Tig Hook
by Kwangho Lee
Tig Hooks are industrial and tough, an unorthodox addition to your wall. Cool aluminum is constructed with unexpectedly decorative slugs of molten metal. Welding is a manufacturing detail normally hidden or removed but here it is preserved and amplified by designer Kwangho Lee. The hooks in this series are over-sized and tough, strong functional objects with a ‘more than’ spirit. Choose single hooks for a peppering of metal adornment or find space for the monolithic 5-arm multi-hook for maximum impact and ultimate brutal utility.

Kwangho Lee lives and works in Seoul, South Korea, having received his Bachelor of Arts in 2007 from Hongik University, majoring in Metal Art & Design.
Making things by hand was a great joy as a child, reminding him of his grandfather who, a farmer himself, constantly made daily household goods from natural materials found nearby. Lee appreciated the way he looked at everyday objects and thus began to approach things in similar ways; to give new meaning and function to the most ordinary. Today, as Lee continuously presents new series of works, he develops his practice by discovering moments of materials joining another.
