Timba

The TIMBA is a solid teak container measuring 15.00 centimeters in width, 17.00 centimeters in height, and 13.00 centimeters in depth. Constructed entirely from natural teak wood, this piece has a total weight of 0.46 kilograms and occupies a volume of 0.0030 cubic meters. The item features a cylindrical profile with vertical wooden staves fitted tightly together to form the main body. A fixed, arched handle spans the top opening, secured directly into the side walls of the vessel through integrated joint fixtures.

The exterior surface displays the distinct straight grain patterns and natural golden-brown coloration characteristic of mature teak. Artisans have sanded the wood to a smooth finish, leaving the tactile texture of the organic material exposed without heavy varnishes or synthetic lacquers. The timber contains natural oils inherent to the species, which contribute to moisture resistance and durability during daily handling. The base of the container consists of a recessed circular wooden panel, inset securely into the lower perimeter of the staves to maintain structural stability.

With a height of 17.00 centimeters including the raised handle, the unit accommodates small household items, desk accessories, or botanical elements. The internal cavity provides a clear opening bounded by the interior walls of the staves, maintaining a consistent diameter from the top rim down to the base insert. The handle clears the top opening by several centimeters, allowing a full-hand grip for carrying the object from one surface to another. The 13.00-depth measurement ensures a compact footprint, permitting placement on narrow shelves, office desks, countertops, or side tables where surface area is restricted.

The joinery relies on traditional woodworking techniques, aligning each individual stave precisely to prevent gaps along the vertical seams. The perimeter of the vessel is reinforced subtly by the tight tolerances of the assembly and the inherent density of the teak material. At 0.46 kilograms, the object remains lightweight enough for frequent relocation while possessing sufficient mass to remain stable when placed on flat surfaces. The shipping dimensions correspond to a compact volume of 0.0030 cubic meters, reflecting the straightforward, uncollapsible physical geometry of the piece.

Maintenance requirements are minimal due to the physical properties of teak wood. The surface can be cleaned using a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove accumulated dust. Periodic application of natural wood oils may be performed to preserve the original hue of the timber, though leaving the material untreated will result in a gradual patination over time. The hardware-free construction relies strictly on wood-to-wood joinery, reducing potential points of mechanical failure. The structural design draws direct inspiration from traditional water buckets and dry-storage vessels, scaled down for contemporary tabletop utility.
