Appreciation towards Siba Sahabi for providing the following description:Siba Sahabi最新设计的边桌系列以希腊最享有盛名的数学家－“几何之父”欧几里德之名命名。

在公元前300年，欧几里德在他的著作《几何原本》中阐述了正多面体的定义。而这一系列小边桌正是以正多面体为原型，由重复出现的多边形、尖锐的夹角以及笔直的边界组成。

金属为底，纸张覆面，4种形式的7个三角形形成了桌子的表面与支撑结构。设计师通过几何构造，将数学之美融入了当代设计之中。

Siba Sahabi designed three side tables named after the Greek mathematician Euclid of Alexandria—also known as the Father of Geometry.

In 300 B.C., Euclid described in ‘Elements’, his treatise of 13 books on mathematics and geometry, the construction of a solid called ‘polyhedron’. The three side table are based on this particular solid, composed of at polygonal faces, sharp corners and straight edges.

The objects are made from metal and finished with a coating of paper. Each side table is constructed out of four elements that consist of seven triangular sections which form both the surface and the legs. Through this geometric construction, the visual aspects of mathematics are translated into contemporary design.
