Estimated minutes: 10 min
Designer: Tomoaki Hamanaka
A slender triangular pyramid with a sharply elongated apex, offering strong structural stability. On its own, it is well suited for creating horn-like forms. By combining multiple units, it can be extended into solid structures such as cubes and square pyramids, making it a highly versatile structural element.
