Mentsen is a partnership between Japanese designers Yasuyuki Sakurai and Risa Sano, and a London based practice founded in 2011 working somewhere between craft and industrial design. The studio name, meaning ‘lines and surfaces’ in Japanese, references the studio’s work in different mediums and scales; from furniture and product design to one-off hand made objects and flat works.

Mentsen searches for efficiency and elegance in their designs and the objects, while being resourceful with a hint of humour. Alongside the design projects for commercial and cultural clients, the duo divide their time for bespoke manufacturing at their own workshop, and collaborate with architects and interior designers or directly with private commissioners to deliver unique one off pieces of furniture made in London.
