MOOD SWING
A series of kinetic incense burners that move in different directions, intended to spread incense throughout a space and reduce stress.
Mood Swing features three different incense burners. One is sintered in aluminium and suspended from the ceiling via a set of leather straps, which allows it to swing through the air. The remaining two are stoneware ceramics and move through different methods. The first is mounted on a steel stand, which allows the incense burner to rock back and forth, while the second is freestanding, intended to roll and tilt, but never fall over thanks to the weight in the bottom.
The Mood Swing incense burners were designed in response to increasing stress levels in the UK and the teardrop form pays homage to a long design history of censers from across the globe. The design emphasises how these traditional objects can remain relevant within the context of today’s increasingly frenetic world, which often does not recognise the importance of stillness.
