OIMU - Natural Incense Sticks (Summer)

OIMU is a Seoul-based design studio, whose projects reinterpret forgotten cultural values and traditions. Their natural incense sticks are handmade through a labour-intensive process harnessing traditional Korean techniques, where skilled craftsman knead the raw natural materials and extract the dough elaborately by hand before air drying it in the wind over several months.

‘Oimu Summer 'is a harmonious Incense stick with the smell of grass that seems greener after a cool summer shower and the cozy wood scent of sandalwood. "Summer is wonderful because we can eat fresh vegetables." - Gye Yong Muk, <여름의 미각> 中 -
