Challenged with creating a module for a self-supporting shelving system, I experimented with folding a variety of geometries. Ultimately the tetrahedron form was discovered by assembling six equilateral triangles.
The unique shape allows a variation of apertures when the modules are rotated in the assembly of the wall. Three of the module’s interior panels are painted red, while the adjacent panels are painted white to promote the module’s ability to reflect light and color. The tetrahedron provides a flat top for a sturdy stool and the angled walls allow more volume to the interior.
