The Seoul Design Festival was a breath of fresh air during my tour of remote events in Milan. Colorful, fun, with smiling and polite designers and workers. The exhibition showcased works from several Korean designers, and included contemporary craftsmanship. I especially liked the cradle-to-cradle idea of Memento Green by Form Fantasy, a candle that takes on the form of a flowerpot after it burns down. This exhibition was definitely one of light-hearted design.
