Pigmentarium - INCENSE ALTAR Blue Wave
Unexpected concept of porcelain, which in itself serves as an aesthetic element regardless of its primary purpose. The incense altar by renowned porcelain designer and educator Daniel Piršč is not just a functional object. It is a unique work of art. The rounded shapes and the changing power of the metallic finish blur the boundaries and blend fantasy with the reality of the external environment. Two shapes associate a fluid mass, which is being entered by a scented stick. In one case, by vertical free fall, seemingly falling through the altar, in the second case, an illustration of the sticks movement along a sideway trajectory, while deforming the material in front of it. You can choose one of three colours, but they never completely define the final form. No two pieces are the same. Where the surface curves more, the colours change and give each piece a completely unique look.

Pigmentarium is a Czech perfume house founded in 2018 by creative duo Tomáš Ric and Jakub Florian Hiermann. They had an idea to create a brand that would demonstrate their pride regarding the Czech history and handcraft and their desire for art and interdisciplinary approach. They are the very first Czech brand creating niche perfums.
During their creation they are inspired both by Czech history and culture but presented by contemporary artistic expression. Together with their team they believe that through the focus on handcraft and creativity, they are able to develop a timeless product – fragrances which will be meaningful and inspiring in everyday life. Fragrances which will make an ordinary day special with a unique atmosphere.
The perfumer and a ´nose´ of the brand is Jakub who studied perfumery in London for six years. But his olfactory skills have been trained since his birth. Thanks to his grandmother, a passionate traveller and luxury parfums lover, he knew the most iconic and famous parfums as a small boy. In Pigmentarium Jakub is turning a lifelong passion into destiny.
The brand´s name, Pigmentarium, comes from Latin. During the First Republic it was a place where cosmetics and parfums were sold, present perfumery. Both Jakub and Tomáš are attracted to the period of the First Republic and are choosing the best from this era – design, architecture, handcraft.
The design of the bottle and packaging are inspired by functionalism and cubism. When you look at the black cap you can imagine bottles used for medications at that time. The typeface is inspired by the font used on Czech banknotes. And the two dots in the brand´s name? They represent two towers of the Prague Castle. Pigmentarium, these are not only exceptional perfumes, but the whole concept where all the details are considered and make sense.
