Designer Chaehoon Moon, inspired by her Korean heritage,chooses materials that can be reborn in the hands of masters who are versed in them. Each DaMoon article has a graceful character that can be found only in handcrafted articles.

Moon was born in Korea in 1985. She majored in design in Ewha University, School of Art and Design, and got a summa cum laude in her master’s degree summa in 2011.

She is now working in Seoul. She was raised by parents, who were professionals and also travelled a lot. She visited many countries to observe and experience many different local cultures and native lifestyles. In her youth,she came to realise the vastness of the world and the many different things to discover. This realisation of diversity led her an awakening of herself, her culture, and her country. This has been the source of inspiration for her life and work as a designer. In high school, her first work of art was an accessory that was based on the Korean national flag. Connecting the essence of the traditional Korean culture and craft to modern design has been her main concern ever since.
