The house of St. Leo — a Copenhagen mineral-paint studio founded in 2019, available exclusively in Taiwan through Atelier. Senseware.
St. Leo
St. Leo is a Danish mineral paint and plaster house founded in Copenhagen in 2019, built on natural mineral pigment and Nordic craft. Its Dolomite Plaster line was developed in collaboration with Kinfolk founder Nathan Williams and interior architect Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen of Norm Architects — ten bespoke shades were unveiled in 2019 at The Audo in Copenhagen, now part of the full 16-shade range. Lime Paint is a separate collection designed independently by Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen: 12 muted hues drawn from the coastal light of North Zealand, Denmark. Atelier. Senseware is the sole authorized distributor for Taiwan, bringing Lime Paint, Marble Paint, and Dolomite Plaster to studios, homes, and commercial interiors across Tainan, Kaohsiung, and Taipei.
Each finish is built from natural mineral pigment and stands as its own complete system, paired with its own primer (Marble Paint with a standard primer, Lime Paint with Lime Paint Undercoat on uneven substrates). Lime Paint cures by absorbing CO₂ from the air, deepening in tone over years rather than fading. Marble Paint layers oil-paint depth over a mineral base for a soft, stone-like sheen. Dolomite Plaster is roller-applied and finished with a spatula or brush for a subtle, earthy texture. VOC across all three is 1 g/L — 3% of the EU legal limit — and none are classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic, or reproductive-toxic under EU regulation.
