Soluna Fine Craft, the craft label of Soluna Art Group, presents a curated selection of works that foreground the aesthetic sensibilities and material experimentation shaping contemporary Korean craft. Working across a range of materials, the artists explore a universal visual language while maintaining a distinctly Korean perspective attuned to the present moment.
This year marks Soluna Art Group’s fourth participation in the festival. The exhibition will be held at St George Street Gallery in the heart of Mayfair, running from 8–17 May. Participating artists include Kyouhong Lee (glass), Woosun Cheon (metal), Choi Keeryong (glass), Dahye Jeong (horsehair), and Yaerin Pyun (ceramics), presented alongside emerging artists newly introduced to London audiences.
Titled Origin of Materials, the exhibition proposes that the origin of materiality lies not in the substance itself, but in the artist. The ways in which materials are handled, and the time devoted to bringing each work into being, reflect the environments in which artists live and the attitudes that inform their practice. Materiality therefore arises not solely from the inherent properties of clay, glass, or metal, but from the depth of thought and sensibility brought to them. Through this process, a subtle sense of Korean identity emerges, shaped by lived experience and cultural context.
Alongside the exhibition, this year’s programme will also explore new and engaging dialogues through collaborations with fashion and design, opening further conversations around material, form, and contemporary craft, ultimately suggesting that materiality is not simply a matter of substance, but of thought.

One of a Kind Edition, a platform dedicated to celebrating craftsmanship and its creators, unveils its inaugural exhibition. The exhibition showcases exceptional contemporary craft artists and designers from South Korea, featuring specially curated objects brought to London Craft Week.
This edition presents all artworks as part of a theme of shared meal, elegantly arranged across a single, expansive table where everyday objects transform into sculptural, symbolic, and ritualistic elements.
By displaying the artworks on the surface of a dining table, the inaugural edition blurs the distinction between functionality and aesthetics, inviting collectors to engage with each piece through the intimate lens of dining.
The exhibition includes:
Metalworks – Studio Yeodong Yun
Glasswork – OU Glasswork by Hye Yeon Yoo
Glasswork – Multeo Yaiji Kim & Sansjun Choi
Ceramic – Kimkim Studio by Jihyun Kim
Woodworks – Yezi Lee
Textiles – Limn Seoul by Sooyon Kim
In collaboration with eba Marylebone, this inaugural edition will be showcased in their exquisite showroom, alongside their newly introduced collection of dining tables.
