Now offering your choice of Sacred Geometry coaster designs, laser cut from sustainably-grown Baltic Birch Plywood with an boiled linseed oil finish to seal. Approximate dimensions are 3.75" X 3.75" X 0.2" (Hypercube Tesseract) or 4.25" x 3.75" X 0.2" (Vector Equilibrium). These coasters are also customizable, please contact us for more info! There may be some scorch marks remaining from the laser cutting process - this is normal as this manufacturing technique uses a high-powered light to burn through the wood. Made to order and ships within ~1 week from our San Francisco Bay Area studio.
In geometry, the Tesseract, commonly called the Hypercube, is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube; the tesseract is to the cube as the cube is to the square. Just as the surface of the cube consists of six square faces, the hypersurface of the tesseract consists of eight cubical cells. It is said that study of this shape can allow access to higher states of consciousness.
Buckminster Fuller discovered the significance of the CubeOctahedron shape as the Vector Equilibrium. It is the only geometric form where all of the vectors are of equal length. This includes both from the center point out to the outer vertices, as well as the edges connecting all of the outer vertices. From an energetic perspective, the Vector Equilibrium represents the ultimate and perfect condition where the movement of energy comes to a state of absolute equilibrium, and therefore absolute stillness and nothingness. As Fuller states, because of this it is the zero-phase from which all other forms emerge.
