About Tura Bwrdd
Mae Bwrdd Tura yn tynnu ysbrydoliaeth o'r pyramidiau, a adeiladwyd o garreg Tura, symbol o wytnwch a hanes. Lluniodd y dylanwad hwn ei enw a'i ddyluniad, gan asio estheteg hynafol a modern. Mae'n cynnwys tair sylfaen tebyg i garreg, wedi'u crefftio o ffibrgwydr i atgynhyrchu gwead y garreg tra'n lleihau pwysau. Mae arwyneb gwydr di-dor, wedi'i sicrhau gyda bondio silicon, yn cyferbynnu â'r gwead garw oddi tano. Mae'r cerrig yn darparu sefydlogrwydd, tra bod y gwydr yn ychwanegu ysgafnder a swyddogaethrwydd. Mae'r asiad hwn o hanes a chrefftwaIth cyfoes yn gwneud Bwrdd Tura yn ddarn datganiad atemporol.
