The Memory of Motion
Vintage Wooden Storage Pot with Lid - 5
About the Product
The Vintage Wooden Storage Pot with Lid is a beautifully aged wooden vessel, with its original lid and rope. It was shaped on the lathe with a rounded body, broad neck and distinctive flared rim. Its deep brown surface carries the warmth of natural timber, with visible grain, tonal variations and the subtle marks of years of handling.
Vessels like this belonged to rural Indian households, where they held provisions and other essentials, or used for travel. Place it on a console, sideboard or open shelving, or on the floor as a standalone sculptural object, or use it to hold dried branches and foliage.
Its warm timber and rounded form work particularly well alongside stone, linen, plaster and other natural materials in contemporary interiors.

About the Chapter
From The Memory of Motion, Origin & Form's first collection.
This piece has already made a journey. Long before it reached you, it moved: carried, wheeled, passed from hand to hand. It carries decades in its grain and the wear of the roads behind it.
You're not buying an object. You're buying the moment it stopped moving.
