Everyday objects made from reused materials are being introduced at Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP). According to the Seoul Upcycling Plaza's official announcement, the 'K-UP: RE: MADE IN SEOUL' pop-up runs from Monday, October 26 through Sunday, November 15, 2026, daily 10:00–22:00 at the DDP Design Store Lounge on Level 1 of the Art Hall. Entry to the pop-up is free.
Thirteen current and former resident companies of Seoul Upcycling Plaza are taking part, presenting lifestyle products that give discarded resources new value through design. The exhibition-and-retail format lets visitors consider how materials are transformed into usable goods. The operator does not supply a complete list of in-stock brands, individual products or prices, so visitors should not assume a particular item will be available.
Free entry does not mean the products are free: individual purchases are paid, with prices and quantities set by the vendors. No guaranteed workshop schedule, payment method or real-time stock information is provided by the notice.
The location is important. This is the DDP Art Hall in Jung-gu, not the main Seoul Upcycling Plaza building in Seongdong-gu. That latter building has separately announced a temporary closure of its first-floor exhibition space from October 26 to November 1, but that does not mean the DDP pop-up is closed. For event questions, the organiser lists Seoul Design Foundation's Upcycle Design Team on 02-2153-0431.
