This week as we countdown to THE GILDED OWL gallery opening on Saturday night we will preview some of the artists and designers work kicking off our inaugural show! First up is the collaboration between APPARATUS STUDIOS + CINNAMON PROJECTS.  APPARATUS STUDIOS’ Gabriel Hendifar and Jeremy Anderson created the stunning spun cast and machined satin brass CENSER to be a multifunction incense and candle diffuser.  The design of this modern chalice may look simple with it’s delicate glowing porcelain dome when used with a candle but when removed the vessel can be used in a multitude of other ways. The detail of the incense burner inside is so beautifully crafted and can be removed to hold a votive candle or store personal treasures.

Andrew Cinnamon and Charlie Stackhouse of CINNAMON PROJECTS masterfully created six different incense sticks to “evoke the hours of a most inspired day”. 11 AM combines ginger, neroli, oud, tonka and violet……while at the other end of the spectrum 2 AM features notes of amber, cedar, cinnamon, honey and vetiver. All six incense fragrance compositions are sensational but the packaging alone is so beautiful we want all of them!

CINNAMON PROJECTS have also created two other burner options. CIRCA combines two solid brass geometric forms that can be combined in multiple ways while LINEA makes a fantastic travel companion.
