: Designed for root vegetables like carrots and leeks. Storing them upright in damp sand mimics their natural growth state and maintains humidity, which helps them stay fresh longer and prevents rot.
Jihyun Ryou’s project consists of unique, non-electrical storage objects designed to preserve food using traditional methods rather than refrigeration. While these items were originally developed as design prototypes, they are occasionally available for purchase by demand ; interested buyers must typically contact the designers directly through their studio, JIHYUN DAVID , to arrange for reproduction. Key Design Objects & Methods
: A two-tiered wooden bin where apples are stored above potatoes. The ethylene gas emitted by the apples prevents the potatoes from sprouting, while the bin keeps the potatoes in the necessary darkness.
: A wooden shelf that stores eggs outside the fridge to prevent them from absorbing refrigerator odors. It includes a glass of water for the "water test": if an egg sinks, it is fresh; if it floats, it has gone bad.
