Packaging Forms
The five polyhedral solids were first discovered carved in stone, dating back to the Neolithic era around 2000 BCE. These primal shapes are believed to help us access the healing and nurturing aspects of ourselves. The classical Greek philosopher Plato arranged the solids in order of increasing geometric complexity, an order that parallels principles of molecular and cellular growth in modern science. The periodic table of elements is also organized around these same five geometric forms. Plato reasoned that the five cosmic elements (Fire, Earth, Air, Water, and Sky/Æther) were embodied by these shapes, based on their physical properties.
