AFTERWORK INDUSTRIES has released its first product: the AW-03-0001-NA incense holder, co-designed with CALIPER and renowned creative Or. This modern design object blends industrial influences with refined, functional elegance.
The incense holder’s form is sculptural yet practical. It was crafted in Madrid using a slip-cast porcelain body, enhanced with aluminium and quartz sand. The finish is smooth and glazed, making it suitable both as a decorative piece and for daily use.
Or’s Signature Design Language
Designer Or, known for his collaborations with Off-White™, Mercedes-Benz, and Cassina, brings a global design pedigree. His previous work with the late Virgil Abloh and the Alaska-Alaska team informs the creative direction. With this piece, Or aimed to create a lasting object that speaks to both modern functionality and aesthetic permanence.
Inspired by industrial ceramic insulators, the design reflects strength and utility. It is engineered to complement contemporary interiors while retaining a tactile, grounded feel.
Blending Art and Function
More than just an incense holder, the AW-03-0001-NA serves as a conversation piece. Its layered materials and sculptural lines bring a distinct character to living spaces. The design also reduces visual noise, making it easy to integrate into minimalist or industrial-style settings.
The incense holder is now available exclusively through AFTERWORK INDUSTRIES’ website, offering collectors and design enthusiasts a bold, statement-making piece for their homes.
