Tris 2005
Candlelight
Iittala, Finland
Tris is a tealight in the form of a soft triangle. To me, this kind of circle seemed a logical form that did not dicate any particular direction. The facetting not only serves as decoration and provides an additional reflective surface; it also allows the pieces to be stacked more easily. The colours are a further decorative element. Certain colours have two different shades and - depending upon the angle you look at it from - one colour or the other becomes visible. The many reflections make Tris remind you of a small source of fire.
