1. About 'TIDES' Exhibition

TIDES Exhibition Key Visual Image 

The exhibition takes inspiration from the complex dance of gravity between the Moon, Earth and Sun that gives us tides. During a low tide the water pulls away and reveals 

a hidden landscape of reflecting puddles and curious shapes.A temporary experience where time, color and light becomes fluid like the ocean. ‘Tides’ showcases 100 stools by Kwangho Lee from the ‘The Moment of Eclipse’ series. 

Each eclipse shaped stool creates a with the next stool which forms chains of endless variations. Through an abstract low tide landscape Wang & Söderström presents an otherworldly landscape where the visitors can take a low tide walk in changing light 

and colors, reflect themselves in the puddles and discover objects and sculptures on uncommon ground. A tribute to the moon and the powerful rhythms in nature.

2. About Kwangho lee

Kwangho Lee_ Furniture Designer 

Making things by hand was a great joy as a child, which seems to be inherited from his grandfather who was a farmer, constantly hand-made daily household goods from natural materials found nearby. Kwangho Lee appreciated the way he looked at everyday 

objects and thus began to approach things in similar ways; to give new meaning and function to the most ordinary. Today, as he continuously presents new series of works, his approach has made some developments which are indepth discoveries of moments when materials join another.
