About the Artist / Designer / Brand
Choi Su-bong – Needle Stripe Fan – Brown
Choi Su-bong fans come from a small family workshop in Namwon, a town in southwest Korea. Namwon has been known for hand fans for more than a century. Choi Su-bong and his wife Kim Bok-nam built the workshop together and made fans side by side for about 50 years.
After Choi’s death, Kim Bok-nam continued the work with their son Choi Won-seok. The family makes every Korean hand fan entirely by hand.
- Bamboo from Damyang, a region famous for its bamboo forests
- Hanji, the traditional Korean paper made from mulberry bark
- Each step done by hand in the Namwon workshop
The couple also revived an old double fan design that had nearly disappeared.
