40Dr — Niceworkshop's first time in Paris
Host & co-curator (40Dr)
Specially opened for Paris Fashion Week in June 2023, 40Dr is a temporary showroom renovated by Niceworkshop and Marin Mornieux.
Niceworkshop is a design studio founded by Oh Hyunseog, based in Seoul. Building a new bridge between design cultures, Niceworkshop brings the South-Korean approach to a typical Haussmannian apartment in the north of Paris.
The first Niceworkshop show in Paris displays a collection of their signature furniture pieces and objects within the 40Dr.
40Dr is an independent design space based in Paris. It focuses, without excessive rigor, on contemporary object makers, and acts as a hub for supporters of European–Korean cultural synergies. Accessible by private appointment.
