RENSE is a Dutch design brand founded in 2020 by designer Rense van Slageren. The Brand creates timeless furniture and objects from durable, high-quality materials, all made in Europe. With a clear focus on simplicity and character, RENSE offers an alternative to fast, trend-driven design.
The brand was born from a desire to design pieces that feel both personal and precise, bridging the warmth of local craft with the possibilities of modern production. Each product is crafted to last, both in form and feel, with a quiet yet distinctive presence that adds meaning to the spaces we inhabit.
Passe-Partout
The Passe-Partout lamp by RENSE is a study in simplicity, designed to blend quietly into a space while telling its own story. Made locally in the Netherlands from high-quality stainless steel, its sculptural form feels both minimal and warm, precise in its lines, yet soft in its presence. The lamp is a hand-brushed finish for a refined matte texture. Crafted to interact subtly with its surroundings.
KAMI
With KAMI, function and sculpture meet in a single folded form. It’s a study in geometry, craftsmanship, and the quiet beauty of everyday objects. Rense draws inspiration from the ancient Japanese art of origami. In KAMI, the delicate paper folds of origami are translated into stainless steel, a material chosen for its strength, durability, and timeless character. The result is a piece that feels almost alive. Light glides across its facets, shifting from highlights to shadows.
