It’s hot right now
In the October issue, David Dick-Agnew and Catherine Osborne of Azure Magazine write that, in modern consumption, (...) "the emphasis has moved toward a considered approach, where longevity and sustainability matter more than ever".
This resonates a lot with my design approach, and I'm thrilled that the INCENSTIX was included in their article!
Incenstix is a sculptural incense holder
that is both poetic and straightforward. It debuted at Sight Unseen Offsite last May, as part of the REFLECT series, curated by the collective Join Design.
Seamlessly blending technology and craft
the Incenstix playfully combines two similar but distinctive techniques, creating multiple contrasts with a single material. The base is turned from two solid brass rods, while a thin brass disc was spun to create the tray.
The three components connect to create a carefully balanced piece that elegantly holds a single incense stick. The angular verticality of the piece complements its delicate circularity, and were inspired by the work of sculptor Constantin Brancusi.
