Contemporary Ritual Setups

Shrines by Dean Brown Welcome the Placement of Your Sacred Possessions

Inspired by personal or familial religious shrines that can be found around the world, these contemporary Shrines by Dean Brown, Callum Brown and Namyoung An have been designed to appeal to anyone of any belief, including atheists. They invite you to arrange several small items upon their surfaces -- perhaps the doodads that you find you use most often.

Developed to take on the appearances of a miniature desk or shelf, a cabinet, a dressing room and the corner of a room, these retro painted objects allow for the convenient setup of the tools for your morning ritual, for instance. The little ledges, the tiny tables, the bespoke blown glass lightbulbs and the mirror make these Shrines ideal places to store and apply your makeup, or to stash your phone, wallet and keys at the front door.
