About

Yeoyu is a research studio focused on noticing and documenting the quiet rhythms of seasonal change and the everyday moments that often pass unnoticed. Each season, we choose a simple theme, something familiar, ordinary, and easily overlooked, and explore it through slow fieldwork, gentle conversation, and sensory research.

Our findings culminate in a seasonal workshop: an intimate gathering where we share coffee, stories, and small moments designed to help people pause, look closely, and reconnect with the shifting world around them.

Alongside our research, we create thoughtfully designed lifestyle objects that support a slower, more attentive way of living. From our signature coffee tools to the small goods that accompany daily routines, each piece is made to encourage an intentional approach to brewing, carrying, and moving through the world.

Rooted in the Korean concept of 여유 (yeoyu)

  • 여 (yeo | 余) — quiet abundance
  • 유 (yu | 裕) — a sense of ease
