A small table made for holding dishes, and for the quiet ritual of a meal taken close to the floor. The soban is a staple of traditional Korean floor-seating culture, and this piece carries that form into the present.
Drawing from familiar Korean forms and nature, each piece is reinterpreted through a contemporary process using corn-based PLA and 3D printing. Finished in a soft, opaque white, the subtle texture of the printed surface gives each form a quiet yet tactile presence.
Its slender legs, gently raised rim, and fine stretchers echo the proportions of the classic soban. The frosted, translucent surface catches light the way paper or ice does, so it sits softly beside wood, lacquer, and ceramic.
Place it on a shelf or altar-like nook, or use it as a small stand for a teacup, a candle, or a single object you want to give room.
