The Seaside collection by Vonz came to be in 2020 during the pandemic, inspired by the founder Jeongeun Kang’s silent visit to Jeju Island in 2018. While journeying along the Okke Trail, she sat down beside an unknown sea and found her thoughts silenced by the sight of green waters and foamy waves crashing against the red rock – the exact moment that informs this shot glass. To recreate it, she utilises the Korean ottchil technique, where 30 thin layers of rhus tree-derived lacquer are applied to create a distinct watercolour effect.

Seoul-based Jeongeun Kang founded Vonz to make everyday objects more meaningful. Her work sits at the intersection between old and new, blending a contemporary way of living with traditional Korean craft. Since 2018, she’s concentrated on the combination of Ottchil – a Korean lacquering technique that uses organic sap from the rhus tree – and glass, while also experimenting with tactility by mixing tofu with modern industrial by-products such as sawdust and ceramic powder. Her handmade pieces are created with professional technicians from small-scale workshops in Korea and possess an authentic beauty inspired by landscapes she’s encountered on her travels.
