Lotus

Dimensions (mm): 550H x 150D
Materials: Walnut, brass, leather

The ‘Lotus’ incense holder is a new sculptural collaboration between Kalu and Manner.
The idea for the piece came about from an encounter with a vintage floor-standing ashtray. With smoking indoors becoming less acceptable over the years, this seemingly outdated typology presents an opportunity to craft a new narrative centred around themes of wellness and ceremony.
The design of the piece uses a simple carving technique to evoke the form of a dried Lotus pod, a symbolic association in many cultures with purity and enlightenment. The top section is detachable so it can be used in a traditional table top manner, as well as for the cleaning of ash.
