Seoul-born and Barcelona-based designer Lee Jang Sub exhibited the most recent incarnations of his Complex City Project at Tent London. Zoetropes and wall sconces laser-cut with reinterpreted wall graphics based on maps of some of the world's major metropolises.

Explaining his concept, the designer says:

This project is an exploration to find a concealed aesthetic by using the pattern formed by the roads of the city which have been growing and evolving randomly through time, thus composing the complex configuration we experience today. I perceive the city's patterns as living creatures that I recompose to form an urban image.
