Chile
Five years after returning from New York City to Chile, with a Masters degree of Science in Architecture and seven months pregnant, Lilian Gendelman together with her husband decided to create a digital fabrication woodshop in 2010. CNC cutting services were offered, so scraps of various materials began to accumulate. As a result, the idea arose, to begin designing with client's leftovers. There were professionals and machines available, and sometimes dead hours between works, they just had to design according to the remaining material. As follows, over the years, different furniture, home accessories and of course Tri, emerged. Then, Lilian creates CNC Objects in 2022, and the first products were the Tri game in different versions. There are already others available, but always with the purpose of generating a circular and fair trade economy. Durable and sustainable products, including their packaging. Design has to be innovative, sustainable and functional. In order to bring it closer to people. Access Lili Gendelman Newsroom

Construction Toy
Tri is a wooden construction toy that offers the possibility of creating unlimited shapes. It combines the tradition of wooden toys with contemporary design. Classic carpentry meets today's sustainable materials, technologies and techniques. It is both a creative game, made for fun, and a design object created to inspire art lovers. Tri prompts imagination, motor skills, decision-making and concentration. It explores geometry, balance and spatial composition. Each piece is hand-finished with non-toxic natural oils, providing a smooth effect that highlights the wood's natural grain.
