Equilibrium by Lee Sisan

Equilibrium“, is a fascinating object created by South Korean designer and artist Lee Sisan, who captures the essence of balance and harmony with a minimalist aesthetic.

“Equilibrium” is a stunning combination of raw steel, stainless steel, and stone. The tilted plate, seemingly unstable floating above the perfectly formed circle, is actually stabilized by the weight of the stone inside the circle. It is a remarkable representation of the power of nature and the forces that act on various objects to maintain a balanced state that does not change over time.

This object is more than just a sculpture; it is an exploration of nature, man-made, and humanity and how these elements interact harmoniously. Through the use of natural materials, Lee shows the uniqueness and purity of these elements and brings them to light through various experimental methods.

“Equilibrium” embodies the artist’s search for points of contact between seemingly contradictory relationships such as past and present, nature and artificiality, primordiality, and modernity. By harmoniously connecting these dots in his work, Lee Sisan creates an object that simultaneously captivates and soothes the viewer.

As the founder of LEESISAN design studio in 2018, Lee Sisan has dedicated himself to creating furniture, lighting, and sculpture, with his work always serving the union of form and function. With a background in interior design, Lee has a unique perspective on space and objects that is expressed in his work.
