Seamless, sustainable and built to last. A material obsession that became a movement.
It began with a single idea: a floor should do more than hold weight. It should hold meaning. Senso creates seamless surfaces that soften architecture, quiet spaces, and support the life lived inside them. Senso floors are poured, not installed and  made from plants, not plastic. Sustainable since day one and have been for over 20 years. The plant-based bio resin is VOC-free, flexible, and strong enough to carry you through decades of movement. Senso did not ‘go green’ - they started there. Founded by David Bols, who spent years consumed over how spaces feel, not just how they look. Poured in the Netherlands. Installed worldwide. This is resin with soul.
