Sankakkei | Bianco series
Sankakkei is a 3 dimensional geometric fractal puzzle, a customizable Art gift, a learning tool, or use the seeds (nodes) and rods to create your own designs. The user can rebuild the Sankakkei 3 dimensional geometric sculpture and learn more about the geometric forms and ratios based on sacred geometry.
The Sankakkei seed collection consists of 4 seeds which enables you to build the 5 platonic solids, the 5 basic forms Plato described in which every other form is derived. I used the Star Tetrahedron ‘seed’ (node) for my prototype, which enables you to build the Tetrahedron, Octahedron, Star Tetrahedron, Vector Equilibrium, Isotropic Vector Matrix, 64-Tetrahedron Cube and any other structure with tetrahedronal axis.
I designed the packaging in line with the geometry of the product, and translated the 3D-model into a 2D graphic (in multiple ways and meanings). The colors of the package are identical to the colors of the contents. The package designs are still prototypes, but I aim to create a stylized packaging to complete Sankakkei into an inspiring product/gift to share with others.

Sankakkei –Japanese for triangle– is inspired by, and based on, sacred geometry. For everyone new to this subject, sacred geometry has nothing to do with religion in particular, but it’s called sacred, because it’s a kind of geometry which is universal. It’s as old as we know, Pythagoras and Plato have written about it, Leonardo da Vinci and Fibonacci studied it and Beethoven and Mozart used it in their music. It penetrates and connects all things in life.
Sacred geometry is the basis and essence of life itself – like a blueprint for everything (of all creation). It unifies every field of interest, and not only the different fields within a given field, which normally contradict each other, e.g. in science: the micro and the macro, from atom to planet, where the laws for our inner cosmos don’t apply to our outer cosmos. But also every other aspect of life, from geography to music, spirituality, religion, biology and even psychology.
Therefor the forms of the Sankakkei 3D geometric sculptures are related to many different fields of interest, and packaged with a stylized corresponding packaging, turns this product in a beautiful and inspiring gift.
The 64-Tetrahedron Cube
This beautiful structure consists of 63 seeds and 224 rods and is formed by merging the edges of 8 Star Tetrahedron Bianco series together into the 64-Tetrahedron Cube, and revealing the new form ‘Vector Equilibrium’ in two scales, the inner core and outer edge.
The Vector Equilibrium, as its name describes, is the only geometric form wherein all of the vectors are of equal length and angular relationship (60° angles throughout). And it is the complete opposite of the Star Tetrahedron with 8 tetrahedra pointing inwards instead of outwards. From a physics standview it represents the ultimate and perfect condition wherein the movement of energy comes to a state of absolute equilibrium, and therefore absolute stillness and nothingness. As Buckminster Fuller states, because of this it is the zero-phase from which all other forms emerge.
The 64-Tetrahedron Cube has both sides of the spectrum, the ‘absolute nothingness’ (vector equilibrium) and the absolute expansion (star tetrahedron). It represents the total, the alpha and the omega, the inner and the outer. It also shows how to divide to infinity (in a scale of 8) within a finite boundry. And above all… it’s a beautiful geometric sculpture to look at!
