Jieun Ham

As the founder of the book design studio ‘Sangnok,’ designer Jieun Ham explores visual language and sensations through the medium of books.
Moving beyond the concept of a book as something merely to be read, she aims for a “book to be experienced,” presenting the book as both a spatial environment and a physical object.

“For Envol, I envisioned a cool and free image of soaring into the sky, while for Éveil, a cozy yet dreamlike image shrouded in mist came to mind.
I sought to visualize these concepts through the contrast of a vivid blue and a pale grey, expressing the tension created by these differing images through color.
For the covers, I used ‘Pebble Texture Paper,’ which possesses a stone-like surface feel. I hoped that the moment this unique texture is felt at the fingertips, the combined experience of the book and the fragrance would become even more vivid.”
