As further proof of the versatility of Gwenael Nicolas’ 2008 design, Sen crosses the boundaries of a new product category with the debut of a new adjustable wall light that is small and modular to the rest of the series.

The light source is LED, strictly 3.000K as for the rest of the Agape range, and is powered by 220V and therefore does not require the installation of transformers. The Sen lamp is available in all catalogue finishes of the series..

The 2022 sees the debut of the wall-mounted swivel shower head and the two-way thermostatic mixer unit with hand shower - both available, like the rest of the series, in the new matte white finish.

how Sen came into being.
In the best Japanese tradition, the packaging was clearly part of the project. The package just arrived from Tokyo showed care and perfection in every detail, as well as the precious, 1:1 scale, prototypes it contained. We are in 2007 and no one can yet predict the success that this project, carried out with the care reserved only for things you do for yourself. The Sen series was in fact designed by Gwenael Nicolas for his private residence in Tokyo. The specificity and precision of the spatial situation that would have welcomed the objects, have generated a project with a universal power and an iconic charge that has preceded the times and, over the years, has given rise to a long series of flattering imitations.

Today, fifteen years after the arrival of that package, the series includes 39 articles that cross 4 product categories while preserving its strong and unmistakable personality.
