Jeong: The Spirit of Korean Craft and Design

Jeong — the Korean word for the deep bond between people, and the felt quality of handcraft — is the thread running through this book. The first survey of its kind in English, it presents 175 objects from the full arc of Korean design: lacquerware, ceramics, embroidery, furniture, textiles, and contemporary work made by living designers who hold old techniques in one hand and something new in the other. By Hyo Jung Lee, Teo Yang, and Beth McKillop. Phaidon. Hardback.
