Incense Stand Sabi2022
The word "sabi," derived from the Japanese aesthetic notion of Wabi-Sabi, means "beauty through imperfection." It emphasises all things' transience and imperfection.

Sabi retains the roughness of bent aluminum, with unprocessed scratches on its surface, conveying simplicity and austerity.

Sabi's top aluminium layer is detachable and should be attached during use. This allows the top sheet to trap smoke from burning incense, gradually producing a scene of fading smoke during the incense's final minutes of burn. The seeping smoke softly represents Wabi-Sabi's primary theme of impermanence.

Material - Aluminum-magnesium alloy
Dimensions - 21 x 5 x 7cm
