Incense smoke has a powerful effect due to the combination of its physical aroma, psychological relaxation, symbolic meaning and sensory immersion. This makes it an essential tool for creating a deeper and more meaningful ambiance.
All our incense holders are designed not only to serve their primary function but also as objects for contemplation — this is an integral part of our creation process and invention of new forms.
Hebi, the Japanese word for serpent, is an allusion to it’s snakelike shape, which comes originally from a found lave stone object. With its irregular wave like character the Hebi incense holder also manifests the dynamic forces within solidified matter.
The zodiac of the serpent represents in the Japanese and Chinese tradition wisdom, intuition, transformation, and mystery. The snake’s ability to shed its skin also represents renewal and personal transformation, making it a powerful symbol of spiritual and life changes.
