Since I was a young boy, and my father gave me an Erector Set for Christmas in the early 60’s, I have been fascinated by construction toys and architectural blocks. The other day I came upon an elegant little cube called the Tecus Cube, which is basically an Architectural block. It is manufactured by Naef in Switzerland
The design of this cube is based on the Golden Ratio. (See the Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio )
I have always been better with images than words, so in an effort to understand this cube, I have taken the time to draw it out. If you want a copy, first click on the image. Then in the new window click your right mouse button and select “Save Picture As”. Then save the image to “My Pictures” on your computer.
Naef has an American outlet which can be found here: http://www.naefusa.com/ While you’re there, take time to look around. They have some very creative products.
