Minsang Cho | 조민상
Minsang Cho is a lighting artist who explores the relationship between space, light, and human perception.
With a background in craft, product design, and architectural lighting design, he founded MSCHO Studio in 2014 to expand the boundaries of lighting design and experiment with new possibilities.
His work treats light not merely as a functional element, but as an artistic language that conveys emotion and experience, infusing architecture, space, and human behavior with deep resonance.
Through meticulous attention to detail and creative interpretation, he investigates the physical and psychological effects of light, bringing a distinctive perspective to every stage of the process—from concept to realization.
His works have been exhibited internationally, including Paris Art Capital at Grand Palais, Milan Design Week, Berlin IFA, Las Vegas KBIS, and Light + Building Frankfurt, and he has collaborated with IKEA, LG Electronics, and SNCF, bridging the worlds of art and industry.
Minsang Cho est un artiste de la lumière qui explore la relation entre l’espace, la lumière et la perception humaine.
Fort d’une formation en artisanat, en design de produit et en conception d’éclairage architectural, il fonde MSCHO Studio en 2014 pour repousser les limites du design lumineux et expérimenter de nouvelles possibilités.
Son approche considère la lumière non pas comme un simple outil fonctionnel, mais comme un langage artistique capable de traduire des émotions et de créer des expériences sensibles. Par son travail, il insuffle à l’espace, à l’architecture et aux comportements humains une dimension poétique et introspective.
Grâce à une attention méticuleuse aux détails et à une interprétation créative, il explore les effets physiques et psychologiques de la lumière, apportant une vision singulière à chaque étape du processus — du concept à la réalisation.
Ses œuvres ont été présentées à l’international, notamment à Paris Art Capital au Grand Palais, à la Milan Design Week, à la Berlin IFA, à la Las Vegas KBIS et au Light + Building de Francfort. Il collabore également avec des marques telles qu’IKEA, LG Electronics et la SNCF, naviguant avec aisance entre art et industrie.

세심한 디테일과 창의적 해석을 통해 빛의 물리적·심리적 영향력을 탐구하며, 컨셉에서 구현까지 전 과정에 독창적인 관점을 부여합니다.
