Minimalist Design & Architecture | Minimalism(i)

Smooth, soft and fluid. You’ve seen it all here on Minimalismi. It’s about time we show you the aggressive side of minimalist design. We’ll let Jang Won Yoon, a Korean born and Los Angeles based designer, give you a tour.

Janus, named after the Roman god of doors, doorways, beginnings and ends, is a chair that, just like the diety, has two faces. In the blink of an eye, the back folds onto the seat and this extraordinary chair becomes a stool with the lines of a sports car.

Jang’s work and his focus on angles and surfaces are greatly influenced by his current surroundings, Los Angeles, its urban landscape and its car-centric culture. Expect to see more of the young Korean designer soon, right here on Minimalismi.

Design: Jang Won Yoon
