"Inspire by mother culture and tradition to innovate towards the ergonomic based lifestyle and field of design", Echo says.
"Korea's traditional low seating lifestyle can help nomads use their space efficiently by not taking and limiting the space by its size. There is an opportunity to find the way of adopting it into contemporary living spaces", Echo continues.
Interlocking Joinery
Inspired from Korean architecture's structure,
joineries are designed to interlock and slide-in,
reducing the usage of fasteners while remaining durable.

"Through multiple explorations of sketches, scaled mock-ups, and 3D modeling,
I was able to find the bold and sturdy interlocking joinery system for the bed frame", Echo says.
"Modularity with easy to assemble and disassemble parts is necessary. Nomads live in studios or use living rooms as their bedrooms such that the definition of living room has disappeared", Echo says.
