A city that holds a thousand years in its skyline, carried now in hand.
Seoul moves like no other city — Joseon palace gates stand beside glass towers, and the Han River threads between them without apology. Jang-i's Seoul City Series captures that particular compression of history: Gwanghwamun, Namsan Tower, and the fireworks that light the night above both — all rendered in hand-inlaid Najeonchilgi (나전칠기) lacquerwork across the surface of a double-wall vacuum-insulated mug. New Zealand Abalone shell provides the deep Pacific blue of the city's night sky; Golden Pearl shell gives the lit windows their warm glow. The fireworks are the artisan's signature — bright, precise, and unrepeatable. At 700ml, it holds a full morning without compromise.
- At the desk, where a 700ml capacity sees you through the morning without interruption.
- As the piece that changes rooms — equally composed in a Melbourne kitchen or a Gangnam office.
- Gifted to someone who has lived between cultures, who carries Seoul with them wherever they go.
Seoul contains multitudes. So does this mug — Joseon craftsmanship and modern thermal engineering, abalone from the Pacific, a city built from centuries of accumulation. Handcrafted in Korea, inlaid by artisan hands who have made this work their life's practice.
