This concrete Lodge object is an incense burner made of mortar. It's a truly playful motif of the idyllic shelter upon a mountain top. This delightful object features a sweet set of stairs with tiny front windows embedded with glass, the door and back window with wire for air flow.

As you place the incense inside the Lodge, the smoke will slowly flow out of the chimney. So simkple expression of the eaves are all careful details that make these objects so beautiful.

You can use your favourite incense cones from your usual supplier or you can choose from our range here.

MATERIALS Mortal (main body), glass, stainless mesh, brass (chimney)

DIMENSIONS W85 × D80 × H95 mm

ORIGIN Japan

Handcrafted in batches by Nobuhiro Sato and his small team in Kyoto, each piece is made one-by-one by pouring mortar that's commonly used in building materials into a wooden mold. Expect colour uneveness due to the impression of wood grain that comes from each mold, creating a warm and simple texture.

"Burn incense and cover it with this house-shaped cover, watch the smoke rise from the chimney. Looking at the slowly swaying smoke of incense, I feel that time is slowly flowing. At the end of the day or on a holiday in your room, why not spend a relaxing time burning your favourite incense... and when you don't burn incense, you may enjoy decorating it like a cityscape with small items."
