Bear 58

In an alley off Poseok-ro in Gyeongju, an original vintage homeware shop that takes its street number, No. 58, straight into its name. With an attitude of introducing things that are warm and long-enduring like a bear, it fills the space one piece at a time with objects that hold time. What stands out especially is the glass — old bottles and glasses, each with a color and form made by the years, giving a depth you cannot see in new things. Here, where the collection is being filled slowly toward a deeper selection, you seem likely to meet something new each time you return. • Focus Item — Vintage glass vase. A cloudy color left on the surface by long time and an uneven curve change the mood of a space with just one flower.
