Peg Inspiration for this product design came from the one person game of triangular peg solitare. The game fills the entire board with pegs except for the center hole. The objective is to empty the entire board without removing the solitary peg that is in the centerhole. The organic shape of each of the pegs is incorporated into the design of the console table that would be best placed in a residental or commercial setting.
