The Craighill 'Tetra' is an elegant, tetrahedral brainteaser toy for those seeking out a way to enhance the appearance of their workstation, while also encouraging a sense of play. The toy is designed in two finishes to choose from including brushed stainless steel and PVD-coated black, which are both comprised of four pieces that interconnect together to form the pyramidal shape. The pieces must be removed from one another to be solved, which is encouraged to be timed to see how long it takes a person to achieve success.

The Craighill 'Tetra' is part of a larger shift towards playful decor pieces with a high-end design aesthetic to make them suited for placement in a modern office. The toy could help to keep a person's hands busy as they work, take calls or simply brainstorm.
