Cut Shapes 02
By Mentsen
Cut Shapes 02 by London based design studio Mentsen highlights the beauty of left-over timber textures from the studio's three dimensional practice. Created first through Japanese woodcut printing of the natural grain structure, shapes and forms are then cut out to create balanced compositions that reference the studio's Offcut Mobiles - sculptural works crafted from left-over wood.
Mentsen (JP)
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 handmade objects and flat works.
