designer's own words:
Hanok is a Korean traditional style building which has been used a long time ago. You can see these traditional style buildings in cultural assets, temples and houses still now. Eaves which are one part of Hanok are rising towards the sky and have beautiful lines. And they shut out direct sunlight and are the scientific roofs made to make a certain amount of sunlight pour into houses. Also they make houses warm as sunlight do into houses for a long time. A handle was designed with the lines of eaves motif. General feeling was designed being in harmony with the soft curves and straight line of eaves and both ends were emphasized by the bended angle and were done to take them easily. ‘Eaves’ is a handle with simple and beautiful curves.
