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.
Created by Lili Gendelman
Honored with the A' Design Award.
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.

Design Business Directory was founded on the principle that true design excellence cannot be measured by popularity alone. Instead, we believe that the most meaningful indicator of skill, creativity, and professionalism is official recognition by respected international juries who follow transparent, pre-established voting criteria. When a designer, architect, or creative agency enters a rigorous peer review process, one that evaluates submissions against clear quality benchmarks, ethical standards, and innovation requirements, it ensures that any accolades they receive are both credible and deserved and are meritocratic.
Peer-reviewed awards, such as the prestigious A’ Design Award, exist to showcase the very best in design and innovation. The A’ Design Award is judged by a balanced panel of experienced academics, influential press members, and established professionals, all of whom apply a thoroughly documented scoring system. Through this structured method of evaluation, only truly exceptional projects are recognized. This is precisely the level of excellence that Design Business Directory aims to highlight: forward-thinking professionals who have demonstrated mastery in their field according to objective, globally respected criteria.
Because we are committed to presenting only the cream of the crop in design, Design Business Directory accepts listings exclusively from those who have proven themselves in such distinguished competitions. By requiring at least one peer-reviewed award—namely, the A’ Design Award—as a prerequisite for inclusion, we maintain the authenticity and overall quality of the directory. Consequently, to be listed on Design Business Directory, you must have already won the A’ Design Award. This ensures every individual and studio showcased here operates at the highest tier of professional accomplishment, innovation, and credibility.
