The search for form begins with a solid Sapele timber cube. Its core is precision-milled, creating a cylindrical cavity that houses a removable, flanged stainless steel vessel. This internal chamber establishes a structural hierarchy within the primary volume.

A solid stainless steel cube is inset into a corner of the Sapele chassis. Elevated above the timber surface, its top features a diagonal semi-circular groove—a resting point for a cigar. This intersection of wood and steel establishes a sense of visual and physical weight.

A martensitic stainless steel disc serves as a lid. An aperture provides a finger-access point for removal. The disc is designed to be magnetically docked to the side of the timber block when not in use, held in place by a dual-magnet structure.
