Extra&ordinary Design Transforms the Ordinary into Extraordinary Objects

Extra&ordinary Design is a London-based design studio founded by designer Hyunhee Hwang who focuses on design-led products that transform ordinary spaces into the extraordinary. For the past 10 years, Hwang has worked in the design industry in South Korea and England, honing her aesthetic which comes to life through playful colors, sculptural shapes, and the use of jesmonite.

The brand’s latest collection is called Scala, featuring a series of objects, like a vase, candle holder, incense holder, and trays, inspired by Roman marble architecture, particularly marble block stairs and columns. Each piece is individually cast and handmade giving them marble-like characteristics and unique finishes.

Inspiration for the Scala collection

Part of the Jumony collection, the accessory trays (above) and wall mounted planters (below) featured ruffled edges resembling fabric details found on traditional Korean garments and accessories.
