Hangeul— Letters to Write, Souvenirs to Keep

Dancheong Mechanical Wired KeyboardThis keyboard draws inspiration from dancheong, the traditional art of painting colorful patterns on wooden architecture in Korea. Winner of the Bronze Prize at the 2024 Korea Tourist Souvenir Contest, it showcases vivid hues and intricate designs reminiscent of those seen in royal palaces and Buddhist temples. The space bar features a dancheong motif from the main beam of Yangcheonsa Daeungjeon Hall, preserved at the National Folk Museum of Korea, while the keycaps are engraved with Korean calligraphy, adding a distinctive cultural flair.

Hangeul “Bok” MagnetShaped like the Hangeul letter “복 (bok)”, this gold-toned magnet embodies the Korean wish for happiness and prosperity. Its shimmering finish brings a cheerful touch to any surface—from the fridge to the front door. Light and travel-friendly, it slips easily into your luggage and makes a meaningful gift for family and friends.

Hangeul Teacup SetThis porcelain teacup set is inspired by Hangeul, with consonant letters embossed on the cup and saucer to add a sense of dimension. The forms of the consonants—modeled after speech organs—express the design principle behind Hangeul’s creation. Available in white porcelain or celadon, the set comes in a wooden box with an English guide explaining the meaning and use of Hangeul

Hangeul Day BadgeThis metal badge recreates the Hangeul script featured on the 1946 stamp commemorating the 500th anniversary of Hangeul’s proclamation. Over the centuries, Hangeul has taken on slightly different forms—like the diagonal stroke in “ㅋ” or the older shape of “ㅌ”—inviting a playful comparison with today’s letters. Measuring 2.5 cm square, the badge makes a charming accent on bags, hats, and other accessories.

Kalphabets (Hangeul Cookies)) : Hangeul-shaped cookies created by American TV personality Tyler Rasch and Indian entrepreneur Nidhi Agrawal started with a simple question: “There are alphabet cookies in Korea, so why not Hangeul cookies?” The answer came with their launch on Hangeul Day in 2023. The chocolate flavor stands out with its rich taste and crisp texture, pairing perfectly with milk. The garlic flavor will return in November. Made entirely from plant-based ingredients, these cookies also make a great gift to share across cultures.
