νŠΈλ‘œν”Ό

The Alumni Cup is a four-sided tower in translucent blue, set on a waisted stem above a square base. The base carries the only words on the trophy: The Alumni Cup Β· Established 2025.

Each side holds seven plates, twenty-eight in all, one for every champion of the Cup's first twenty-eight years. The winning school's name goes on the next plate, and the trophy stays with that school for a year, until the next champion takes it home.

λ””μžμΈ: μœ€μ†Œν˜„ μž‘κ°€

For the Alumni Cup, Yun Sohyun worked through nearly ninety design drafts, countless revisions and detail tests, with the help of many people. She made it as a heritage piece meant to carry the Cup for twenty-eight years, and has said the trophy was especially meaningful to her.

Yun first showed her Layer series at her 2015 graduation exhibition and made her debut in Milan. She has since exhibited in Germany, Italy, France and elsewhere, drawing interest from media and brands worldwide. In 2020 she held her first solo exhibition in Korea, at the Desker Design Store, and she continues to introduce new works and series while collaborating with leading Korean companies including SK, Meta and CJ ENM.

She was selected as one of 200 women designers from the past century of design for Phaidon's Woman Made, with her TONE Table as her featured work. In 2023 she exhibited with New York partner Sight Unseen, was named to the NYC Design Week Hot List 7, and was featured in The New York Times.
