Wood is the key characteristic design element of TIMBA. The name was chosen due to its phonetic similarity to the word “timber”.
The legs of the TIMBA table are made from solid oak, either in a natural finish or stained in graphite, and are connected to a frame of shaped wood which is varnished in platinum or anthracite. The legs are slightly tapered and become thinner towards the floor. The high quality, natural material gives an impression of appreciation, stability and warmth.

A characteristic of the TIMBA table is the “turntable” in the centre of the table top. It covers the recessed hollow of the “Power Bowl”, where power and network connections can be found. It also functions as a decorative storage place: Pens, notepads and other essentials can be placed here. If you want to connect any equipment, then it is easy to twist the turntable in either direction to immediately reveal and access the connectors.

The turntable is available in two shapes, depending on the geometry and size of the table top: either circular or rectangular with gently rounded corners.

The TIMBA table encourages spontaneity. If coupled with seating of an appropriate height, such as the TIMBA stool high, you can comfortably sit at this level or simply stand next to it.  Coming and going – seated or standing, communication remains always at eye level – an application which is especially popular in more informal areas.

Power Bowl

• The Power Bowl consists of a plastic deep-set cup and a “Turn Table”. The cup (black) is integrated into the tabletop and fitted with a connection plug board. It can be accessed easily by simply pushing the “Turn Table” away. Vertical cable managment is solved with a mesh tube, that is hooked into the Power Bowl Cup.
• Possible shapes: oval or round, depending on table height and tabletop shape. Position: centred, left and right if the tabletop is split.
• “Turn Table” made of solid oak or MDF powder-coated in white or anthracite.

Dimensions

• TIMBA Table is availabne in two hights and four tabletop shapes: round, rectangular, square or “soft-edge”.

TIMBA Table LEED Points

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a system developed by the U.S. Green Building Council to classify ecological construction. As an internationally recognised standard, LEED sets out numerous guidelines for environmentally friendly, resource-efficient, and sustainable construction.
The use of the TIMBA Table is an important contribution to LEED certification. The following criteria for this are from »LEED 2009 for Commercial Interiors«:
