White shop
Lifestyle & design · Seochon
David Mellor cutlery, tableware and linens sit in an entirely white Seochon room that encourages a closer look at everyday design. This is a considered-object browse, especially if a utensil’s shape or a fabric’s texture matters more to you than a souvenir logo.

Good to know
Why visit
- White Shop is Informalware’s fourth-floor Seochon shop, bringing tableware, cutlery, textiles and everyday objects into a white room. It is a useful stop if your idea of a travel purchase is a considered household object, with David Mellor cutlery a recurring point of interest in recent coverage.bunshun+3
Start with the cutlery, then compare softer pieces
- David Mellor cutlery is the most clearly identified place to begin. CREA’s May 2025 report highlighted collaboration pieces and spoons from ₩30,000 at the time; Lounge Talk’s April 2026 neighborhood account also singled out the cutlery. Think of that earlier price as context, not a current quote. If you enjoy useful design objects, compare the utensils rather than expecting an inexpensive souvenir rack. The selection includes international makers.bunshun+1
- For something other than metal or tableware, travel writer YOKO’s October 2026 visit report describes linens, stationery, candles, bags and clothing alongside the dishes. Those offer a different browsing route if you prefer fabric or paper objects. CREA previously covered woven baskets by François Desplanches during a special exhibition. Check the current exhibition if a particular maker is the reason you want to go.arne+1
A small, deliberately arranged room
- YOKO explicitly describes visiting the fourth-floor shop and being welcomed by an entirely white space. Lounge Talk’s editor found the compact room surprisingly expansive and calm. Together they suggest a stop for looking closely at a smaller selection, especially if you enjoy comparing everyday objects more than browsing a large department-store assortment.arne+1
Fit it into a Seochon afternoon
- The current official directory lists Wednesday–Sunday, noon–7pm, at 4F, 17 Jahamun-ro 10-gil. Check @whiteshop.kr for the current exhibition before making a special trip. Earlier features carry different hours, so the operator’s directory is the better planning reference.informalware
