Hi, I’m Chae Ji Won. I’m a multidisciplinary designer trained in scenography, interior and space design, with a DNSEP Master’s from the Beaux-Arts de Lyon. My practice blends theatre, film and interior spaces to build immersive environments that tell a story. I’ve collaborated with art teams, studios and theatres in Seoul and Lyon, and I enjoy turning concepts into tangible, luminous spaces. Through my work I aim to connect visible and invisible dimensions, awakening curiosity by revealing new perspectives in design and stage worlds. I’m always exploring how space, light and materials shape experience, and I’m excited to contribute to ambitious projects that blur boundaries between art and design.
