Park Seo-Bo: a visionary of Dansaekhwa
Born in 1931, Park Seo-Bo became a pioneering figure in the Dansaekhwa movement, known for its monochromatic exploration and meditative repetition. His signature Écritures series utilized traditional materials like hanji paper to create a deeply introspective aesthetic that connected art to nature.
Recognized with the Order of Cultural Merit in 2021, Park Seo-Bo left an enduring legacy in the art world. This philosophy of simplicity and mindfulness is the foundation of the MYKITA Park Seo-Bo capsule collection.
A capsule collection without borders
The collaboration, titled 1 OF 0, reflects MYKITA Park Seo-Bo’s shared commitment to bold, timeless design. Inspired by the vivid monochromatic works of the artist, the collection combines stainless steel frames with vibrant hues that represent Park Seo-Bo’s distinct artistic perspective.
Every frame, part of this limited edition, is designed as a wearable piece of art, effortlessly blending practicality and elegance.
Shades inspired by nature’s palette
The MYKITA Park Seo-Bo collection features three exclusive shades drawn directly from the artist’s favorite tones:
- Maple Leaf: A striking red inspired by the hues of autumn foliage.
- Golden Olive: A warm, golden-green tone that soothes and captivates.
- Charcoal: A neutral and refined shade, embodying minimalist beauty.
These colors celebrate Park Seo-Bo’s deep bond with nature and his ability to distill its essence into art.
Honoring craftsmanship and sustainability
Each pair of MYKITA Park Seo-Bo glasses is limited to just 333 pieces per shade and includes a certificate of authenticity. The packaging, crafted from hanji paper, pays tribute to the artist’s heritage while reflecting MYKITA’s dedication to sustainable practices.
