This collaborative research project blends traditional craftsmanship with advanced digital fabrication. Through this fusion, the exhibition presents a new vision for contemporary fashion, celebrating the beauty and symbolism of Hangeul.

Opening next week at KCDF Gallery in Seoul, Hangeul Blossom: Digital Craft Fashion is a research project by professor and designer Rick Lee, Creative Director of RICK RHE.
Developed through a research collaboration between Korea and Italy, the project explores how technology can expand creativity and craftsmanship through cultural identity, advanced fabrication, sustainable materials, and experimental design.

Building on 2024 collaboration with Stratasys which introduced South Korea’s first PolyJet 3D-printed fashion project using multicolour and multi-material printing directly on fabric and leather. The exhibition presents a capsule collection that transforms the Korean writing system, Hangeul, into digital fabrication. At its heart is the message of kkotgil (꽃길), meaning “a path of flowers” and symbolising hope, beauty, and a positive journey ahead.

Hangeul Blossom: Digital Craft Fashion

The exhibition explores the convergence of Hangeul’s visual beauty, traditional Korean culture, and contemporary digital fabrication.
Inspired by Hangeul typography and Korean Munjado, designer Rick Lee combines the symbolic forms of kkot (꽃, “flower”) and gil (길, “path”) with floral imagery. Through PolyJet 3D printing, machine embroidery, flocking, and digital textile printing, Hangeul is transformed into tactile surfaces, sculptural details, and wearable forms.

Centered on the concept of Hybrid Digital Craft, the exhibition presents technology as a creative tool that extends human craftsmanship and reinterprets the cultural and sculptural qualities of Hangeul in contemporary fashion.

한글 꽃 피다:디지털 크래프트 패션
Hangeul Blossom: Digital Craft Fashion
《한글 꽃 피다: 디지털 크래프트 패션》은 한글의 조형미와 한국 전통문화의 미학을 현대 디지털 제작기술과 융합하여 새로운 패션디자인의 가능성을 탐색하는 전시입니다. 이승익은 한글 문자의 상징성과 길상(吉祥)의 의미를 담은 문자도와 한글 타이포그래피에서 영감을 받아, 한글 ‘꽃’과 ‘길’의 형태와 상징성을 꽃의 이미지와 결합한 시각적 이야기로 발전시켰습니다. 본 전시는 PolyJet 3D 프린팅, 기계 자수, 플로킹, 디지털 프린팅 등 다양한 디지털 크래프트 기법과 소재를 하나의 의상 안에 유기적으로 결합하여 한글을 입체적 표면과 촉각적 장식, 신체에 착용되는 조형 언어로 확장하고, 전통과 기술이 조화를 이루는 ‘하이브리드 디지털 크래프트’를 통해 포스트 디지털 시대의 새로운 패션디자인 방향을 제안합니다.
