The surface displays a triskelion within a hoop or circle. The triskelion, a classic device composed of three running legs, first appears in Greece around 500 b.c.

    Constructed in the form of an equilateral triangle, the first triangle is trisected to form 3 right angle triangles that now frame a smaller equilateral triangle. The 3 right angle triangles are then folded back on themselves crossing underneath the table which now appears to rest on 3 equilateral triangles when viewed from one perspective or 3 isosceles triangles, when viewed from another. The clean simplicity of the lines and the angles together, evoke a sudden complexity which evolves into a highly kinetic art form.

    These small, highly collectible pieces make a perfect addition to any contemporary room. Due to their low profile, dynamic appearance, and brilliant colors, these pieces attract immediate attention. They provide a unique focus in any room and will inspire conversation for years to come.

The design is highly dynamic and changes character, depending on the angle from which it is viewed. Other views of this design may be seen in the gallery.
