“Pu-re" is a pure Korean word that expresses the bluish and subtle colors of the Pu-re Onggi. Pu-re Onggi has been widely used for storing grain and water since ancient times because of its excellent waterproof and purification capabilities. Auroi's Pu-re onggi product is made in harmony with the Chunil salts, charcoal and occasional air in a traditional kiln at temperatures of over 1,300 degrees.
Product design
「 Teaware with simple lines 」
The Pu-re Onggi, which was made from a joint venture between craftsmen and nature for a long time, was not only used in large quantities of salt, one of the state-controlled items at the time, but was also used in the royal court in recognition of its excellence during the production process. Auroi's Pu-re onggi brought back the meaning of nobility expressed in its signature dark blue light on the table of modern people.
“ Teapot & Cup”
Teaware
The change in asymmetrical shape and thickness of the Pu-re onggi teapot & cup gives a sense of the freedom and warmth of the onggi maker. The gentle slope of the teapot & cup harmonizes. Also, the Pu-re onggi can be preserved fresh for a long time because of the preservative caused by the sun salt used in the production process. It is environmentally friendly because it does not use artificial glaze during the production process. Charcoal, which adds black light to the teapot & cup, has the function of purification, purification and deodorization to remove impurities as well as to help prevent the smell from mixing with other foods. The dark blue onggi, made of soil, salt, charcoal and wind, shows what nature has. The food, combined with the Pu-re onggi, conveys a natural freshness.
“ Teapot & cup”
Teaware
The harmony between straight lines and curves, and the artist's neat and sophisticated skills stand out. The small round tea set has a rounded body and handle shape that resembles the number 8, meaning continuation and repetition. Originally, the number "8" refers to the harmony between the bok and balance of yin and yang. The combination of straight and smooth curves represents a balance of yin and yang. The unity and small changes shown in the tea set is stand out.
“ Bottle & cup”
Teaware
The angled bottle set applied the same method to the bottle and the cup by saving the angle of the surface. The angle adds tactile and visual elements. The unorthodox form of hand-tasting feels more valuable.

The handle of a large round tea set has a connection that seems to be connected to a spout in the form of a round. The straight body and the round handle have a contrast, and the cup also had the same design method as the teapot's body.
“ Cup Series”
Teaware
The Big round cup is a series of cups featuring harmony between the body and the handle of a round. The same handle as the basic shape (square, triangle, circular) of the body was applied. The handle is as sophisticated as if it were not manual.
“ Teapot & Warmer”
Teaware
The low teapot and warmer gives a warm and warm feeling in a round form as a whole. The simple straight element of spout adds a balance to the tapot and warmers of curved feel. The shape was designed by considering the aesthetic sense of proportion to the handle and body of the teapot and the shape combined the teapot with warmer.
“ Teapot & Warmer”
Teaware
In the free transition of straight lines and curves, it stands out for the delicacy of the artist. The various shapes shown in the teapot are not complicated or noisy. It was made in consideration of the sense of shape when it became one with warmer.
“ Coffee Dripper”
Teaware
A round mug and a dripper on it combine to form one shape. The small changing elements of the mug enhance its aesthetic appeal. We designed the form of amusement dripper to feel the onggi's ruggedness.
