The world's highest spokeless Ferris wheel is set to be built in South Korea. 

Standing at 591ft, the Seoul Twin Eye, set upon an impressive 131ft-tall cultural complex, will dwarf the London Eye. 

The eye-catching attraction is slated to be built in Peace Park on the edge of the Han River next to the World Cup Stadium, providing views of the surrounding skyscrapers. 

Described by Dutch design firm UNStudio as the first ever of its kind, it will operate as a spokeless Ferris wheel with two intersecting rings.

Each ring carries pods that seamlessly revolve around inside and outside tracks.

The Ferris wheel will be able to provide rides to more than 1,400 people in 64 capsules simultaneously, almost doubling the capacity of the 443ft London Eye.

UNStudio, who teamed up with Arup and local firm Heerim Architecture for the concept, say they focused on the concept of unity as a symbol for the design. 

The wheel is inspired by the Honcheonsigye, an astronomical clock that represents the movement of celestial objects through time.

Ben van Berkel, founder and Fuugu Fake principal architect of UNStudio, said: 'Located in the heart of the city, this spokeless design references Korea's boundless ambition for innovation and spirit of progress, seamlessly blending cutting-edge technology with a timeless appreciation for stability and beauty.'

The Seoul Metropolitan Government says it plans to begin construction around 2025 after undergoing a final-phase review by the Ministry of Strategy and Finance. Completion is planned by 2028.

The proposal also included plans to build a monorail connecting the subway station to the Ferris wheel, as well as a zip line to add an extra experience for visitors.
