Buncheong Vine Candlestick

A new piece by Korean ceramic artist Jungwoo Kim, this Buncheong candlestick blends quiet elegance with bold presence. Handcrafted using traditional Buncheong techniques, its soft matte surface is adorned with the artist’s signature iron-painted vine motifs—playful, fluid, and entirely unique.

Unlike typical metal candlesticks often seen in European or Western decor, this piece feels alive. Its layered form and rhythmic carvings echo architectural balance while retaining the charm of the handmade. Each brushstroke and curve carries the artist’s intuitive movement—both grounded in Joseon tradition and strikingly contemporary.

Simple yet full of character, it brings soulful contrast to modern spaces—whether used as a candlestick or displayed as an inspiring sculptural object.

About the Artist

Jung-woo Kim is a ceramic artist dedicated to reviving the essence of Joseon-era Buncheong pottery. Inspired by nature, he meticulously studies and blends different types of clay to capture the raw energy of the earth in his works. His pottery reflects the bold and spontaneous spirit of traditional Korean artisans while carrying a unique contemporary sensibility.

Kim primarily illustrates flowers and vines using iron-painted designs. His drawings are intentionally rough and simple, sometimes resembling the pure, unfiltered expressions of a child. This combination of unrefined texture and naive charm gives his work an intriguing duality—both familiar and exotic.
