Trido
Trido is a set of magnetic building blocks used to create decorative objects. The set is based on the geometry of Platonic solids, using tetrahedron, octahedron and half-tetrahedron shapes. A patented magnetic system allows every side of every piece to connect to another, aligning along the edges without repelling. Thousands of forms can be assembled, such as a sculpture, a vase, a mask or a holder. The pieces are made of ABS plastic, and the magnets are hidden inside an inner nest. Six color palettes are offered.

The A' Decorative Items and Homeware Design Award is a highly prestigious, international, juried design prize that honors outstanding design of tableware, lighting fixtures, cookware, decorative accessories, bathroom accessories, furniture, textiles, kitchen gadgets and more.
