sneak peek #7

incense burner, a little cottage
We're getting really close. I've got just a few more products to photograph today. B has been implementing the shopping cart functions for the pat few days and getting the design closer to how we want it. We still need to set our shipping rates and fill in the about and info pages. Leaving only about a week to design the actual site was cutting it a little close. Note to self.

So here's something I'm way in love with- the Cottage Incense Pot from Japan's PULL + PUSH products. Young designer Nobuhiro Sato uses materials traditionally used in building construction- mortar, glass and steel, to create his little abodes. Also in his collection are planters and ash trays. He is fascinated by the way materials age in the world and he replicates this process in his house-inspired designs. As the products are used the smoke, ash, water and dirt age the pieces, giving them a beautiful, mellowed look.

The cottage burner uses cone or brick incense and the smoke rises out of the chimney. I am currently looking for incense that I will make available in the shop.
