Photos flatten everything. The only way to know whether a piece is right is to stand under it on a dimmer at the end of the day. That's what the Seomyeon space is for.
The showroom sits two floors above the workshop in the Aion City building. It's set up like rooms people actually live in — a dining corner, a reading nook, a low lounge — each lit by the pieces that suit it, all on dimmers you're welcome to play with.
You'll often hear the workshop below while you're up here. If the timing's right we'll walk you down to watch a shade get blown or a ring get turned.
Every fixture hung at a sensible height over the kind of surface it's meant for, so you can judge scale instead of guessing from a product shot.
Raw brass next to aged brass next to patinated bronze, plus glass samples you can hold up to the light. Pick the tone in person, not from a name on a list.
We run the room from bright daytime down to a single warm pool, so you can see exactly how a 2200K glow reads at midnight versus noon.
We keep visits one at a time. It means you can take an hour, sit under things, change the dimmer, and ask awkward questions without anyone hovering. Bring photos of your room and a rough ceiling height if you have it.
Booking is a phone call or an email. Tuesday to Saturday works best — those are the days the workshop's running, so there's something to watch.
Runs the shopping tray, the order form and basic security. These are set whatever you choose, and the site won't work without them. No tracking, gone when the session ends.
Remembers small things between visits — that you've already seen this banner, which currency view you picked, whether you collapsed the FAQ. Makes the site feel less forgetful.
Anonymous numbers on which pieces get opened and where people drop off, through a privacy-friendly counter. It tells us what to build more of. Your IP is truncated and nothing's sold on.
Lets us show our work to people who've visited, on a couple of other sites. Off unless you switch it on, and it never touches what's in your basket.
