Sustainable Design Intern

G​rape Lab is a sustainable design studio based in Seoul, reimagining everyday life through creativity, minimal materials, and inclusive values. We design products made from recycled or discarded resources, creating high-function, low-impact solutions such as paper laptop stands, book stands, and eco-friendly lifestyle products.

Our design philosophy, “Minus & Plus,” minimizes material use (Minus) while maximizing social value (Plus) by employing and collaborating with people with developmental disabilities and supporting their artistic work.

The intern will support product development, concept ideation, and visual communication within Grape La​b's sustainable design projects. Tasks include researching materials, developing structural paper prototypes, assisting with product sketches, preparing graphic assets for social media or packaging, supporting inclusive co-working sessions with developmentally disabled artists, and participating in design reviews.

You will gain hands-on experience in sustainable design methods, learn our folding ans structural system, and contribute to real products that will be released to the market.

This internship is highly practical, collaborative, and idea driven ideal for students who want to see their creative work become meaningful, tangible outcomes.
