Hyosung Supports Eco-Friendly Industrial Materials for Kang Hyuk's Works View original image


[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyewon] Hyosung Advanced Materials Co., Ltd. announced on the 22nd that it supported global artist 'KANGHYUK' with eco-friendly seatbelt materials and carbon fiber for his artistic activities.


KANGHYUK's new work was created to commemorate the launch of a premium electric vehicle brand in the Korean market. This piece transformed the seatbelt materials actually used in the electric vehicle and Hyosung's eco-friendly industrial materials into an art sculpture through KANGHYUK's craftsmanship. By using eco-friendly seatbelts and carbon fiber, the work integrates the characteristics of industrial materials while experimentally combining artistic design, showcasing a new aspect of industrial materials.


The relationship between Hyosung Group and KANGHYUK is not new. In May, Hyosung Advanced Materials supplied airbag fabric free of charge to KANGHYUK, who then presented a total of 23 collections including ski suit concept clothing based on this material. Additionally, Hyosung TNC provided various functional materials such as ‘Regen’ fiber made from recycled transparent PET bottles for the collaboration.



The brand KANGHYUK is a global artist brand launched by Choi Kanghyuk and Son Sangrak, who were classmates in the men's wear master's program at the Royal College of Art (RCA) in London, UK.
