Zense

by Louis Wai Yin Hung for Iterative Studio

Zense is a transformative table that merges traditional Chinese craftsmanship with contemporary functionality.

The piece is hand-crafted, pursuing unprecedented wood thinness through masterful artisan techniques, relying on traditional wooden joinery techniques alone, without any metal components.
