The Korean family company
The life of building an immigrant family company in Lapland, Finland.
We are a Korean family in Finland. One of the longest continuously living Korean families in Finland — all the way from the early 80s. We are also a family of artists and have established ourselves in the Finnish Lapland for a few decades. Until now, the artwork has been limited to art exhibitions, collections and organising art symposiums. For many reasons that I’ll dwell on, the time was right to move more towards a general approach of corporation and so in late 2010s we established Hansaram, a family run business, that sells ceramic art by Suku Park (the dad), and works on all things related to art — from clay as therapy to artist residencies.
