He usually gets inspiration from everyday life and is known for his imaginative creations of recycling daily objects into essential stuff.
Lee, who is an alumnus of Kaywon University of Art & Design in South Korea, noticed that cardboard is used in every item and is not suitable. That's where he got the idea to make a table, chair, and shelf using the iconic Nike box material which later strengthens the internal part with a metal structure allowing the object to be used.
The second piece of furniture that caught everyone's attention is the Mcdonald's paper bags lamps. Lee who flew to Tokyo for a short trip interested in the design of Mcdonald's Japan's eye-catching look with the giant signature ‘M’ of the fast-food chain printed over the brown carton.
The inspiration behind the upcycled Mcdonald’s paper bag lamps lies in the spike in take-outs and deliveries during the pandemic. The staff then gave him a bunch of paper bags to take home and magically upcycled them into boxy nongreasy lamps that radiate warm lights.Picture source: Gyuhan LeeNot only give these used materials a second life, but Lee also wants to tell his story through his work by representing the things he sees, feels, and finds interest in.
