Seoul City Hosts '2021 Sewoon Made Exhibition' Featuring Top 7 Popular Products Born in Sewoon Area

From the 11th to the 25th, held at Makers Cube 'Greencell' on the 3rd floor west side of Daerim Shopping Center

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 11th that it will hold the '2021 Sewoon Made Exhibition,' which gathers and showcases the most popular representative products among those introduced over three years of the 'Sewoon Made' project supporting prototype development applying technology and innovative ideas in the Sewoon Shopping Mall area.

Sewoon Made is a project under the Sewoon Shopping Mall area urban regeneration initiative that helps develop prototypes by integrating local resources and provides opportunities for the developed products to meet consumers, supporting product commercialization and sales.

The '2021 Sewoon Made Exhibition' will be held for two weeks from the 11th to the 25th on the 3rd floor west side of Daerim Shopping Mall at the Makers Cube 'Greencell.' It will showcase seven products that have received positive consumer responses since the project began in 2018 and through crowdfunding, along with stories of the creators, technicians, manufacturing processes, and the prototype development stages leading to the final products. Additionally, a 'Sewoon Made New Products' space will be set up to feature products currently being funded on the crowdfunding platform Tumblbug as of June.

Through this exhibition, prototypes developed since 2018 will be reintroduced to citizens, reemphasizing the role of technicians in the product manufacturing process and enhancing understanding of the small-scale urban manufacturing industries distributed around the Sewoon Shopping Mall area and the collaborative processes based on them.

Yang Yong-taek, Acting Director of the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s Urban Regeneration Office, said, “We hope that the excellent products created through collaboration between skilled artisans and young people in the Sewoon Made project will be shared with many citizens through this exhibition, and we will continue to support the revitalization of the Sewoon area industry so that new attempts utilizing local resources can continue.”
