Since I discovered a new geometrical form in Vienna, I have wanted to eat it. This was in 1989. The form was born as a design for a Tea Table in a Viennese residence.

The width B is its radius R, its depth T is the golden section of R or B. Its surface is R²ϕ.
Its circumference is 2Rπ/3 + 2Rϕ.

I called the new geometric form “Archiquant”, an architectural particle, a message from Vienna
to the world for human measurement and proportion. Through the everlasting presence of the irrational π and ϕ as natural constants, the Archiquant radiates familiarity. The Archiquant is a benchmark, it is the right angle of the 21st Century and he should be eaten, especially when spiced
in a Japanese way.
