“I believe that design is a dialogue between the creator, the material, and the user. My approach to industrial design is that every object, whether it’s a piece of furniture or a fabric, should be a harmony between art and functional design.”

In Shim's work, art and design seamlessly merge, and it often involves fibres that intertwine, connect, and intersect, creating new and dynamic surfaces and visuals. This exploration of materials allows him to craft pieces that are both visually stunning and functional.
