Seoul's 6 best interior designs
Seoulites are becoming spoiled.
Sleek, smart design is becoming so much the norm that people expect even the smallest of new spaces and venues to be interesting and well-crafted.
And given the creative architecture that has been cropping up all over Seoul, it's no surprise that the city was chosen as the World Design Capital this past year, a title bestowed biennially by the UNESCO-affiliated International Council of Societies of Industrial Design.
Check out these six carefully designed small venues that will make your experience out and about- shopping, drinking, and dining- everything but mundane.
