Jeonghwa Seo

Seoul, South Korea

Jeonghwa Seo (b.1982) is a South Korean designer and artist whose practice operates at the intersection of fine art, craftsmanship, and functional design.

After completing Bachelor of Fine art and Design at Hongik University in Seoul, Seo received his Master’s degree in Contextual Design from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2010 and a Ph.D. in Design from Seoul National University in 2024.

At the core of Seo’s methodology is a rigorous investigation into functional forms and tactile perception. Seo’s practice paired standardized geometric volumes with contrasting materials—such as brass, rosewood, basalt, acrylic, and aluminum—to examine how variations in texture, temperature, density, and surface alter the human sensory experience.
