yerin jung expands paper into translucent bubbling bricks for furniture series

bloom block series transforms paper into hollow furniture

Yerin Jung transforms the humble material of paper into a medium of modular creativity with the Bloom Block Series. The collection of furniture pieces is characterized by delicate bubble patterns devised from a new expression technique, exploring the infinite aesthetic potential of paper.

The series employs a unique heat application technique to create intricate bubble patterns on paper, with the materials then fashioned into simple hollow blocks. They are assembled into consoles, coffee tables, and side tables, with the modular concept allowing the pieces to expand or adapt based on the size of each module.

Bloom Block Series is shaped from translucent, hollow bricks that are strengthened with epoxy and finished with a matte texture, ensuring durability without compromising the paper’s delicate appearance. These elements find their most striking expression under natural light, where the patterns and material interplay create a luminous, ethereal effect.

Minimalistic in form, Yerin Jung’s series directs attention to the expressive quality of the material while maintaining flexibility and scalability. By blurring the lines between craft, modern technology, and everyday functionality, the Korean designer reimagines paper beyond its conventional applications, integrating artistic value. The Bloom Block Series paves the way for future experiments with color, form, and diverse designs.
