Introducing our latest home fragrance offering in the form of ceramic sculpture. Artist Malwine Stauss has sculpted a mantlepiece object made with fragrance infused clay. Her contemplative figure gently scents your home.

The sculpture, titled Blomen, diffuses a herbaceous fragrance is certified organic and made with notes of Geranium, Vetiver, Bergamot, Ylang Ylang & Patchouli.

The sculpture sits on top of a moss green plinth and the scent can be topped up with the refill spray included. The fragrance is 100% natural and organic, and it contains no fragrance boosters or synthetic chemical fragrance.

Austin Austin have spent the last two years exploring ways to bring organic essential oils into the home in crafted and unexpected ways. The idea of introducing fragrance to clay has allowed Austin Austin to produce an ambitious home fragrance piece. It is art and organics intertwined in a functional daily object.

The scented ceramic sculpture is a collaboration with artist Malwine Stauss. She works across sculpture and painting, and her practice explores ideas of transcendentalism, utopia and the supernatural. Her work is influenced by early twentieth century spiritist artists such as Hilma af Klint and Emma Kunz.

“I made these sculptures in a time when I was looking to slow my life down, to be more grounded, restful and introspective.” – Stauss

Stauss painted an original watercolour for the sculpture box. The artwork speaks to the softness of the sculpture.
