Die von Sanghyeok Lee gestalteten Objekte machen neugierig, laden ein zum Betrachten und Benutzen. Sie erwecken zunächst den Anschein, Gebrauchsgegenstände zu sein – Spiegel, Tisch, Regal oder Stuhl. Tritt man jedoch an sie heran und lässt sich auf den Dialog, zu dem sie herausfordern, ein, so merkt man, dass sich hinter der perfekten Verarbeitung, der minimalistischen Gestaltung, der Harmonie von Form und Funktion etwas verbirgt, das erst in der Interaktion mit den Objekten und in ihrer sinnlichen Erfahrung zum Vorschein kommt.Insgesamt fünf Arbeiten zeigt der aus Südkorea stammende Designer Sanghyeok Lee in seiner Ausstellung Domestic Architecture, sie werden an unterschiedlichen Orten im Museum präsentiert.

Sanghyeok Lee’s objects are intriguing and inviting to look at and use. They appear to be everyday objects – mirrors, tables, shelves and chairs. However, when taking a closer look and engaging in a dialogue with the objects, something new is revealed – something hidden behind the perfect workmanship, minimalist design and harmony between forms and function that only comes to light when interacting with and sensually experiencing the objects.
