The tingkat, or the tiffin carrier, is a noun for food containers that
share a specific quality – stackability. So why not bring it to new
heights? This object called bertingkat-tingkat is a wordplay on
the Malay word ‘tingkat’, which translates to ‘level’ in English. In
both languages, the word functions as a noun and an adjective.
The idea is to make many tingkats (the quality meaning ‘level’) of
tingkats (the noun meaning the object).
