Bunker Objects
Designed by Justice Jersak for Blackmerle BUNKER Exhibition (2025), Seoul
Bunker Objects began as a design tangent within the Blackmerle world, originally intended as a few custom pieces for the BUNKER Exhibition. The project evolved into a fully modular furniture system, allowing us to explore our aesthetic beyond garments into space, form, and atmosphere. Each object is shaped to reflect our reduced yet severe design language, with hand-finished surfaces revealing texture, layers, and subtle tonal shifts. The pieces are precise in form, held together through slats, grooves, and gravity alone, without screws or attachments. They’re not conventional furniture but architectural objects that can function as chairs, benches, tables, shelving, and more. Every piece carries its own character while maintaining the same care and attention to detail that guides our approach to clothing.
Across the second floor of the exhibition, each room explored different facets of the system, ending with Room 18/20, “DEN”, which served as the final threshold of the exhibition, a secluded pocket deep within the space intended for quiet exchange. The room featured a range of Bunker Objects arranged as adaptable conversational seating in a J-shaped formation. Fractured walls revealed a unique vantage point of the second floor, connecting previously isolated installations, and the room included a screening of BUNKER (Prelude), “Man Without Home.” DEN was designed as the final space for reflection and conversation, and visitors naturally spent extended time within the room, inhabiting the objects and engaging with each other as intended.
