Minjae Kim (b. 1989, Seoul) lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
Seoul-born, New York-based Minjae Kim’s furniture practice predicts playfulness, seduces through functionality and brings a given viewer-user into tactile devotion. From his predictive bodily impressions carved into wood and the anthropomorphic sensibility of his forms, to the idiosyncratic silhouettes of his quilted fiberglass vessels, Kim insists on the invitation to actuate form and produce generative artistic meaning through materiality and touch.
An alumnus of the Architecture program at Columbia University’s GSAPP, Kim spent time working with Studio Giancarlo Valle before establishing his solo studio practice in 2021, and has been featured prominently in trade publications Apartamento Magazine, Office Magazine,Architectural Digest, Pin-Up, Milk, Cero, and more.
