Atelier SOOBO
Short Bio
Founded by Korean ceramicists Bokyung Kim and Minsoo Lee, Atelier SOOBO creates refined everyday ceramics shaped by silence, balance, and tradition. Each piece is made by hand in their Dießen am Ammersee studio—rooted in the deep heritage of Korean pottery, yet designed for contemporary life.
"The purist simplicity of the work radiates calm and harmony—and invites touch."
— Atelier SOOBO
Atelier SOOBO’s ceramics are quiet but intentional—formed on the wheel with a language of reduction and restraint. Kim and Lee work closely together, each vessel passing through their shared studio and sensibility.
Their forms are deeply influenced by traditional Korean pottery, yet stripped of excess. The result is a purity of line and surface that reflects their core values: silence, rhythm, and timeless functionality.
Each piece is made slowly—wheel-thrown, refined, and reduction-fired—and designed to invite touch. Whether used for tea, food, or simply contemplation, these vessels are made to live with, not just to observe.
Our gallery, studio, and tea space are a hub for experiencing and sharing the art of ceramics and tea.
Similar to the concept of “Utsuwa-galleries” in Japan, we are holding monthly exhibitions of unique ceramicists from Japan, China and Europe.
We also regularly hosting Workshops and Tea Experiences.
