Triangle of Sadness
offense, defense & trance
Star
(Offense) — Transforming an object made to take one's breath into something that allows you to take a breath. Inspired by the medieval weapon, ‘the morning star’, it now serves as a seat, or with a glass tablet on top, it becomes a (side) table. People are often fascinated by darker, more taboo topics—there's something about violence that captivates the human mind. Even though we condemn neither, the shape of an armament has always been aesthetically pleasing. Is it because of its purpose or the fear status it brings with it? For us, deconstructing them into something that should not be feared is a challenge we like to conquer. Made out of solid European oak, the body rests on three spikes (legs); if it's used as a seat or with a glass tablet, the object has a unique, intriguing shape that can be placed anywhere.

Hedgehog
(Defense) — Transforming an object to keep people out into something that brings people together. The shape is inspired by a Czech military defense obstacle called the ‘Czech Hedgehog’. This object’s industrial appearance has always intrigued us; we saw it as having three legs to stand and three arms to hold. However, having it made out of solid European oak and putting a glass tablet on top, it now serves a different purpose. Instead of keeping people away, it brings people together to dine, celebrate or debate. A glass tablet was chosen to let the object breathe, to enjoy the shape from above, and to allow the finished product’s fine details to be appreciated.

Pill
(Trance) — The concept revolves around transforming an object that either heals or induces euphoria into one that keeps us grounded. Inspired by the pharmaceutical industry and rave culture, this piece mimics the form of pills; small, minimal, and varied in purpose. In Western culture, we consume these pills without much thought, placing blind trust in doctors and dealers alike, seeking healing or a dopamine rush.
Crafted from solid European oak, the piece can function as a seat, coffee table, or a decorative element, admired for its intricate design. Engraved with a sentimental symbol from a project we initiated in 2015, it pays homage to a significant journey that expanded our creative horizons. The object features a ‘break line’ at the bottom, reminiscent of many pills, and its triangular shape with slightly curved corners is aesthetically pleasing.
