(Reuters) - For South Korean artist Ryu Jong-dae, it's important that his works not only push the envelope of modern design, but also explore environmentally friendly choices.

The 40-year-old artist is known for his wooden concept furniture pieces, but in recent years has also turned to a cornstarch-based bioplastic in a bid to reduce plastic waste in the process of making his artworks.
