What is the difference in shape between the inkstone incense holder and the 립 인센스 홀더?
The user is in a situation where they want to compare how the designs of the two holders differ within the same collaboration lineup and choose a shape that suits their space.
While the inkstone incense holder neatly reproduces the morphological outline of an inkstone, the 립 인센스 홀더 brings out a kiss mark with volume, emphasizing three-dimensional curves.
One is a refined flat surface, and the other is a plumply raised three-dimensional form. GLOSOME collaborated with the architect group LAB.CRETE to introduce two incense holders with different forms[1][2]. Although crafted by the same studio, the way they catch the eye in everyday life is completely different.
The 제스모나이트 벼루 인센스 홀더 captures the elegant outline of the traditional scholar's inkstone used for grinding ink onto a flat surface. Using Jesmonite, an eco-friendly material, it brings out the solid and calm texture of stone, and the spacious bottom surface stably supports incense[3]. On the other hand, the 립 인센스 홀더 boldly sculpts the plump outline of lips into a three-dimensional kiss mark design[4]. Depending on the angle of light, natural shadows are cast along the curves of the lips.
This difference in form extends to the way incense is burned and the use of the space where it is placed. The inkstone holder, with its wide and flat structure, neatly catches ashes falling from long stick-type incense, making it suitable for open spaces like living room tables or studies. The lip holder, being small and featuring prominent volume, functions well as a small objet even when not burning incense, making it suitable for giving a sensible point to small empty spaces like shelves or nightstands.
The specific weights and width-and-length dimensions of the 제스모나이트 벼루 인센스 홀더 and 립 인센스 홀더 have not yet been confirmed in the official materials.
