Huh Myoung-Wook’s Ottchil metal and wood tiered tray stand is individually handmade in the artist’s South Korea-based studio. Using the traditional Ottchil technique, the piece is coated with an eco-friendly lacquer from Rhus tree sap, giving it a lustrous and durable finish. The craft of Ottchil is a meticulous and labour-intensive process requiring more than 30 coats of lacquer to be applied. The artist skilfully creates the colour driven by the emotions of the day, so the same colour cannot be made twice. Perfect for afternoon tea, Huh Myoung-Wook uses the colour red to symbolise creativity, passion and love, while orange represents energy and enthusiasm. Please note this piece is handmade, meaning each one has subtle differences in colour, shape and detail, which add to its charm and character.

As a unique Korean craft technique, ottchil lacquering not only improves durability and functionality, but also adds an aesthetic touch with the resulting luxurious gloss and subtle colours. Lacquer adapts to the material and expresses itself through layers of colours.
