On the fourth floor of a building in a Samgakji alley, a small, tidy space you reach by climbing the stairs. Just as the name says, soft texture and hard materiality sit together, and glass especially stands out. Cups that keep the thick trace of a hand, vases moving between clear and translucent, objects with sleek lines quietly hold the light from the window. Fabric and kitchenware, lighting, even incense — objects chosen with a taste that does not lean one way carry their own temperature within a modern grain. On a sunny afternoon, climb the stairs and gaze leisurely at the light through the glass. • Focus Item — Hand-blown glass. The thickness and curve that keep the hand's trace turn an everyday glass of water into something a little different.
