Bae Se Hwa made his international debut in 2010, at the Design Miami Fair in Basel. Since then he has become a fresh sensation as a young Korean designer. Bae is best known for his dynamic collection of works called the “Steam Series”. This collection embodies emotional function as well as displaying a sense of calmness and serenity. In Bae’s “Steam Series” he utilizes a steam bending technique in which he distorts and deconstructs very linear wood elements and then recombines them into new pieces that are bent and curvilinear in form. This process has allowed Bae to create beautifully organic flowing pieces that are very much alive with rhythm and demonstrate the flexibility of wood despite its solidity.
