Sander Nevejans founded Sane in 2019 to express a newly formed perspective on his work/life balance when ‘working, not living’ in Japan and the influence of functional design on mental well-being. Sane is a creative studio specialising in space-saving furniture and collectible design. The primary emphasis of the studio lies in self-initiated furniture and product design, and commissioned projects.
