THE SMUDGE TOOL

Massproductions and Eyes of My Mind present an incense holder named “Smudge Tool” together with an incense with a scent named “Modernist Spirit”.

Smudge Tool is made in folded steel sheet with the surprising addition of a wingnut. It comes in one finish only, Yellow Galvanized.

“How do you represent a company philosophy through only one of the senses? “Modernist Spirit” is an abstract idea, unrelated to olfactory delight – to bridge that divide is to unlock the experience. What is the scent of modernism? Here’s your answer.”

– MAGNUS ELEBÄCK

“The only thing in the brief was ’not too hippy.’ An incense holder is always on display; it must look good but can be a modern industrial object that enhances ones desire for incense. Smudge Tool is a very functional incense holder with a finish reminiscent of a psychedelic rainbow. “

– CHRIS MARTIN

In 2020 a Spiritual Stashbox was launched by Axel Boman, Nicole Palacio and Robin Ekemark under the platform Eyes of My Mind. Eyes Of My Mind is a continuation from a song with the same name released on Axel’s record label Studio Barnhus in 2020 that aims to blur the lines between art, design and modern spirituality, capsulated by their motto: ”the only way out is in”.

The collaboration between Massproductions and Axel Boman began already in 2021 with an audio interpretation of Massproductions’ sofa, BAM!, produced by Axel. Now, they have moved from exploring sound waves to focusing on scent.
