2017



Kodo is a contemporary aroma clock that releases a range of essential oils depending on the time of day.
The concept draws on the often less stimulated of human senses to serenely mark significant moments in a day, such as waking, going to bed, praying, and eating.
Essential oils were chosen due to their therapeutic properties, and with a growing trend of essential oil diffusers, more and more people are engaging in aromatherapy to relax and refresh their home or workplace. There are hundreds of different types, each has a strong connection with certain moods or feelings. By using these oils, Kodo allows customers to completely customise their fragrance experience and create a relaxing or productive atmosphere.
Drawing inspiration from ancient incense clocks, this modern air freshener embodies the essence of these cherished artifacts. Incorporating the serene ambiance evoked by incense clocks traditionally found in China and Japan, this air freshener offers a touch of tranquility.
Its design pays homage to the exquisite intricacy and beauty of these time-honored creations, making it a captivating display piece rather than an attempt to blend in.
