LX Hausys Holds the 2nd LX Ji-in Interior Design Competition

[Asia Economy Reporter Donghyun Choi] LX Hausys announced on the 23rd that it will hold an interior design contest in collaboration with young designers.

On the same day, LX Hausys held the “2nd LX Z:IN Interior Design Contest Awards Ceremony” at the LX Z:IN Interior Z:IN Square Gangnam Exhibition Hall located in Nonhyeon-dong, Seoul, with contest winners and LX Hausys officials in attendance.

Following last year, this second contest invited ideas from university students nationwide from March to May in two categories: ▲Interior Design and ▲Product Design.

LX Hausys selected winners through a first round of internal screening and a second round of external expert evaluation, awarding one grand prize team (prize money of 10 million KRW), two gold prize teams (each 5 million KRW), two silver prize teams (each 2 million KRW), four bronze prize teams (each 1 million KRW), and 20 honorable mentions.

The grand prize was awarded to the team of Choo Dohyun (4th year) and Kim Jiwoong (3rd year), students from Hoseo University’s Department of Interior Design, for their work titled “The Aesthetics of Filling,” which incorporated the Korean beauty of ‘Jogakbo’?patchwork made by sewing together leftover fabric?into kitchen space design. Reflecting the kitchen’s expansion from a simple cooking area to a space for rest and communication, they proposed a new kitchen design concept composed of design elements that enable various activities.

Grand prize, gold prize, and silver prize winners will be offered internship opportunities at LX Hausys, and outstanding interns will receive the privilege of bypassing document screening and the first interview stage to directly participate in the second interview during open recruitment.

At the awards ceremony, grand prize winners Choo Dohyun and Kim Jiwoong said, “We drew the philosophy of ‘filling’ from the traditional wrapping cloth, bojagi, which has long symbolized the containment of blessings, and applied the Korean beauty of Jogakbo?created by combining various colored fabric pieces?to the kitchen space.”

Kang Kyewoong, CEO of LX Hausys, stated, “We held the second design contest to promote LX Z:IN, which leads domestic interior trend design, to university students who are also future customers, and to secure outstanding talent. We plan to actively utilize the original and highly aesthetic winning works from this contest in the development of LX Z:IN interior products and residential space design concepts.”
