Founded by Eunji Jun and Halin Lee; based in Seoul, Korea.

Founded by Eunji Jun and Halin Lee, the multidisciplinary design studio based in Seoul bridges the realms of art, design, and environmental responsibility. Renowned for their material-driven narratives and innovative use of sustainable resources, WKND Lab transforms discarded, overlooked, and ephemeral materials into thought-provoking installations that invite audiences to reconsider the possibilities of art, culture, and humanity’s relationship with nature. The studio’s philosophy is rooted in the belief that materials are storytellers. Each material is explored across time—its past and present acknowledged, its future imagined—with reverence for its origins and acceptance of its impermanence. From repurposed industrial plastics and plant-based waste to traditional Korean craft techniques such as knot-making and lacquer work, WKND Lab’s creations celebrate the beauty of transience, resilience, and cyclical renewal. The duo has gained international recognition for their commitment to sustainability.
