About Trido Shaqada Koowaad: Xabbado Dhismeed Birlab ah

Qoraalka Buugga: Trido waa qalab ka kooban xabbado dhismeed birlab ah oo loo isticmaalo in lagu sameeyo alaabo qurxin ah. Qalabku wuxuu ku dhisan yahay joomatriga jirka-Platonic-ka, isagoo isticmaalaya qaabab tetrahedron, octahedron iyo nus-tetrahedron ah. Nidaam birlab oo shatiyaysan ayaa u oggolaanaya dhinac kasta oo xabbad kasta inuu ku xidhmo mid kale, isku safan xagga darafyada iyada oo aan is-tuurin. Kumanaan qaabab ayaa la isku dhisi karaa, sida farshaxan, weel biyo, maaskaro ama qalab wax lagu hayo. Xabbadaha waxaa laga sameeyay balaastig ABS ah, birlabyadana waxaa lagu qariyay xarun gudaha ah. Lix qaab midab (color palette) ayaa la bixiyaa.

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.
