JJJJound Transforms Its Packaging Into Artisan Lamps Crafted by Gyuhan Lee

Hypebeast02-06-2025
JJJJound's latest collaboration departs from its fashion-focused projects to present a first-of-its-kind JJJJound lamp crafted by Korean artistGyuhuan Leeusing the label's packaging materials. Aiming to maximize the role of packaging materials beyond their usual function, the design's resourceful approach explores the intersection of branding, consumer culture, and centuries-spanning handicraft.
Drawing from the grid proportions of minimalist architecture, the lamps boast a square shape and are offered in a short and a tall edition. When turned off, the lamps resemble mundane cardboard packages, but when turned on, a warm, soft glow transforms the lantern into a refined piece of collectible homeware.
Lee, known for his refined pieces made from upcycled paper materials, utilized JJJJound's paper bags and box tape for the project. With his skills rooted in traditional Eastern craftsmanship, the artist layered JJJJound's materials with Korean Hanji paper, a historic textile applied to heritage interiors. The final result is a synthesis of contemporary mass-produced components and traditional craftsmanship, much in line with JJJJound's design practice, which often involves subtle, quality-focused updates to existing designs.
In previous projects, Lee has utilized everything fromMcDonald'sHappy Meal bags,Nikeshoe boxes, andHermèsPlein Air blotting papers to create unique furniture pieces and lighting designs. His work represents a growing movement in design that adapts recognizable found and upcycled materials as components for new, imaginative objects.
The JJJJound x Gyuhuan Leee lamps are set to drop onJJJJound.comon June 5 at 12 PM EST.

ESPN's College GameDay Asks For 'Special Help' With Lee Corso

ESPN's College GameDay Asks For 'Special Help' With Lee Corso originally appeared on The Spun. As we near the end of Lee Corso's legendary run on "College GameDay" ESPN is looking for help from the show's audience as it looks to send him off the right way. The 89-year-old analyst and former coach is calling it a career next month after nearly four decades on the air previewing college football's matchups and making his iconic headgear picks. Corso suffered a stroke back in 2009 that slowed him down a bit but he didn't let it stop him from ultimately returning to the "GameDay" desk — even if his travel has been limited in recent years. It also hasn't made him any less beloved by the show's viewers or the players that he coached. "Lee is the quintessential entertainer, but he was also a remarkable coach who established lifelong connections with his players," Rece Davis said of his colleague back in April. "When GameDay went to Indiana last season, the love and emotion that poured out from his players was truly moving. It was also unsurprising," he admitted. "Every week, Lee asks about our families. He asks for specifics. He celebrates success and moments, big and small, with all of us on the set." "He's relentless in his encouragement. That's what a great coach, and friend, does," the "GameDay" host shared. "Lee has made it his life's work to bring joy to others on the field and on television. He succeeded." Now the Worldwide Leader is asking fans to share what the coach means to them by submitting a video message that could run on his very last show. "As we get ready to celebrate Lee Corso's final show on College GameDay, here is your chance to share a personal message to Coach ❤️" ESPN posted to X. "Submit your video by August 15, more information here." CFB Saturdays aren't going to feel the same without Corso. And to the network's credit, "GameDay" will not be making anymore headgear picks once Lee leaves the set. Corso's final appearance will be August 30 when the show travels to Columbus for Ohio State's Week 1 opener vs. Texas. He was also honored at this year's ESPYs where he received a tribute from Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee and the USC marching College GameDay Asks For 'Special Help' With Lee Corso first appeared on The Spun on Jul 29, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 29, 2025, where it first appeared.

Pamela Anderson is having a moment. And it's about time

Pamela Anderson appears to be having a bit of a rebirth at this point in her career. Confident enough in her own skin to start a bit of a new beauty revolution, critically acclaimed and award-nominated for her role in last year's 'The Last Showgirl' and potentially having a new love interest in her 'Naked Gun' costar Liam Neeson all have friends and fans cheering for Anderson. She and Neeson have not confirmed that they are romantically involved, but their chemistry while on the promotion tour for their new film has stirred plenty of speculation. Even fellow celebs seem invested, with 'Showgirl' costar Jamie Lee Curtis defending whatever is going on between Anderson and Neeson. 'With all due respect to pop culture, if love has found (its) way into that relationship—God bless them both—leave them the f**k alone,' Curtis told VT in a recently published clip. 'Let them like each other!' The support for Anderson is long overdue, given her treatment in the past. She first found fame after being featured on the Jumbotron screen at a 1989 football game, which eventually led to her being selected as the Playboy Playmate of the Month for February 1990 which opened doors for her to begin acting. But roles including Lisa, 'The Tool Time Girl' on the ABC sitcom 'Home Improvement' and as C.J. Parker on 'Baywatch' set the tone for her career to revolve around her physical traits and not her acting skills. The focus on her body was intensified after explicit home videos of her and her then-husband, rocker Tommy Lee, were stolen in 1995 and made into a sex tape that was sold. The story was made into an award-winning 2022 Hulu miniseries titled 'Pam & Tommy' costarring Lily James and Sebastian Stan. Promotional materials for the show featured the tagline, 'The greatest love story ever sold.' Anderson shared in her 2023 Netflix documentary, 'Pamela, a Love Story' how devastating having her and Lee's intimate moments go public was to her career and their marriage, which ended in 1998. 'If anyone watches it, if anyone buys it, if anyone sells it, it's just pathetic,' she said in the doc. 'You can't put a monetary number on the amount of pain and suffering it caused.' The Canadian-American actress was vilified for the sex tape and made the butt of many jokes. And while she found acting work here and there, her career went the way of those who are far from major stars, appearing as herself in films like 2006's 'Borat' and on reality shows including 'Dancing with the Stars.' Yet Anderson never gave up. The outspoken vegan promoted healthy eating (her cookbook 'I Love You: Recipes from the Heart' was published in 2024) and has written two novels. She also found her voice through sharing her tale of surviving childhood trauma and the pitfalls of Hollywood in her aforementioned documentary and her 2023 memoir, 'Love, Pamela.' The doc ends with Anderson's triumphant return to acting, playing Roxie Hart in the Broadway production of 'Chicago.' 'Pamela, a Love Story' not only revived the public's interest in Anderson, but also attracted the attention of filmmaker Gia Coppola, who was casting the lead in her film 'The Last Showgirl' about 'Shelly, a glamorous showgirl who must plan for her future when her show abruptly closes after a 30-year run,' according to the film's synopsis. 'I couldn't really envision who was right for the role of Shelly,' Coppola reportedly said during a post screening Q&A. 'I kind of would think of Marilyn Monroe or actors that were no longer present, no one else really felt right.' Anderson's documentary showed so many parallels between the actress and the character the director wanted to bring to life, Coppola said at the time. 'I just really wanted to collaborate with her,' she added. 'I could see her hunger to kind of express her talents in a dramatic way.' Anderson's vulnerable performance not only earned her acclaim, but also Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations along with considerable Oscar buzz. Despite that buzz, Anderson was not ultimately nominated for an Academy Award, something she seemed at peace about. 'I always say the win is in the work,' Anderson told Elle of the Oscars snub. 'I got to do something I really love, and I needed to do that for my soul.' With how happy she appears now, it's safe to say that Anderson is winning.
