UnBespoke
UnBespoke is a modular tabletop object made from Indiana limestone. Four triangulated stone pieces are designed to hold tea light candles or small plants. The pieces can be arranged as a square, as an equilateral triangle, or in other formations chosen by the user. The design stems from the Haberdasher Puzzle, a mathematical problem that shows how to cut a square into pieces that form an equilateral triangle. When the pieces are rotated, the undulated interior edges of the square appear on the perimeter of the triangle. The object is modelled in 3D and cut by CNC machining.
