Kodo is a contemporary aroma clock that releases a range of essential oils depending on the time of day.
Inspired by ancient Asian incense clocks, this air freshener is a contemporary take on these artifacts. Incense clocks were used in China and Japan to create a sense of relaxation and calm, in both temples and homes. They were often intricate and beautiful, something that you would display as oppose to try to blend in.
The incense tray is split up into four sections, allowing a different essential oil for each section. These sections represent the different times of day; Morning, afternoon, evening and night. As the day goes by, the tray turns, similar to the hand on a clock. A small heating element is located underneath the tray which heats up the section above it, releasing the essential oils into the air which signals the passing of time.
