About Nio X Csm Boligduftholder

Nio X Csm er en boligduftserie fremstillet af porcelæn. Kollektionen omfatter holdere til æteriske olier, røgelsesbrændere og lysestager. Hvert stykke anvender samme rullestensform, let tilpasset til den enkelte anvendelse, hvilket gør serien alsidig og enkel at producere. Porcelæn blev valgt, fordi materialet absorberer æteriske olier og holder på duften i længere tid. Anvendelsen er enkel, idet duftelementerne blot placeres på rullestenen. Stenene kan også fungere som dekoration på borde og bogreoler eller medbringes på rejser.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: This is a Home Fragrance range including essential oil holders, incense burners and candle holders. The project combines NIO’s Blue Sky Coming vision with modern Scandinavian simplicity and usability, aiming to create a simple product which can be placed anywhere in the home. Each product uses the same beautiful pebble form and slightly adjusted, makes this a versatile design, simple to produce and with room to expand. Simple yet nature shape highlights the details of pebble form and also fragrance.
Dimensions & Packaging: Multi dimensions
Production Technology: Porcelain
Design Challenge: The challenge in the design process was how to make the fragrance last longer. Through researching materials and carrying out tests, the designer chose to concentrate on using Porcelain to absorb the essential oils, in order to keep the fragrance for a longer period of time. These pebbles can also be portable and used as car fragrance.
Research: As a group we spent time researching NIO’s values and what might fit in with their company brand and vision. My role throughout the group work was to research climate change, sustainable materials and ethical practice within ceramics. This research later influenced my choice of using natural air purifying materials, such as Bee’s Wax Candles and White Sage incense - both proven to remove toxins from air in the home.
Inspiration: Inspired by the Blue Sky Coming vision, the product aims to create a picture: Being on the beach, where the air is freshest and you can almost taste the sea. Spending time outdoors, picking up pebbles and feeling the physically comforting stones. The products enable users to sense sea at home and convey the concept that people all breath freely and run happily under the blue sky.
Project Duration: Started in August 2018, first sale in February 2020.
Operation Flow: All users need to do is very simple. They should just place fragrance items on the products. The products add joy and relaxation for users both at home and during travel. Further, it can be placed as decoration on tables or bookshelves.
