The Archimedean solids

In 250 B.C. Archimedes developed the Platonic solids further. The Archimedean solids consist – as the Platonic solids – of equally long edges. However not all forms are congruent, but can also consist of different, regular polygons.

In the same way as Archimedes developed his great thoughts further, Berliner Seilfabrik finds continuously new constructive solutions – on the basis of the geometric ideas of the old masters.

The Archimedean solids (here a diagram by Johannes Kepler) are a further development of the Platonic forms. We also transform those for play equipment as e.g. the Merkur shown above.
