Studio Make Light founders Minsang Cho and Sam Liu came from diverse backgrounds, and this may be key to understanding their success and popularity.

Minsang Cho graduated with an MA in Metal Craft at Seoul National University, and went on complete his MA in Product Design at the Royal College of Art in London. Sam Liu himself was trained as architect at the Architectural Association (AA) in London, and their partnership arguably epitomizes what their design is all about: connecting architecture and design fields in a spirit of creative innovation.
