Teo Yang: Design Tangents Episode Seventeen
We try to keep up with the South Korean Interior designer, aesthete, collector and entrepreneur
Teo Yang speaks softly and humbly while parsing his mind for images and references of things past that inform his incredibly chic vision of the present and future. An interior designer by training, his creative energy keeps expanding; he runs his eponymous design studio alongside a furniture company, a fragrance company, a side hobby writing science fiction, and he also creates meaningful collaborations.
Though he could live anywhere, in choosing to renovate a 1917 hanook (traditional town house) in one of Seoul’s remaining bukchon neighborhoods he weaves the many influences in his life—art, books, furniture, collections of all kinds, old and new in a constantly evolving, always inspiring creative hub. One of the most special moments during our CH Korea trip was when Teo welcomed us into his home, sharing the things that he’s found, made, studied and honored.
Use tradition as a resource to build the future

You can see his work in private homes, by visiting Blue Bottle’s recently opened new Studio in Seoul, chic rest stops and museums, shop his beautiful furniture and furnishings at his Eastern Edition, shop his fragrances at his Eath Library and follow him on Instagram.
