The fact that Soojing Kang uses old furniture to dress up makes the collection to be limited by its nature. Combine this with the art of hand-sewing leather patches and the value of a dressed chair is almost of a piece of art, making the chairs unique furniture pieces in a world of low-priced, no-identity mass production furniture."I am fighting against this epidemic with needles and threads. Dressed Chairs are inspired by traditional crafts and antique raw materials, hand made by me; Obviously, the scarcity of used antique furniture requires the total number of editions produced each piece is extremely limited. Each piece is therefore entirely unique." - Soojin Kang
Each piece of furniture is expertly hand-sewn by Soojin in London and takes up to 4 weeks for delivery.
