Summary • Seoul studio p(erson)al's "Soft Syntax" exhibition redefines the gooseneck component, exploring its flexibility/rigidity for responsive furniture design. • Woojun Park uses this industrial part to create dynamic, user-adaptive objects — reflecting a philosophy of balance and human-centered design.
p(erson)al, the Seoul-based design studio led by Woojin Park, has unveiled a spatial exhibition centering on his "de-goose" project. Titled "Soft Syntax," the installation of flexible furniture seeks to deconstruct the typical application of the gooseneck, a flexible structural component often used for lighting and industrial equipment.
The designer's experiment juxtaposes the gooseneck's dual character of flexibility and rigidity to uncover new forms and functional qualities. In
