Tetracedron Planus Vacuus


A wooden model to assemble, inspired by the famous drawings by Leonardo da Vinci for the De Divina Proportione. Each triangular face of the solid is made of 3 laser-cut elements in 4 mm birch plywood. These are glued with PVA glue (not included), while the angled joints fit together without glue, though gluing them is recommended for extra strength and long- term stability.

The kit includes 12 triangle segments and 12 joints, and is quick to assemble thanks to the simplicity of the shape.

This model represents the “planus vacuus” version of the Tetracedron, the regular Platonic tetrahedron with all faces opened. The final result is a light, elegant geometric sculpture, ideal for modern interiors, creative workspaces, educational contexts, or museum bookshops.

Despite the small number of components, the construction requires careful alignment of the joints. This item is part of a series of geometric solids designed to physically recreate the figures illustrated by Leonardo in Luca Pacioli’s treatise, serving educational, artistic, and contemplative purposes.
