솥 SOT Tradition
긱 GEEK Someone who explores one thing in depth

SOTGEEK brings together sot, a traditional Korean cooking pot, and geek. Sot stands for tradition; geek, for someone who explores one thing in depth.

SOTGEEK brings the way Korean windows handle light into rooms today. Gamulgamul is a hanji light that filters light through a sheet of dakji, with time softly appearing beyond it.

SOTGEEK spent a long time adjusting the brightness, the texture of the paper, and the spacing of the lattice to find a light that feels gentle on the eyes. That patience with one thing is what geek means in the name.

SOTGEEK makes objects that grow more familiar and more cherished with time.
