IONO Incense Holder (2024)
The IONO Incense Holder is an elegant and minimalist design piece that seamlessly combines form and function.
The cylindrical structure of the IONO Incense Holder, reminiscent of modern architectural forms, is accentuated by carefully placed air holes, allowing the incense smoke to flow gracefully and create a captivating visual display. The use of simple geometric shapes—such as the cylindrical cover and the cylindrical base—gives it a clean, structured appearance that would fit well into any contemporary space.
The materiality of the piece adds to its modern aesthetic, featuring a soft blue cylindrical base for holding the incense stick, which contrasts beautifully with the off-white column, and a red decorative mat. The base, which holds the incense upright, includes a removable cover that simplifies the ash collection process, ensuring that the surrounding area remains neat. It balances aesthetic appeal with practical functionality, transforming the act of burning incense into a meditative experience that engages both the eyes and the mind.
Designed to be more than just an incense holder, the Pisa subtly references architectural inspirations while being a functional object of beauty for daily rituals.
