About Trido Munus Primarium: Cubi Aedificatorii Magnetici
Textus Libri: Trido est copia cuborum aedificatoriorum magneticorum ad res ornamentales creandas adhibitorum. Copia in geometria solidorum Platonicorum fundatur, formis tetraedri, octaedri, et dimidii tetraedri usa. Systema magneticum patentatum efficit ut omnis latus cuiusque partis alteri connecti possit, secundum oras se aptando sine repulsione. Milia formarum componi possunt, veluti sculptura, vas, persona, vel receptaculum. Partes ex materia plastica ABS factae sunt, et magnetes intra nidum interiorem occultantur. Sex tabulae colorum praebentur.

- Unique Properties
- Trido is a set of magnetic building blocks, based on the geometry of Platonic solids - the shapes of tetrahedron and octahedron.
Thanks to a unique ingenious magnet system, each side of each shape connects to each other aligning along the edges and with no repealing, which allows limitless construction possibilities.
Trido has a harmoniously balanced palette in nuances and contrasts.
Trido is a distinctive inspirational tool. - Dimensions & Packaging
- Color palettes: Jungle, Flamingo, Laguna, Sky, Honey, Greyscale.
Each piece size: Tetrahedron 50mm x 40mm x 40mm, Octahedron 50mm x 50mm x 70mm, Half-Tetrahedron 50mm x 40mm x 20mm - Tags
- Trido, art, decor, magnetic blocks, sculpture, pyramidal, triangle geometry, home decor
- Production Technology
- Trido has a patented magnetic system, which gives strong connection between shapes without repealing. That unique system allows a limitless versatility for assembling, and also makes it very pleasant and simple to assemble new designs. The shapes aligne themselves along the edges. The pieces are made of ABS plastic, while the magnets are safely hidden inside in a special inner "nest". Trido magnetic system is protected by the patents in the USA, European countries, China, Japan, Korea.
- Design Challenge
- The most difficult part was to develop the magnetic inner system for different shapes. A lot of prototyping and testing were applied to find the right solution for the functional and appearance quality, along with the balance of technical issues of production.
- Research
- Artur Tikhonenko, the creator of Trido, was very interested in the sculpture and plaster casting and origami technology. He originally wanted to create magnetic biological shapes, but after making some prototypes, he came up with the idea of breaking through the biological series. After experimenting with different shapes, Artur found that only when tetrahedrons and octahedrons are combined in a specific way can they stick to each other without gaps.
- Inspiration
- The inspiration came from the sculpture and plaster casting and origami technology. The idea was to make an infinitely transforming piece of décor that could be rebuilt into different shapes, and different styles: a sculpture, a vase, a holder etc. "Playing" with a transformable piece of décor awakes an artist soul and inspires to create. Different mood - different sculpture, new style - new piece of decor - that is how Trido magnetic art works.
- Project Duration
- The development of first prototypes started in the mid of 2017. In 2020: the first sales started in Europe and China. In 2022: The Red Dot Award "Best of the Best" was won.
- Operation Flow
- Trido magnetic blocks can be assembled in thousands of beautiful decor pieces, i.e. a sculpture, a vase, a mask, a holder and whatever comes on mind. It is very easy to build of Trido magnetic pieces, because shapes are very well magnetized and neither side repels the other.
