Nio X Csm: Ceramic Home Fragrance Range

Combining Nature and Simplicity for a Refreshing Home Experience

Inspired by the Blue Sky Coming vision, the Nio X Csm ceramic home fragrance range aims to bring the essence of the beach into your home. Designed by Nio Life, this collection of essential oil holders, incense burners, and candle holders combines Scandinavian simplicity with the beauty of nature, creating a versatile and refreshing addition to any living space.

The Nio X Csm ceramic home fragrance range draws inspiration from the feeling of being on the beach, where the air is fresh and the sea is within reach. It captures the essence of spending time outdoors, picking up pebbles, and feeling the physically comforting stones. With these products, users can bring the sea into their homes, creating a sense of freedom and happiness under the blue sky.

What sets this design apart is its simplicity and versatility. Each product in the range features a beautiful pebble form, highlighting the natural shape and fragrance. The minimalistic Scandinavian design allows these pieces to blend seamlessly into any home decor, while the slightly adjusted forms offer a touch of uniqueness. The use of porcelain as the main material not only adds elegance but also allows for the absorption of essential oils, ensuring a longer-lasting fragrance experience.

Interacting with the Nio X Csm ceramic home fragrance range is effortless. Users simply need to place their preferred fragrance items on the products, whether it be essential oils, incense, or candles. The range not only adds joy and relaxation to the home but can also be used as decorative pieces on tables or bookshelves. Additionally, the portable nature of these pebbles makes them perfect for car fragrances, allowing users to enjoy a refreshing scent wherever they go.

The Nio X Csm ceramic home fragrance range was developed by Nio Life, in collaboration with Miranda Swanson and Paprika Williams. The project began in August 2018 and the first sale took place in February 2020. Throughout the design process, extensive research was conducted on Nio's values and the incorporation of sustainable materials and ethical practices in ceramics. This led to the choice of using natural air-purifying materials, such as beeswax candles and white sage incense, known for their ability to remove toxins from the air in the home.

The design team faced the challenge of creating a fragrance that would last longer. Through thorough material research and testing, they discovered that porcelain was the ideal material for absorbing essential oils, ensuring a longer-lasting fragrance experience. This innovative solution not only enhances the functionality of the products but also adds to their portability and versatility.

The Nio X Csm ceramic home fragrance range has been recognized for its excellence in design. It was awarded the Iron A' Furniture Design Award in 2022. This prestigious accolade is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. The Nio X Csm range stands out for its integration of industry best practices, competent technical characteristics, and its contribution to a better world through fulfilling and positive experiences.
