Description(English)	This collaboration with MUJI introduces the Book Page Holder, designed for one-handed reading and inspired by Sejong's migratory birds. Reflecting the Olive-backed Pipit, Chinese Grey Shrike, and Whooper Swan, the holder has three hole sizes to ensure usability for everyone. Crafted from mahogany and walnut wood, each piece is handmade for function and elegance. The stand draws inspiration from Sejong's sandbars, natural resting spots for migratory birds. Made of concrete, it serves as a stable base for the holder and stationery, symbolizing harmony. Together, they invite users to rest on the river of language, like birds on sandbars.
Description(Native)	MUJI와의 로컬 프로젝트 협업으로 제작된 이 북링은 세종시에 찾아오는 철새들에게서 영감을 받아, 한 손으로 책을 읽을 수 있도록 디자인되었습니다. 힝둥새, 물때까치, 큰고니의 형상을 모티브로 하여, '이것으로 충분하다'는 MUJI의 철학을 담아 미니멀한 형태로 완성되었습니다. 모든 사용자가 편리하게 사용할 수 있도록 세 가지 크기의 손가락 구멍을 제공하며, 마호가니와 월넛 목재로 제작되어 기능성과 심미성 모두를 고려했습니다. 북링 스탠드는 세종시 강변의 모래톱에서 영감을 얻었습니다. 철새들의 쉼터인 이 모래톱처럼, 콘크리트로 제작된 스탠드는 북 페이지 홀더와 문구류를 안정적으로 올려놓을 수 있도록 설계되었습니다. 두 제품은 마치 철새들이 강가의 모래톱에 머물다 여정을 이어가듯, 사용자가 책이라는 언어의 강 위에서 잠시 쉬어갈 수 있도록 돕습니다.
