RESEARCH ABSTRACT: We researched and choosed what type of funiture is popular and used directly in real life. Korean life style has changed so fast that most traditional furnitures have no more usefulness. I did not want to dick into traditional materials and methods as many traditional craftsman did. I want to add feminism and mysteriousness to the old style funiture.
CHALLENGE: the strings should be developed to have more perfect restoration.
