This ‘sunset lamp’ also has a built-in incense burner that creates a foggy winter sunset in your room

Imagine looking out of your window to see layers of wispy fog kissing the mountains in front of you. Trees emerging from the smoke, with only their coniferous tips visible. The sun touching the horizon in the distance, a cup of coffee in your hand. Quite a change from your current view, with buildings blocking your view of the sky, pigeons, honking cars, cacophony, no? Well, regardless of your urban setup, the Brume hopes to transport you to the tranquility of the foggy mountains with a simple flip of a switch. Part sunset lamp (or rather, spotlight), and part incense burner, Brume casts a glow of light against your wall, while the smoke from the incense sticks help create fog-like wispy patterns against the light, and simultaneously fills your room with a pleasant aroma to make you forget the world around you.

The beauty of the Brume is its multisensory nature. It’s a lamp but more than just one. Designed to fill your room with ambient light while also helping you escape reality, the Brume does a wonderful job of being greater than the sum of its parts. The light and smoke come together to remind you of the mountains, and the clouds at eye level.

Brume can be split into its two parts – the sunset lamp, which casts a focused circular shape on any wall that you point it at, and an electric incense burner that sits right in front of it, emitting the fragrant smoke right in front of the light source. The incense burner uses a set of ‘tablets’ as opposed to conventional incense sticks or cones. Place the tablet into its slot on the Brume’s tray, and you’re ready to be transported to the wintry mountains. Switch the Brume on and the device simultaneously activates the incense burner as well as the lamp, with a knob on the side to control the lamp’s brightness. The device runs on a battery, giving it a couple of hours’ worth of use on a full charge, and a USB-C port at the back lets you charge your Brume every couple of days.

This incense burner is ash-free

Incense burners introduce a sense of homeliness into our abodes through the sense of smell, however, they also bring with them ash, which isn’t the most desirable of things to have within the home. This is where Calla differs from the rest; based on the technology that is held within e-cigarettes, the internal hot plate gently warms the incense, slowly filling the air with an enticing aroma.

Whilst the cone of incense visibly changes through a color change, ash is never created. Once more, even after the user has finished with the incense, it can be cooled-down and reused. Leading to very little waste! All of this has been encapsulated within a strikingly simplistic form that moves away from the familiar aesthetic that incense burners carry.

Traditonal incense burner.

Insert the incense cone into the hole and hold the button on the side for 2-3 seconds to activate. The hot plate inside that will heat the incense slowly.

“I found out that the e-cigarette was disassembled and that a part called the heating pin was removed from the problem of the burning of ash of tobacco. Then wouldn’t it be possible to solve the problem if we applied the heating pin to the incense that has the same problem as the ash matter,” Kim explained.

“After repeated agonizing and experimenting, I decided to use a “hitting panel” with the same method but different shape, and found the optimum temperature,” Kim added.

“At this temperature, the incense cone only burns black, and there is no white ash, so there is no problem with it. Even if the heating is stopped in the middle of the heating process, it is easily turned off and can be used normally even if heated again.”
