Made from a solid, rectangular block of marble, the Monolith incense holder embraces contemplation and while-being while embodying production and material optimization. The cylindrical holder is cut out of the block, leaving a hollow center to place the piece vertically. Clever use of counterweight and friction holds the incense sticks at the perfect angle while the plate provides a platform for burning incense cones or a piece of lava rock, which serves as an essential oil diffuser.
