designer .

It took place in seoul, jonggu , sogongdong on february , 28 .

he mainly designs and makes portfolio , cross bag and so on as you see my pictures.

he does every works  by his hands so every results are hand-made things .
