Corners Studio is a Seoul based office for graphic design of Daewoong Kim and Hyojoon Jo founded in 2012. Our practice focuses primarily on creative direction and visual communication strategies through typography, conceptual and content-related approaches. Our work includes formats such as prints, posters, publications, exhibitions, signage, marketing materials, websites and visual identities. We have produced works for artists, designers, cultural institutions, and small–big brands.
We have a particular interest in how ideas turn into physical objects. Alongside the graphic design practice Corners Studio run a risograph printing workshop, Corners Printing, for self-learning and self-experiment, and also for collaborating with friends and other people.
Daewoong Kim and Hyojoon Jo graduated at Hongik University (KR) and Central Saint Martins (UK) respectively, and Hyojoon currently teaches at Daejeon University (KR); we have lectured, talked and delivered workshops in Stavanger, Bangkok, Shanghai, Los Angeles, Glasgow, Osaka, Bergen, Gwacheon, Maastricht, Jeju, and Seoul.
