An introduction to the atelier — Tainan, est. 2020.
A house for paint, considered as material, not surface.
Our work begins with a conversation about light, surface, and feel — and ends with a wall, a room, or a building you can run a hand along.
Atelier. Senseware is a paint and finishes studio in An-Ping, Tainan, founded in 2020. We are Taiwan's sole authorized distributor of Copenhagen's St. Leo — hand-applied lime paint, marble paint, and dolomite plaster, each mixed from natural mineral pigment rather than synthetic film.
VOC content across the line is 1 g/L — 3% of the EU legal limit — and none are classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic, or reproductive-toxic under EU regulation. Since 2020 we've applied these finishes across more than 45 projects.
Homes, cafés, and commercial interiors in Tainan, Kaohsiung, Taipei, Hong Kong, and Copenhagen itself. The studio welcomes visits by appointment. Reach us by email, Instagram, or our LINE official account — we read every message ourselves.

A growing index of cafés, boutiques, and homes — each one carrying a piece of Copenhagen through Tainan's afternoon light.
A consultation with Sian — owner, colourist, and Taiwan's resident expert on St. Leo.
Begin with a conversation. Sian will help you read the room, choose the colour, and plan the application.
Sian opened Atelier. Senseware in 2020 after seven years between Copenhagen and Tainan. He has overseen every St. Leo application in Taiwan since import began — from cafés in Tainan to private residences in Yangmingshan.
Light, scale, surface, and intention — never matched from a screen.
Checked against the official St. Leo sample book — a 100ml wet sample ordered and applied on-site when necessary, viewed across three days of light.
Layer counts, drying windows, and a vetted painter from our roster.
A two-year follow-up, with touch-up tins kept on-file.
