"Capturing the Warmth of the Time"
A cozy atmosphere that provides calmness to all, wherein a delicious meal and joyous conversation deliver happiness and comfort deeper than ever before. Such memories remain in our hearts with lingering warmth and
present a long-lasting impression. The Korean restaurant "DEOKBOON" is a place filled with such warmth. Located on the first floor of Mondrian Seoul Itaewon, "DEOKBOON" is designed with a concept of a flow, composed of introduction, development, climax, conclusion, and aftertaste, and provides a special experience for every stage of
the flow. The restaurant features a changing sequence the visitors can experience depending on the various stages of the flow, from the entrance, to passing through all the stages, and to the exit.
The story of "DEOKBOON" begins at the entrance to the village. The facade composed of walls reminds you of an entrance to the village and the feeling of warm reception is delivered through the light from the ceiling that permeates beyond the tall and short walls and the object that embodies the steam of freshly cooked warm rice.
Once you pass through the walls that emanate a warm atmosphere, you come across a courtyard filled with light. This area has a warmth akin to sunlight penetrating through the leaves hanging from an old tree, shaken by the wind. A place for conducting seminars or waiting by visitors, the courtyard is designed so that the visitors can spend time having various conversations in a peaceful atmosphere. In addition, the place features a reinterpretation of the Jangdok, which was key to a Korean household food table since ancient times, constructing a Jangdokdae
unique to "DEOKBOON."
