On our way out, we passed by this building with some really quirky chairs on display. It's in the map at the bottom of this page that says Kolon Building. Looking from the window, it looked like it was some sort of exhibit so we decided to go in and check it out. It turns out the building is the Fashion Institute of Kolon and the chairs are part of the Re-design Chair Graduate Exhibition.
