The red tower is what started the whole octahedron thing. Trine originally made this six-foot tall design for a client’s retail display and then decided to play with the shape. “Let me scale it down and make a plant stand. Or scale it back up and make a side table. Scale it up even more and make a coffee table. I’m not a very collection-y designer. I have that shape stuck in my head and I keep using it and when I’m done using it I’ll be done with that kind of family of products.”
