SumHan is a slow-living art and lifestyle brand created for people who seek calm in their everyday spaces.

Our work is designed to support moments of rest, soft light in the evening, quiet writing in the morning, and gentle rituals that help the body and mind slow down.

Each piece is made with intention, using natural materials chosen for how they feel, breathe, and age over time.

 

Our Philosophy: Slow, Pure, Human

Slow Made

 

We reject fast production.

Our artisans work with patience, stretching, layering, and sun-drying each sheet of Hanji by hand.

 

This mindful process becomes part of the piece itself, infusing it with soul and stillness.

 

Chemical-Free

 

Unlike mass-produced paper, our Hanji is pure. It is safe for children, pets, and sensitive spaces. More than natural, it’s intentionally clean.

 

Crafted by Artisans

 

We work closely with Korean master artisans and calligraphers, many of whom have devoted decades to their craft.

 

Every item reflects not just refined skill, but a quiet spirit and human touch.

 

Sustainability & Social Impact

 

At SumHan, sustainability is not a trend; it’s a quiet commitment to integrity, ecology, and community.

 

Our Hanji paper is:

• Biodegradable

• Locally sourced

• Crafted with minimal energy and water

 

We aim to support independent artisans and rural craftspeople, helping keep traditional skills alive while creating pathways for economic sustainability.

Our Values at SumHan 

 

SumHan was created from a personal need for slower, more intentional living in a world that often moves too fast.

With a background in wellness and creative practice, the brand is shaped by an understanding of rest as a daily necessity, not a luxury.

SumHan exists to offer objects that make slowing down feel natural and accessible.

Every piece holds a story. Whether it’s a master artisan’s brushstroke or the texture of raw Hanji, our products carry the depth of Korean culture and craft.
