Jisu Han Jung's 'Moo' cowffee table blends irony and sculptural design
South Korean designer Jisu Han Jung has created 'Moo', a cowffee table for New York-based Zarolat Studio. The table draws inspiration from agricultural life and the calm, ironic image of a cow, but avoids banal decoration. Its soft, round, compact forms recall the animal's body, reduced to essentials. The piece maintains a strong, playful presence between contemporary design and sculptural object. Jung stated he wanted to create an object that conveys familiarity and lightness, transforming a simple table into an almost affectionate presence.
