ABSTRACT

Retro design is a design that evokes the nostalgia of memories in the past age style for people living in modern society. Currently, in case of Korea, people can experience retro design in various field in Korea. Following the trend of retro designs in Korea, This study research affect of North Korean design on Korean retro design. Because North Korea design is reminiscent of Korea in 1960 ~ 1970. Therefore, We studied how North Korean design affects four factors ‘contradictory coexistence’, ’value of heritage’, ’perpetually’ and ’hommage’ of retro design for Koreans. As a result of the study, North Korea design influenced the past and emotions as contradictory coexistence factor. Value of heritage factor such as history, culture and heritage have had more than average impact. The perpetually factor of nostalgia and connected generation had more than average impact, but convergent evolution had less than average impact. Finally, North Korea design is felt in 1970 ~ 1980 as hommage factor, which is the reason why the lack of printing technology, the texture of printed paper, and the calligraphy are reminiscent of the past.
