About Tamsa Pokladnička na mince
Tamsa je pokladnička na mince navrhnutá pre domácnosť. Tamsa pozostáva z dvoch častí – vázy, ktorá uchováva mince, a misky, ktorá slúži ako veko. Miska je pridržiavaná na mieste tromi neodýmovými magnetmi a dá sa premiestniť, čím sa mení vzhľad celého kusu. Váza je vyrobená z čiernej matnej hliny, zatiaľ čo miska je z ocele s elektrolytickým povrchom, ktorý jej dodáva vzhľad podobný mosadzi. Gumový kryt vo vnútri vázy chráni výrobok pred padajúcimi mincami. Celkový rozmer je 250 mm x 250 mm x 90 mm. Tvar odkazuje na legendu o El Dorade a obetný rituál kultúry Muisca.

- Production Technology
- Tamsa's main material are clay and galvanized steel with a electrolytic bath that give it's brass alike finish for its two main elements (the dish and the vase). But in addition this project count with other two additional elements that appeal more to the function, one of these is the rubber cover inside the vase, set there to protect the product from the coins that will be falling in, and second, a set of three neodymium magnets that help to fit the dish with the vase, making the product more safe in its manipulation.
- Design Challenge
- The main challenges in the development of Tamsa was defining the best way to abstract and represent many concepts of a culture that merge with myths and bring them together into a timeless context with a piece that results intuitive and meaningful to the user.
- Research
- To develop Tamsa, the main focus was to create a product inspired in one of South America most important pre Columbian cultures, the Muiscas, yet transcendent in a way that can be placed in any context and still be understood in its meaning and function. Analyzing multiple aspects of their culture, myths, legends and traditions through comparison tables was determined that the El Dorado legend could be the best reference to start working. With the help of focus groups and checking on traditional manufacturing methods Tamsa was born.
- Inspiration
- Tamsa means offering in Chibcha, a South American tribe that had a ritual where the heir to the throne got covered in gold and emeralds to then get washed in the guatavita lagoon as an offer to the gods. The Spanish conqueror Gonzalo Jimenez de Quesada was the first to witness this, giving origin to the El Dorado legend, a city covered in gold. Tamsa is a memory between the ritual and the myth that recreate that act of offering for a better future in the most elegant way.
- Project Duration
- This is a project that starter as an idea back in May 2018, was left as a simple sketch until June 2019 when the prototyping started after multiple tests, back and forwards, the product is starting production by October 2019.
- Operation Flow
- Tamsa consists of two parts, the vase where the money is stored and the dish that works as a lid that protect the valuables. This second is secured with a magnetic system that allow to reposition it over the vase to create different aspects of the same product depending on the environment where is placed.
