Sunao, a Japanese word meaning honesty, embodies the quiet beauty of simplicity. Its design echoes the timeless elegance of a classic vase, distilled to its purest form. With variations in size and shape, Sunao finds its place effortlessly, from a delicate accent in the kitchen to the commanding presence of a dining table centrepiece.
The collection unfolds in two surface and material expressions. The first is ceramic with a smooth finish, offering a refined clarity that complements interiors defined by calm and balance. The second is the Beehive texture, a living dialogue with nature. Cast from shellfish found along the shoreline, its organic surface invites touch and celebrates the raw poetry of the natural world.
Each vase is hand-glazed to achieve a soft, matte finish that carries subtle, one-of-a-kind variations, hallmarks of true craftsmanship. Inside, a waterproof glaze ensures functionality, allowing fresh flowers to harmonise with its sculptural form.

Fiber Concrete
Inspired by the Brutalism Architecture movement of the mid-20th century, fiber concrete has become the signature material of the 101 Copenhagen furniture collection. Emphasizing sculptural shapes, the texture of concrete creates a fine balance between sharp architectural lines and soft organic curves. Cast in lightweight fiber concrete, each product gets a unique tactile surface with small incorrections and nuances. The surface is afterwards coated, to create a strong and resistance product. Finally, the product is hand painted two times by brush, to create a brushed layered colour.
It is advised to avoid sharp objects as they can harm the surface of the product. The product cannot stand in extreme high temperature and sunlight for several months. High humidity levels can also cause the product to absorb moisture, causing it to become soft and fragile. When exposed to extreme heat or cold, the product may expand or contract excessively, causing it to break or become damaged.
If the products are used outdoor, we strongly advise in the winter season to use a waterproof cover to cover the product or take the product into indoor storage.
Maintenance:
For daily cleaning, a dry or wet cloth can be used to remove dust or dirt. However, cleaning products containing acid should not be used as they may harm the surface of the product.
