Zandra - Bamboo Frame Sand Timer

A sand timer in a turned bamboo frame, with coloured sand that runs for 3, 5, 15 or 30 minutes. No beeping, no screen, no battery - just something quiet and pleasant to look at while the time runs out.

• Turned bamboo frame with clear glass and coloured sand
• Runs of 3, 5, 15 or 30 minutes
• Completely silent - no beep, no screen, no battery
• Doubles as a shelf object when you are not using it
• For tea, focus blocks, screen breaks and brushing teeth

There is a reason hourglasses never fully went away. A digital timer tells you a number; a sand timer shows you how much is left, and it does it without a single sound. That makes it far better company on a desk than something that beeps, and far better on a dining table than a phone. This one sits in a frame of turned bamboo, with warm grain and rounded ends, and the sand comes in soft blue or amber. Pick the run that matches what you use it for: three or five minutes for tea and toothbrushing, fifteen for a focused block of work, thirty for a proper stretch away from a screen. Between uses it simply stands there and looks like something you chose rather than something you bought for a task.

Silent by design
No alarm, no display, no battery to replace. You glance at it, you see how much sand is left, and that is the whole interaction.

Bamboo, not plastic
The frame is turned bamboo with visible grain, so it belongs on an open shelf next to books and ceramics rather than in a drawer.

Pick your run
Three and five minutes for tea and teeth, fifteen for a work block, thirty for a longer stretch. Each is a separate timer, so you can keep more than one.
