AFTERWORK INDUSTRIES has just launched its debut product with the launch of AW-03-0001-NA. It is a captivatingly designed incense holder made in collaboration with CALIPER. The new collection was co-designed by multi-disciplinary creative Or, Ran Ziri, and Enzo Avital. The incense holder is made with a focus on both style and function, with a slip-cast porcelain body complete with a smooth glazing.
The inspiration stems from industrial ceramic insulators and is made with a refined blend of materials. This includes quartz sand, caliper, aluminum, and porcelain. The textured surface and sculptural model result in a piece that is an accent to a traditional home with both function and form. It can be a seamless design piece or hold incense.
