Project Information
I embarked on a new product design project, and this time, I was on the hunt for the perfect home accessory to heat essential oils, propolis, incense, and more. While I came across a few decent options, none of them really captured what I had in mind, so I thought—why not design one myself?

The journey of creating this ceramic diffuser turned out to be both challenging and rewarding. From the initial idea to the final prototype, it took me around three months. During that time, I spent countless hours experimenting with different shapes, crafting paper models, and working closely with manufacturers to perfect every little detail.

One of my favorite things about this diffuser is how it allows me to heat propolis and incense together. The scent brings back fond memories of my childhood, reminding me of visits to my grandmother’s village-warm, comforting, and filled with nostalgia.
