Hometown: CANTON
Based in: LONDON
Originated from “healthy” in Latin at the early 17th century, SANE refers to the status where the mind and body are extremely calm and relaxed as work anxiety and social stress are removed to find the inner self and listen to the inner voice, explore freedom of spirit to seek for peace of mind for the contemporary.
SANE is not only the abbreviation of the name of two founders of the brand, but also the philosophy of healthy life to be promoted by the brand. Integrating diverse background in Europe where two founders devoted themselves to art, SANE is deeply influenced by art history and value in Europe in its design, and makes well-designed handmade ceramic containers based on primitive and uninhibited vitality of the African continent.
Plain mud ceramics fired at high temperature are perfect for free soul. We offer our handmade series ceramic containers to shut out distraction for your peace of mind, and free the mind that want to escape from daily routine. Authentically handmade from 100% natural sand glaze with thousand times of tests from glazing to firing, the perfect expression form of SANE was found: a warm and flowing state generated from the mud. Keeping all the accidental defects in the process of production, we endowed the pottery with more unique temperament and temperature, making it unparalleled.
SANE also focuses on feminism. Inspired by contemporary female artists, we discover their unique qualities of tenacity and courage, infuse this "her" power into our designs and spread it around the world.
" Sane is about slowing down, reading a book, arranging a bouquet of flowers, taking life seriously and finding yourself."
What inspires you?
Contemporary aesthetic, simple and highly iconic. Aesthetic formation is a long-term process of cultivation and accumulation. We are fortunate to have grown up and learned in London at the age when it is most easily absorbed.
Describe your creative process.
We inspired by the curiosity about the African world; the female image described by the novelist Karen Bilxen; and the stories of self-growth and self-redemption during the journey. Hence, we choose red clay with a heavier feeling as the raw material for the embryo body, because red clay represents the blood, raw and rough vitality of the African land.we prefer to use free and handmade works to reflect the temperature of our products, and the authenticity and relaxation that unique touch can bring.
