Lisen is a metalwork studio that produces tableware, decorative objects, jewelry, and other products made of aluminum. Lisen's proprietary technique for dyeing metal with natural dyes achieves products that can't be found elsewhere else. The use of aluminum, which is lightweight and easy to handle, enables us to offer a wide range of household objects suitable for everyday use. Their beauty and technical uniqueness have made our products available at department stores and boutiques throughout Japan.
The products made by Lisen seek to bring the sensation of being surrounded by nature into the home. They aim to capture the brief moments of ever-changing nature—light, wind, water, and time—for displays that add color to everyday living. Our studio is located between the Asahi mountain range and one of its foothill villages, where nature's blessings are abundant. Each product is made with the utmost care and attention so as to successfully embody and express the inspiration we receive from the changing seasons, and the countless stars adorning the night sky. Aluminum products are easier to incorporate into everyday living because they require less maintenance than many other metals. We hope customers will find their own unique styles of enjoying our household products, which embody nature's vitality in their highly original shapes and exquisite colors.
