Baeksu-Baekbok Ottchil Desk (Gyeongsang) by Cheyul. Material: Ash wood, silver 99%, cloisonné enamel, ottchil lacquer Magam. Size: W760 x D340 x H330 mm. The Baeksu-Baekbok Ottchil Desk (Gyeongsang) combines the beauty and practicality of traditional Korean floor-sitting culture. Originally used for reciting Buddhist scriptures in temples or reading books in a scholar’s study (Sarangbang), the Gyeongsang is characterized by its stable, low height and compact scale, perfectly suited to the unique low-seated perspective of a traditional Hanok. A defining feature is the "scroll-like" ends of the top panel, which curve gently toward the sky. This unique aesthetic also embodies the wisdom of ancestors, as the raised edges prevent scrolls or books from rolling off. Adorned with the Baeksu-Baekbok (Hundred Longevity and Hundred Fortune) motif, this piece carries a sincere wish for the user’s eternal health, long life, and infinite happiness. Cheyul is a Seoul atelier making lacquer and mother-of-pearl tableware, objects and jewellery by hand; made-to-order pieces can take 3–6 weeks.
