Insights from Ani Han

Ani emphasized the importance of objects that slow perception and create space for attention. In her view, design should not shout but resonate — leaving a sensory imprint through tactility and ritual rather than volume.

Form as Cultural Code

Harrods Hive situates Enso Design Lab within a broader cultural conversation on contemporary luxury. The principles shared by Ani reflect the brand's ethos: distilled lines, meditative textures, limited editions, and a deep respect for time.
