we're reporting directly from this year's design indaba in cape town, south africa, where designboom participates as media partner - on now until the 25th of february, 2011. at the opening of the conference, studio dror has debuted 'quadror' - a new structural truss system, that the studio has been developing for the past four years. the story of QuaDror started in 2006. when experimenting with the geometric configuration, dror benshetrit was initially interested only in its aesthetic and flexibilitybut soon recognized the structural integrity of the assembly. the simple geometry and interlocking members - four identical L-shaped pieces,either thin, resulting in a trestle structure or thick, resulting in a solid panel - allowed for a very flexible and versatile design.
