Tigram: the art of playing with geometrical shapes (and turning them into sofas and chairs)
Starting out from Tangram, the ancient Chinese game based on arranging seven geometrical shapes in combinations to
form an endless variety of designs and figures, Adrenalina has developed a collection of padded elements that re-invents the original brain teaser.
The seven basic elements are armchairs, sofas, poufs and stools, all rigorously modeled on a hexagonal base and
featuring different sizes, heights, and colours, which can be combined and separated to create figures and symbols in a kaleidoscope of variations.
The simple shapes of Tigram’s primary elements allow a tremendous and exciting variety of combinations that give birth to complex clusters of figures that can be freely interpreted both by those who arrange them and by the observer.
The choice of single elements can be summed up in a harmonic yet explosive whole, but you can also let them drift
away from each other and let them recover their individual charm. Tigram can be an articulated combination of elements, but each element can also elegantly stand on its own to stylize a corner or to fashion a cozy and friendly parlour.
