STORY OF DOGABI

DOGABI is an old word for Korean goblin.

In Korea, the goblin has been regarded as the god of abundance and wealth.

They make gold for good people, protect their homes, and help them succeed. Their figures exist in people's imaginations, and sometimes they are seen as men with magical powers, or they are portrayed as terrifying monsters. You can meet Korean goblin faces imagined by ceramic artist Hyung Jun Kim in our brand.
His one-of-a-kind functional ceramic sculptures will become collectible pieces of art.
