{"product_id":"83073-wgnb-another-kind-of-harmony","title":"WGNB. Another Kind of Harmony","description":"WGNB. Another Kind of Harmony explores the visionary design philosophy of designer and architect Jonghwan Baek. At the heart of his work is the concept of jeophwa – literally \"contact harmony,\" a design logic that transcends conventional binaries and offers a new way to harmonize opposites, contrasts, and pluralities. In a world where conflicting elements often vie for dominance, Baek introduces jeophwa as a tool to create spaces embodying balance, complexity, and fluidity. Baek believes that beauty and meaning arise from integrating contrasting elements into a cohesive whole. His method redefines our understanding of space and aesthetics, demonstrating that complexity and contrast can coexist in harmonious structures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJonghwan Baek (*1979, Daegu, Korea), a spatial designer and architect from Seoul, founded WGNB in 2015.
