Kaccia
Affordable Luxury for your bathing 2020
Personal Working
WIP of Kaccia, 2022
Kaccia is a scrubbing towel, a tool of traditional Korean Sauna Culture.
This tool is reinterpreted with the concept of "little luxury for my precious self".
Traditional Korean Sauna Culture should keep heritage as a tool for sharing family affection. Cleaning each other’s backs after a long time, pushing dirt with a scrubbing towel in a wet sauna full of hot steam, this is the essence of Korean tradition.
The objective of this project is the rediscovery of the “Affordable Luxury” tools for Korean Sauna.
(1)-(12) show a case study depicting the formation of a personalised form for the tool. Each user starts with an abstract, un- molded shape which is iteratively refined by smoothing and carving it as to fit to one’s own comfort.
