Jeong: The Spirit of Korean Craft and Design
Some books document objects. This one is one. Hand-sewn binding, beautiful production values, a cover typeset in Hangul that reads as graphic design before it reads as text — Jeong earns its place on a shelf the way the objects inside earn theirs.
The title resists translation. Jeong names a quality of attachment that forms between people and things over time, through use, care, and shared history. In the context of craft and design, it's the thread between maker and object and the person who eventually lives with both.
175 works span anonymous folk craft to celebrated contemporary makers — lacquerware, ceramics, embroidery, furniture — assembled as the first comprehensive survey of Korean design for an international audience.
A reference point. An object in its own right.
