Indigo Miindo is a sculptural lighting piece inspired by Korean beauty portraiture (Miindo) and the flowing, pleated forms of traditional dress (hanbok). The form reinterprets these curves into lighting, with a central opal globe held within a soft, structured body shaped through draped upcycled denim.

The surface features a white-to-indigo gradient, emphasizing the tonal depth of the material while echoing the visual language of traditional garments. A braided cord extends from the form, referencing traditional hairstyles and introducing a tactile interaction with the light.

The work explores how cultural forms can be translated into contemporary objects through material and making. Using upcycled denim connects sustainability with cultural narrative, transforming a familiar textile into a sculptural surface that carries new meaning. Rather than replicating tradition, the project reinterprets it through abstraction, material behavior, and everyday function.

Indigo Miindo reflects an ongoing interest in material exploration, heritage, and interaction, positioning lighting not only as a functional object, but as a medium for cultural expression and engagement.
