Trije bûge stripen wurde gearfoege ta in rûne, trijediminsjonale trijehoekige struktuer. Elke strip is ferbûn mei de oare twa, sadat der fjouwer feringen nedich binne op elke strip en elke hoeke presys knipt wurde moat. De tafel mjit 77 sintimeter yn breedte, 77 sintimeter yn djipte en 48 sintimeter yn hichte. It ûntwerp is licht fan gewicht en kin brûkt wurde as meubel of besjoen wurde as in skulptureel objekt.
