Tennen

Founded in 2001 by Ethan and Sarah Wessel, Tennen is a multidisciplinary architectural firm based in Phoenix, Arizona. After becoming dissatisfied with the lack of beautiful, functional incense burners in the US, the pair devised their own, eventually partnering with Kyoto-based makers to bring incense to their line as well. From buildings to aromas, Tennen projects find their inspiration in the culture and aesthetic sensibilities of Japan - especially honesty of materials, minimalist leanings, and an appreciation for the changing of the seasons.
