Araby is a design studio founded by Hyewon Lee in Seoul 2012. The name "ARABY" comes from the idea of the Silk Route that led from the old Arabia to Silla dynasty's trade and cultural transmission. As a little glassware passes across the desert that connects people to people, the beauty could be an interchange of the mind that overwhelms innumerable prejudices.
