Still Arc — Brass Incense Holder | Handmade, Minimalist Design
A brass arc. A gesture of stillness.
Still Arc is more than an incense holder — it’s an object that gives form to your ritual. The gently curved solid brass dish catches the ash, while the smoke makes its way upwards. No plastic, no excess. Just metal that develops its own patina over time — becoming more beautiful the more you use it.
Each piece is handcrafted and polished. The slightly curved shape is reminiscent of a leaf that has just landed on water — calm, light, balanced. Suitable for any incense stick and any room that deserves a moment of tranquility.
Why brass?
Brass has been the material of choice for incense and rituals for centuries. It is heat-resistant, durable, and develops a warm, coppery patina over time. In many cultures, brass is considered a cleansing metal — perfect for an object that becomes part of your daily meditation or evening routine.
How to use Still Arc
Place the holder on a heat-resistant surface. Insert your incense stick into the designated opening at the raised end. Light it, blow out the flame — and let the smoke do the rest. The ash gently collects on the curved surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the arc holder work?
The incense stick is inserted into the small hole at the arc's center. The curved brass dish below catches ash while burning. Not a classic stick holder – more an object-like table companion.
Which stick thicknesses fit?
Standard incense sticks with 2-3 mm diameter fit easily. Very thin sticks (under 2 mm) sit looser – a touch of beeswax at the stick's end can secure thin ones too.
Why does brass develop a patina?
Solid brass reacts with air and skin contact to form a warm, uneven patina – this is intentional aging, not a flaw. To preserve shine, polish brass regularly with a soft cloth.
