She is truly global in her insights and execution.

Design for industry
They always think about newness, beauty, and comfortable use, and they devote ourselves to creating things with meticulous attention to detail, in close collaboration with all of the people who conceive, make, and sell them.
Nendo
There are so many small ” ! ” moments hidden in our everyday. But we don’t recognize them. And even when we do recognize them, we tend to unconsciously reset our minds and forget what we’ve seen. But we believe these small ” ! ” moments are what make our days so interesting, so rich. That’s why we want to reconstitute the everyday by collecting and reshaping them into something that’s easy to understand. We’d like the people who’ve encountered Nendo’s designs to feel these small ” ! ” moments intuitively. That’s Nendo’s job.
Kang Myung Sun
While her works are based on traditional craft technique that has been declining, she interprets contemporary culture and transforms into modernised form. Pursuing the beauty of structure, Kang utilizes the traditional craftsmanship used for lacquer work inlaid with mother-of-pearl in innovative way to emphasize the unique nature of the material and, ultimately, seeks to show us natural aspects of her works through organic and unstandardized.
