Wood Incense and Candle Holder by Dor+Kie

Natural ritual and sculptural warmth in a handcrafted form

The Wood Incense and Candle Holder by Dor+Kie is hand-carved from Knysna Yellowwood, a richly grained South African timber known for its warmth and character. Each holder is shaped into an organic faceted silhouette that varies subtly from piece to piece, reflecting the Wabi Sabi philosophy of beauty found in natural imperfection. Finished with a hand-forged brass fitting designed for both taper candles and incense, it introduces atmosphere, intention, and quiet artistry into everyday spaces.
