Huihi Studio is a Korean craft brand
inspired by the gentle sound of a child’s laughter, “hee-hee,”
and the symbolism of Double Happiness (雙喜).
Rooted in memories of growing up in the 1990s,
the brand draws from the soft glow of mother-of-pearl
once found in a grandmother’s bedroom wardrobe —
an object that held family wishes, time, and quiet joy.
Through contemporary interpretations of traditional
Korean mother-of-pearl lacquerware,
Huihi Studio brings these memories into everyday life,
creating a joyful and new tradition for the present.
