Summary:

The result of many years of research by its designer, Friederich Reinhard Brüderlin, Zeta comprises four white cubes or blocks, each made up of 3 interlocking elements cut stereometrically. These permit the assembly of an extraordinary number and variety of structures and sculptural forms in which the relationship between the solid masses and the spaces in and around them is brought into focus.
