Good to know
Why visit
- Table of Craft is an Apgujeong shop for bringing a piece of Korean craft home: a rice bowl, coloured glass or a small woven object with an everyday use. It suits a deliberate souvenir browse, especially if you enjoy comparing materials and makers.tableofcraft+2
Choose something you will use
- Start with Muhwa’s Bok Rice Bowl, listed at ₩38,000 with the Korean word for good fortune, or Ou Glasswork’s Matte Powdery Yogurt Bowl, ₩85,000 in aqua blue or white. The former ties a daily meal to a Korean motif; the latter makes colour and a softly matte finish the attraction. These are catalogue examples, so check the actual pieces available before making a special trip.tableofcraft
Smaller gifts
- For a smaller purchase, compare Bright Craft’s 10cm broom (₩20,000), TOC’s Everyday Craft broom coaster (₩24,000) and the Everyday Craft postcard (₩2,000). They offer different ways to take the shop’s household-object theme home. The postcard is the simplest option if luggage space matters; ask about protective packing before choosing glass or ceramics. The website also lists a ₩4,000 gift-wrapping service using a hand-sewn fabric pouch.tableofcraft
What the space feels like
- Design Plus’s January 24, 2025 interview places the visit among vintage furniture, with an internal staircase connecting the shop to upstairs tea house Ado. The interviewer and founder discuss the craft cups they are drinking from. Founder Ha Tae-hee describes deliberately aiming for a casual atmosphere: useful objects alongside more playful artist pieces.design
Plan the stop
- Find the shop on the fourth floor at 16 Eonju-ro 173-gil. Its current official schedule closes on Tuesdays and finishes earlier on Sundays, at 5pm. Check current exhibition or workshop announcements separately; an older event listing does not mean that activity is available during your trip.tableofcraft
