Incestix is a minimal design created by Brooklyn-based designers Avandi. Inspired by the work of Constantin Brancusi, the Incestix occupies your space like a sculpture. A solid brass base holds a delicate tray, which collects your incense ashes. The base is turned in Wyoming, the tray is spun in Bell Gardens, and the product is finished and assembled in Brooklyn. Raw brass will naturally turn over time. If you prefer a bright finish, use a brass polish, available at most hardware stores.

Handy Scraper is a minimal design created by Rhode Island-based designer Christopher Specce. The Shakers equated order, cleanliness, and neatness with the divine, and the chores required to achieve those ideals had the capacity for worship. Communal life and the specialization of labor enabled the Shakers to design and produce objects that were uncommon in their specificity of purpose and quality of manufacture. The designer was drawn to the devotional craft the Shakers invested in the things they made and their ritualization of the tasks of daily life. He tried to create a similar, albeit somewhat absurd elevation of the mundane, juxtaposing those spiritual aspirations with the kind of souvenir interpretation that exists in a gift-shop’s-view of this rich and idiosyncratic culture.

Experimenta is a minimal vase collection created by Hamburg-based designer Giuseppe Bessero Belti. Experimenta transforms the flame into flower, and fuel into water, reinterpreting old oil lamps and changing them into different kinds of vases. Each vase comprises a cylindrical container, made using the glass from oil lamps, along with a plastic ring and a series of adapters that allow it to be fixed to the container, making it more stable. Currently, there are two families of vases in production. The designer created a series using a classic craft technique, the moulded porcelain, and another using a contemporary approach that involves rapid prototyping technologies.
