TriPyramid was founded in 1989 in response to a growing need for structural hardware that was unobtrusive but elegant. The founding partners had significant experience in metallurgy, mechanical design and manufacturing gained through earlier work ranging from America’s Cup racing yachts to nuclear submarines, and from titanium bicycle frames to non-magnetic, high strength hardware for atomic particle accelerators. Bringing this experience to the world of architecture and art opened design possibilities that simply did not exist without these technologies, which were born elsewhere.
