suna-e /sɯ.na.e/

noun, Japanese

1. Sand drawing. The ancestral art of tracing patterns in sand, as in Zen gardens.

Far more than furniture: a work of art shaped by hand.

The SUNAE table blends ancestral Japanese art with contemporary design. This concentrate of technology creates ephemeral works in the sand and brings a feeling of calm close to meditation.

Beneath the glass, a magnet guides a steel ball. Silently, it carves, erases and begins again. You choose the pattern, the light and the pace; the sand does the rest.

Behind every table are hands: those of Vincent Braillard, microengineer and founder of Sunae, and those of local craftspeople. Each piece is handcrafted and carries its own singularity.

Through the sand

01
A ball.
Beneath the glass, a magnet guides a steel ball, without a sound.
02
A groove.
It carves the sand, line after line, at the pace you choose.
03
A work of art.
The design appears, fades, begins again. Never the same twice.

The Sunae path editor on a tablet, with a stylus

Drawing software

Your designs, by your hand.

Sunae has created its own path editor. On a tablet, with a stylus or your finger, draw freely: the software turns your sketch into a path the ball can follow, and shows you how it will look in the sand before sending it to your table.

Handmade · Swiss · Local

Designed, made and assembled in Switzerland.

Entirely designed, made and assembled in Switzerland by local craftspeople, Sunae products are a guarantee of quality. Solid wood or metal rings, hand-shaped HIMACS® bowls, electronics and software: everything is conceived and built in our workshop in Gruyère.

Sunae began with an idea from Vincent Braillard, a microtechnology engineer: to create furniture you never tire of, where mechanics, electronics and software serve contemplation.
