Betwin Space

betwinspace design
Betwin Space is a design group in Seoul. Founded in 2008 by Hwan-Woo Oh and Jung-Gon Kim,
we explore the hidden meaning within the various boundaries of our lives.
Betwin Space defines what creates the essential boundaries of 'space' through a number of projects,
and suggests them for new 'space experiences'.
We think it is our job to expand the range of all boundaries and find new possibilities.

We live in ‘meaning’ and ‘use’ that intersect countless times in space.
Transforming these into design languages to create positive and creative experiences is the key strategy of Betwin Space.

To this end, we work on various studies and experiments, starting with questions about the most essential elements.

Betwin Space spatializes the possibilities of various boundaries.
_ between space and people
_ between people and objects
_ between brand and design
