How often, entering a particular room, do we raise our heads up to see the ceiling? Perhaps in palaces or museums - nothing more. At the same time, designer Ji Lee believes that the space of canvases is completely undeservedly not used by people to decorate their homes and offers us a solution to this problem.
The designer's idea is called "Parallel World" and consists in the fact that somewhere on the ceiling the author places a model of a miniature room upside down. Such a move does not clutter up the room, but at the same time gives the interior a certain zest. Among the premises that Ji Lee has decorated with his "parallel worlds" - his own apartment, the residence of Richard Lombard in Brooklyn, as well as the New York office of Google Corporation.
“People make the floors in their houses furniture, and the walls are covered with wallpaper and pictures are hung on them. Then why do we leave the ceilings empty? Ceiling decoration was considered a famous art form in past centuries, but then this tradition was lost due to the reductionism of modernism. People no longer look at ceilings. This space has become dead,”says Ji Lee. That is why he decided to revive the unused ceiling areas with his miniature "rooms". In addition, as the author admits, he likes to think that one way or another these are parallel worlds that coexist next to ours.
Ji Lee was born in Seoul, Republic of Korea. At the age of ten, he moved to Brazil, and later went to New York to master the art of design at the Parsons School of Design. Since 2008, Ji Lee has been the Creative Director of the Google Creative Lab in New York. In addition, as a freelancer, he collaborated with brands such as Nike, Jaguar, Coca-Cola, Samsung, Heineken, Canon.

The exhibition of this author, which opened in the Parisian gallery Palais de Tokyo, is therefore called the "Star Cave" (Grotte Stellaire)
