Asymmetry - Ross Gardam

Asymmetry - Ross Gardam:

The Asymmetry collection is a refined series of tables with a geometric base and various table top options. The tables were designed for the OneThird brand which is a collaboration with some of Australia’s best designers and Tasmanian manufacturers and craftspeople. The table base is actually symmetrical however takes on a much more abstract form when viewed from different angles. Asymmetry supplies a balanced platform to showcase the beauty of marble and sculpted Tasmanian timber surfaces.

Polysomatic Forms, Paul Schatz

The Invertible Cube
Through an artistic engagement with questions of space and the Zodiac discovered Paul Schatz 1929 Umstülpbarkeit the Platonic solids. In particular, worked out from these laws "Umstülpbare dice" and his very own rhythmic movement in the sequence basis, the entire ministry of Paul Schatz. order was a third cause of movement, the rhythmic and pulsating inversion (inversion) was found, and in addition to the two traditional basic movements, rotation (turn) and translation (rectilinear motion), set in place. It was found that this new movement makes numerous technical creations.


While studying the laws of inversion, Paul Schatz also discovered a large number of new and interesting solids created by the movements of the edges, corners, and diagonals of cubes. Paul Schatz called them time or polysomatic forms, as they render the movement of inversion visible in space. These forms - such as the inversion hall, the edge-cuboid, the pole-cuboid, or others - show some relation to living forms seen in nature. Time and again, Paul Schatz sought to apply these forms to architecture and his own architectonic designs.
