The Youth, Chair

The Youth, Chair is a minimalist chair created by Seoul-based designer Younghyun Lee for Meeseek. The Youth is a design project that seeks to revive and reimagine memories embedded in old, forgotten objects. These items, worn by time and use, may have lost their original function, but they still hold significant emotional value. As they age, their forms and colors change, yet the memories they carry remain, though often fading from active recollection. The project aims to breathe new life into these objects, such as discarded chairs and old belongings, by transforming them into pieces that honor their past. Each item in The Youth serves as a vessel of memories, with scratches and faded marks acting as powerful reminders of their history. The project’s focus is on preserving the passage of time within these objects, celebrating the unique beauty that comes with age. By reconnecting these old memories with the present, “The Youth” emphasizes the enduring value of the past.
