Complexity without redundancy

6 times 3 equals intriguing coffee table. 6 x 3 Coffee Table is built not with nails but with imagination. 6 types of elements, 3 from each type are connected in a complex interlocking structure. Each element holds multiple other elements in a self-sustaining structure. Every element is important because the structure will break apart if removed.

The perfect geometry of the structure is due the fact that it is inscribed in an inverted regular triangular pyramid. Combined with the circular glass it creates beautiful geometrical shape.

The 6 types of elements are quite different and that’s why there isn’t redundancy. This results in an expressive look of the table which can be enhanced by using different wood of each element.

The complex structure is also an intriguing puzzle. Those who love to tease their brains can challenge themselves and try to solve the puzzle without the instructions. The others can use the easy step by step instructions and the labels inside the joints.

6 x 3 Coffee Table is part of Praktrik’s Impossible Collection. It is called Impossible because theoretically the structure can exist in both assembled and disassembled states but it can’t be assembled. We use a little trick to make it possible. We use the elasticity of the wood so when the last element is put in place a force need to be applied. We also leave a little gap in the joints which makes the whole structure a bit elastic.

The expressive vision makes 6 x 3 Coffee Table perfect for a special emphasis in living rooms and for table sets in cafes. It fits to the personality of smart people who love geometry, brainteasers and lateral thinking. It’s a real conversation starter.
