Founded in 2014, WEKINO has built its identity around a refined approach to proportion, material research and clarity of form. Its first participation at Milan Design Week marks a strategic step in positioning the brand within the global design landscape, with a focus on bridging Korean and international perspectives.
Under Lee's artistic direction, the brand continues to develop collaborative projects with both Korean and international designers, shaping what it describes as an evolving and cohesive collection. Known for his experimental approach to materials, Lee brings a distinct balance between authenticity and precision, guiding the brand's creative direction.
The presentation includes several new collections, among them Moon and Salle by Nick Ross, which explore lightweight metal structures and essential forms. These designs reflect an architectural approach to furniture, where structure and spatial presence are closely intertwined.

Additional pieces, such as Tab Screen and Tab Table by Studio Hinge, further reinforce the brand's commitment to combining functional design with a restrained aesthetic language.
WEKINO positions itself as a lifestyle brand placing design at the core of its identity, aiming to introduce products that contribute to "visual clarity, warmth, and dynamism to residential spaces." Each collection reflects a balance between timeless design principles and contemporary sensibility, rooted in material quality and thoughtful construction.
Through its Milan debut, the brand seeks to engage with a wider European audience, highlighting a design approach that merges cultural context with universal appeal. The collections demonstrate an ability to navigate between minimalism and expressive materiality, aligning with current shifts in global interior design.
WEKINO will exhibit at Salone del Mobile.Milano, Rho, Hall 3, Booth C27, from 21 to 26 April 2026.
With this presentation, the brand signals its ambition to expand internationally while maintaining a strong design identity grounded in craftsmanship, collaboration and material exploration.
