LAVA STONE INCENSE HOLDER

MAXIMILIAN JENCQUEL, THE VENEZUELAN-BORN, GERMAN-FRENCH ARCHITECT, BRINGS A GLOBAL SENSIBILITY TO EVERY OBJECT HE CREATES. AFTER EARLY CAREER STINTS WITH DESIGN ICONS ANDRÉE PUTMAN IN MIAMI AND TOKYO, AND YEARS AT THE ESTEEMED CHRISTIAN LIAIGRE STUDIO IN PARIS, JENCQUEL FOUND HIS OWN RHYTHM THROUGH A TRANSFORMATIVE TRIP TO INDONESIA.

THAT JOURNEY LED TO THE BIRTH OF STUDIO JENCQUEL—A PRACTICE ROOTED IN THE PRINCIPLES OF “SLOW DESIGN,” WHERE EVERY ELEMENT IS CONSIDERED, EVERY FORM HAS PURPOSE, AND EVERY OBJECT TELLS A STORY.

THIS LAVA STONE HOLDER IS A RARE PIECE IN TODAY’S LANDSCAPE OF GENERIC BEAUTY AND OVERDONE HOME FRAGRANCE. HANDCRAFTED WITH WABI-SABI INTENTION, IT’S AN OBJECT DESIGNED TO AGE GRACEFULLY—GAINING CHARACTER, NOT LOSING IT. BOTH RAW AND REFINED, IT’S A STUDY IN CONTRAST AND A TESTAMENT TO THE POWER OF MATERIAL HONESTY.

THIS ISN’T JUST A DESIGN OBJECT—IT’S A KEEPSAKE OF CRAFT, ATMOSPHERE, AND TIME.
