The shell shape is one of the most cherished symbols for lovers of the ocean and the sea: the memory of travel, natural beauty and the beach is concentrated within it. This saman wood secret box is shaped like a shell and opens with a sliding mechanism — the discovery of how to open it is a special experience at the first encounter. The compact 7.5 × 2.5 cm size is suitable for concealing small pieces of jewellery, rings and secret objects.
Secret Mechanism — the Joy of Discovery
The essence of the secret box's appeal is that the method of opening it is not immediately obvious. This piece uses a sliding mechanism: the lid must be slid in precisely the right direction for the interior to open. Fingers must first feel the texture of the wood and locate the moving element — this requires patience and attention. The shell form is particularly fitting for the symbolism of secrecy: just as the inside of a shell only reveals itself to those who find the right way to open it.
Saman Wood — Natural and Durable
Saman wood (Samanea saman, also known as rain tree) is a tropical timber characterised by its relatively light but stable structure and surface that can be worked smooth. Its natural tones are warm, and carved forms show up well on it — the curved lines of the shell and the natural pattern of the wood work in harmonious combination. The 0.35 kg weight gives a solid feeling despite the small size. Each piece reflects the unique grain of the wood, meaning no two boxes are entirely identical.
