INTERNATIONAL DESIGN LABORATORY OF PREMIUM OBJECTS
ENSO DESIGN LAB
is an international design laboratory
based in Dubai.
We develop holistic design concepts
with deep cultural context
and create collections
of premium accessories
and interior objects for both
private and
corporate clients.
Our work brings together philosophy,
architectural minimalism,
and craftsmanship rooted
in natural materials.
Ensō (Japanese: 円相, “circular form”)
is a symbol in Zen Buddhism,
drawn in a single brushstroke.
It embodies the ideas of enlightenment,
emptiness, spontaneity,
and the state of “no-mind” (無心, mushin).
The circle is never truly complete —
it invites presence and openness.
PHILOSOPHY
ANI HAN
DESIGNER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF ENSO DESIGN LAB
“
Enso, to me, is not a brand —
it’s a way of breathing deeper.
We don’t create objects
for the sake of novelty;
we give form to what already exists:
silence, a trace, a pause.
I look for
contours shaped by nature itself —
a drop, a shadow on the wall, a stone.
In them, there is simplicity and truth.
We don’t invent form,
we listen to its resonance.
”
“
EACH
ENSO OBJECT must not only function —
it must respond on a deeper level:
in the hand, in the space, within.
What matters to us is being genuine —
in materials, in detail, in meaning.
”
