최성일
런던 왕립예술대학(Royal College of Art)에서 디자인을 전공하고 런던과 베를린에서 활동했다. 현재는 서울을 중심으로 독립디자이너로서 스튜디오를 운영 중이다. 최성일 작가는 소재와 생산공정 연구를 통해 새로운 가능성을 탐구하고 이를 기반으로 실용적인 사물을 만드는 데 집중한다. 이러한 디자인 과정은 재료와 공정을 둘러싼 이야기를 사물에 담아낼 수 있는 기초가 되며, 완성된 오브제는 그 자체로 서사를 응축한 매체로 존재한다. 독창적인 기능과 아름다움은 독창적인 소재와 제작 과정에서 비롯된다는 믿음 아래 공예와 산업, 예술의 경계를 유연하게 넘나 들며 감각적인 조형 작업을 이어가고 있다.
