6:AM Glassworks is a design brand based in Milan and it has just created the Palo Santo Burner using a special natural cooling process of cast glass. Every single piece is unique to its own as it is shaped with heat and the core retains more heat than the surface does.
This means that it will contract and organically create the cavity which holds the Palo Santo stick as it burns. The burner is carefully cut from a taller cast cylinder and the rest of the material is used for other creations to reduce waste. It is designed to hold a single stick and the burner can notably hold various types of incense which makes it versatile and accessible.
