Incense Bowl

In Asia, incense burners have carried an honest name. 香爐, or its direct translation, incense bowls. Our bowls too share this foundational characteristic. A practice towards singularity, which is built on: function, process, and poetry.

Fits most incense types.

Bowl-like shape catches ashes.

function

The Incense Bowl is a unibody vessel designed for incense. Its sole function is imprinted into the center of the bowl—three holes and a lozenge. The collective represents our logomark and supports variations in incense size.

Every piece is thrown on the wheel and finished by hand.

process

all sides water is a byproduct of our ideals towards a controlled process. This is why it is referred to as an island, inhabited by two. By nature, it is self-sustaining and limited to locality. The clay comes from near grounds. Tools are made. Imagined forms are thrown and fired at a local kiln. What remains artifacts are recorded for archive and sale.

poetry

Self-explanatory and explained by self. Consumed thoughts are set aside for the life of poetry.
