As Unigen, the Tangram workshop we held at the "Dialogue" event celebrating the 50th anniversary of Yapı Kataloğu became one of the most enjoyable and standout activities of the event. While playing the game, we collectively experienced how inspiring and easy to apply Dickson®’s modular products are. The combination of different colors, patterns, and textures in Dickson®’s Mirage series offers excellent opportunities to create a creative atmosphere in any space. The figures we created at the end of the workshop served as a hands-on example of the advantages our product can provide when designing a space. Additionally, we explored numerous ways to create different design variations. In this blog post, we will briefly discuss what Tangram is and what we experienced during our workshop.
Tangram
Tangram is a puzzle game formed by assembling different geometric shapes. Its origins trace back to Chinese culture, but it gained popularity in the Western world in the 19th century and remains a globally recognized game. In essence, it involves combining seven geometric shapes according to certain rules to create different figures. These shapes generally consist of two large triangles, one medium triangle, two small triangles, one square, and one parallelogram.
It is also a great method to develop intelligence and creativity. Moreover, it can be structured according to different difficulty levels, making it popular for both adults and children. Depending entirely on the creator’s imagination, a wide variety of unique and interesting figures can be formed, such as animals, buildings, and vehicles.
Dickson® Mirage Series Carpet Tiles
In our workshop, inspired by the feeling given by the Dickson® Mirage series, we drew inspiration from nature and chose to create figures like a fox, human, whale, swan, giraffe, and horse. Thanks to its modular structure and the variety of options it offers, the product became a perfect choice for use in the Tangram game.
We experienced firsthand how easy and inspiring Dickson®’s modular products are to apply, discovering the product’s potential while playing the game. We also learned about the many ways to create different design variations. This allowed us to see how spaces can be customized using Dickson® products, how they can facilitate creative designs, and even how a product alone can shape the atmosphere—or even the identity—of a space.
Different Perspectives
The main goal of our workshop was to have fun while enhancing our creativity and teamwork skills. However, gaining new ideas, meeting new people, and promoting our product in an enjoyable way were also among our objectives. Throughout the workshop, we observed that people from different sectors came together and formed new friendships, and we are delighted to see that we achieved our goals. Thanks to the potential of our product, we had the opportunity to enjoy a productive and fun weekend activity.
This interaction was very important for us. The enthusiasm and interest of the participants became a source of motivation for our future workshops. At the same time, this interaction served as an excellent example. For this reason, we are eagerly looking forward to our next event. Keep following us, because more fun and surprises await you in the future!
