From Void to Ritual

I embarked on this project out of personal necessity: I wanted a home accessory for essential oils but couldn't find one that balanced aesthetics with function. So, I designed it myself.

This journey took me through the full Product Design cycle. It wasn’t just about sketching; it involved 3 months of prototyping, deep material research, and direct supervision of the manufacturing process.

The result is a ceramic object that is both functional and deeply emotional—inspired by childhood memories of heating propolis. This project proves that I understand the physics, materials, and production realities behind a tangible product.
