Our company logo is "the
impossible triangle - making
possible the impossible".
We like to think that we can find a viable
solution to your seemingly impossible
problems. Often it's just a matter
of a different perspective that we can bring to
the table - a perspective provided by a strong
combination of experience and training.
The "impossible triangle", made
from a strange two-dimensional
representation of cubes, was first created in
1934 by Swedish artist Oscar Reutersvard
(1915-200). This
link to a website for the original
artist describes the history of his rendering of
the world's first premeditated impossible figure
- a figure which at first appears reasonable
but fails upon inspection to be real.
The impossible triangle cannot be build in
3-dimensions and can only exist in 2-dimensional
drawings. Although Retersvard's triangle
was rendered in black and white, we have taken
the liberty to colour the cubes.
A different version of this
figure, independently created in 1954 by
Roger Penrose (1931-) is know as the Penrose
triangle. Penrose, a co-founder
of the "Big Bang" theory in
cosmology, described the impossible
triangle figure as, "... Impossibility in
its purest form." Penrose's triangle
is a refinement of Reutersvard's in that it is
rendered in perspective. Penrose is said
to have rediscovered the impossible triangle
after attending a lecture by the artist M. C.
Escher (1898-1972). Escher is the well
known Dutch artist whose graphic explorations of
tiling, impossible figures and regression have
inspired mathematicians and scientists for
decades. Escher incorporated the Penrose
triangle into his famous lithograph
"Waterfall" - an example can be found here
