SENSU
The SENSU COLLECTION is an exquisite fusion of antiquity and modernity, drawing inspiration from the venerable legacy of Japanese Sensu folding fans. Cherished for centuries as expressions of respect, good wishes, and communication, sensu fans hold great cultural and historical importance, from their ceremonial use to their role in performing arts and tea ceremonies. The Sensu Collection pays homage to this tradition, embracing the elegance and refined aesthetics of the fans, translating them into utterly contemporary works that embody the spirit of Japanese heritage and grace
A testament to the enduring elegance and refined aesthetics inherent in the fans, each handcrafted work combines tradition with innovation in both form and in the selection of exquisite materials. Anigre Wood, renowned for its lustrous grain and warm hues, infuses the works with a sense of natural beauty and refinement. Oxidized Brass adds a touch of understated luxury and a hint of antiquity, and Nero Marquina Marble, prized for its deep black hue and striking veining, brings opulence and grandeur. The timeless elegance of Travertine Marble evokes a sense of harmony and balance, reflecting the serene beauty of Japanese landscapes. Finally, Resin lends a contemporary flair, while the supple texture of Leather Ropes serve as both functional accents and symbolic nods to the intricate craftsmanship of Japanese artisans
Through masterful interplay of these materials and ingenuity of design, the COLLECTION not only pays tribute to the cultural legacy of Sensu fans but also celebrates contemporary and heritage craftsmanship alike. The sensu collection is exclusively for studiotwentyseven
