Mentsen
Mentsen is a partnership between Japanese designers Yasuyuki Sakurai and Risa Sano, and a London based practice founded in 2011 working somewhere between industrial design and craft. The studio name, meaning ‘lines and surfaces’ in Japanese, references the studio’s work in different mediums and scales.
Mentsen searches for efficiency and elegance in their designs and the objects, while being resourceful with a hint of humour. Making often gives an additional layer to their design process, aiding them to understand materials, constructions and production processes.
