A Korean Textile Tradition Inspires A Sculptural Furniture Collection
On a visit to the Met, as the Metropolitan Museum of Art is colloquially known to New Yorkers, artist Jane Yang-D’Haene and her husband, architect and D’Apostrophe Design founder Francis D’Haene, came across a historic Korean textile made using the jogakbo patchwork technique. It spoke to them, sparking the idea for solid-oak tables, consoles, and credenzas topped in a medley of glazed ceramic tiles recalling the textile tradition. She brought her background as a ceramicist to bear on the surfaces, while he shaped the proportions and forms, and although the couple had never designed together before, it proved the perfect match. Francis D’Haene passed away following the initial development of the Jogakbo series, but the collection stands forever as a souvenir of their shared artistic vision.
