Perfume Distiller

Designs of the Year

Working alongside designer Lauren Davies, we developed the design for a fully functioning perfume distiller, ready for batch production.

It was deisgned to create hydrosols and essential oils. Water is boiled using the heat from the oil burner underneath the spun copper bowl at the base. The steam then passes up through the scented plant material sitting on the handcrafted sieve above. The top compartment is filled with ice allowing the spun copper cone below it to act as a condenser. The steam containing scent particles, passes up through the second sieve and hits the condenser where it cools, turns into liquid and drips down into the collection glass below.
