A pop-up store offering a glimpse of how traditional crafts can be used in everyday life is opening.

The Korea Heritage Agency and the Korea Heritage Promotion Agency will operate the “K-CRAFT Becomes Part of Everyday Life” pop-up store at Yeonhui Jeongeum Glass Pavilion in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, from October 24 to 29. Under the theme “Uses for Traditional Crafts in Everyday Life,” the store will showcase around 70 types of crafts suited to modern tastes. Some of the items were created through collaborations between practitioners of National Intangible Heritage and contemporary designers, supported by the Korea Heritage Administration. An official said the initiative aims to “support practitioners in continuing their craft traditions sustainably and broaden their engagement with the public.”

The store is divided into three spaces. “Filling” features tableware and storage containers for food and other items, while “Adorning” presents accessories reinterpreting traditional decorative elements such as silk petals, gold-leafed ramie, hand quilting, and dancheong. In “Resting,” visitors can see tea utensils, stools, blankets, and lighting.
