Kim employs color smartly by picking a sophisticated pink and combining it with a warm, dark-chocolate brown. Kim also demonstrates she is a great creative thinker by cutting paper plates into three-dimensional gingko leaves that make for graphic and interesting wall decorations with real architectural interest. Additionally, Kim tapes off her white coffee table before painting it, creating a mosaic pattern that represents her voice as a designer with a real international flair. Her work is sophisticated with an edge, and her creation of a pure and simple light column from the bookcase back is a great way to add something sculptural and functional at the same time.
