Soru

Carmine

Towering pine trees and slender stalks rise beneath drifting clouds across a luminous peach-pink ombré sky. A radiant red sun and moon punctuate the scene—symbols of balance and renewal that recur throughout Korean visual culture.

“What I love about Korean art is how expressive and uninhibited it is, as well as its embrace of intense colour. There is whimsy, humour, and fantasy—but above all, a love of the beautiful.” - Young Huh.

  • An adaptation of the wallcovering we designed with Young Huh for her home in New York, Soru distils the original into essential elements.

    The name Soru comes from the Korean 소루—an ancient term for pavilion or tower. In traditional Minhwa, these elevated structures symbolise scholarly retreat and heightened perspective, evoking watchtowers and contemplative spaces that suggest both refuge and vantage point.

    Reinterpreting centuries-old visual language, Soru offers a timeless expression of Korean heritage reimagined for contemporary interiors.

  • Fromental have collaborated with New York interior designer Young Huh to create Soru, a contemporary interpretation of Korean Minhwa. Originally created as an elaborate bespoke commission for Young's home, Soru distills complex narrative into essential composition. Slender stalks, pine trees, mushrooms, and drifting clouds traverse a luminous peach-pink ombré sky, punctuated by a radiant sun and moon—symbols of balance and renewal.
