Sen
Made by Agape
Designed by Gwenael Nicolas
Sen is the Japanese word for "line," and that single idea governs everything about this collection. Designed by Gwenael Nicolas, founder of Tokyo-based studio Curiosity, the Sen faucet is the product of a decade of cross-cultural practice, translated into a form of deliberate, quiet authority.
Nicolas approaches the bathroom as an architect approaches a building. Every component belongs to a coherent system, and no element exists in isolation. The Sen faucet is conceived as one piece within a larger vocabulary that includes taps, shower heads, accessories, heating elements, and lighting, all sharing the same material logic and proportional sensibility.
- Black brushed aluminum finish
- Clean geometric silhouette with deliberate weight
- Designed as part of a freely combinable, fully unified collection
- Part of Agape's broader commitment to the bathroom as a complete architectural environment
The result is a faucet that does not announce itself. It simply belongs, precisely and without excess, to the space around it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who designed the Agape Sen faucet?
The Sen collection was designed by Gwenael Nicolas, the French-born designer and founder of Tokyo-based studio Curiosity. His practice is rooted in cross-cultural dialogue between European modernism and Japanese spatial philosophy, and Sen reflects both influences in its restrained geometry and material precision.
What does 'Sen' mean and why is it relevant to the design?
Sen is the Japanese word for 'line.' Nicolas chose it as both a name and a governing concept, the collection is defined by linear geometry, clean proportion, and a reduction of form to its essential idea. The name is not decorative; it is a description of the design method.
What finish is the Sen faucet available in?
The Sen faucet is offered in black brushed aluminum, a finish that reads as both architectural and tactile. The material choice reinforces the collection's precise, restrained character and ages with a consistent patina.
Can the Sen faucet be combined with other Agape Sen pieces?
Yes. The Sen collection is conceived as a complete bathroom system, including taps, shower heads, accessories, heating elements, and lights. All pieces share the same proportional sensibility and material logic, so they can be freely combined into a composition that reads as unified.
What is Agape's design philosophy for bathroom collections?
Agape approaches the bathroom as an architectural environment rather than a functional utility space. Their collections are developed in close collaboration with internationally recognized designers, with the intention that each piece forms part of a considered, coherent whole rather than standing alone.
