If her minimal website is any indication, South Korea's Bora Kim is yet another designer who prefers to let her work speak for itself. Kim's "Jamirang" sofa collection is a pair of stout chair designs that draw on minimalist design vocabulary while simultaneously suggesting utmost comfort. Alternately, they're elegant takes on overstuffed chairs, a bit unconventional but easily as inviting as a papasan or beanbag chair.
Where "No. 1" (lighter gray; above) vaguely resembles a tongue (or two), the curvier "No. 2" (below) looks more like a jellybean.
As for the name: "Ja-mi-rang refers to falling into sleep, with sleep in Korean language."
