About Us

The beginnings

Design. It’s a big word with a mixed reputation.

Too often associated with luxury; the bespoke; and only available to the affluent.

But at Arsene, we believe to design is to give form; to give function. Ultimately, to design is to solve a problem – and we’re pretty sure everybody’s got one.

Many have highlighted this inequality, and plenty have even attempted to rectify it.

However, in the quest of providing design to everyone, some have resorted to the unethical – fast imitation and little consideration, for the sake of short term gain.

In a world of replica chairs and counterfeit coffee tables, we set our sights on something different.

Our aim is to create good design for everyone.

The ethos

Arsene is an independent design brand, born from the love of good, accessible design.

Instead of creating fine, intricate objects that only the 1% can afford, we find satisfaction in creating carefully considered pieces that cater to the most.

We create objects that align with our design principles – products that don’t shout, but rather harmonise well with its surroundings.

Authentic, functional, unobtrusive designs.

Well thoughtfulness, for the masses.
