Moiré Mobile : Dal

A balance held between line and surface.

The Dal mobile combines a long fabric ribbon with a circular moiré surface

A long ribbon of joined patterns meets a circular fabric form in the air. A descending vertical line contrasts with the round surface, while overlapping patterns create depth.

The surface patterns change subtly with the viewer’s position and the movement of air. The light fabric invites attention to both its precise structure and the empty space around it.

Today’s technology,
at its most beautiful.

Seungki Kim is a designer connecting engineering precision with the aesthetics of handcraft. After earning a PhD in Industrial Design from KAIST, he worked as a senior designer at Samsung Electronics. His practice has since spanned a media-art duo, Hyundai Motor’s ZER01NE creator program and creative direction at an AI startup, leading to the founding of FABOR.

As an artist in residence at Sindang Creative Arcade, Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture, he continues to explore form through 3D printing. Through precisely designed patterns and thin, flexible surfaces, he brings the beauty of contemporary technology into lighting, objects and spaces.
