okusendō Fine Art & Design is a new space based on an old idea.

For generations, artists and art dealers have presented their works in modest spaces, their homes. Their intent - to connect people with art, to bring beauty, or function, or concept into the everyday. Over time art has turned from something to live with into something to be visited in a rarefied setting. We are changing that. Translating to a place for “selections from afar,” okusendō offers Houstonians a different way to bring art into the homes.

okusendō Fine Art & Design showcases great things, carefully selected

We are an expansive art importation and art consultation platform designed to help people find art new to them. We use our home to showcase works but we are unlike a traditional commercial gallery. We offer private services to help you identify and find beautiful and unique objects, sourced from around the world. We also offer a concierge gifting service inspired by the Japanese retail model of customer service.

okusendō Fine Art & Design has a mission beyond that of just an art gallery.

Based in a historic house, okusendō features a main floor staged like a gallery above a living space. Fine art and high-end design is presented in a setting that invites viewers to imagine these objects in their own homes. Juxtaposing the unfamiliar with the everyday demonstrates how art has a place in daily life.

okusendō Fine Art & Design is here to bring new art to you

We collaborate with partners outside of Houston to bring in “selections” that resonate with the city’s growing audience. Partnering with art dealers, galleries, and artists from our global network allows new offerings that haven’t had an entry point in Houston and allows us to expand what is locally available.
