Rocking Tray is a cast iron incense holder that integrates form with function and quintessential Japanese minimalism.
Designed by master craftsman Hisanori Masuda of Chushin Kobo, a metal casting atelier in Yamagata, Japan, it is crafted using traditional Imono (iron casting) techniques, rendering a black patina and delicate rings ingrained on the surface.
Appellation senkō (incense sticks) can be inserted in the small, accompanying holder.
CARE: Wipe with a dry cloth. Store in a dry place to prevent rust.
Included in every box of Appellation incense
Every year, over 108 million kilograms of date seeds, a byproduct of the industry, are discarded in the UAE.
We partnered with DateForm, a material innovation startup, to create our signature date-seed incense holder, included in every box of Appellation incense.
Since 2023, Appellation incense holders have repurposed 10 kilograms of material – approximately 15,000 date seeds.
