Fascinated by the hidden mathematical language that rules the visible and invisible world, Kimberly from Showoff Design has created the “Mathematic Geometry” light collection.

This futuristic design project is inspired by the geometric patterns that exist as fundamental structures of life in the universe. The flower-like details perfectly shows the collaboration of nature and mathematics.

 

MATHEMATIC GEOMETRY (Graduation work, University of the Arts - Utrecht, Holland)

Shows the beauty of nature with an encounter between the mathematical language that dominates the visible and invisible world. Nature is full of geometric surprises, just think of the perfect shape of an ice crystal, the pattern of a sunflower heart, but also the body cells when we look at them microscopically. Geometric patterns exist all around us and create the fundamental structure of life in the universe.

The designs radiate a mathematical perfection, this perfection is formed from the ‘golden ratio’, which stands for its perfection and beauty, and the shapes of platonic solids, the building blocks of physical reality. The amazing thing is that these building blocks apply on almost every scale, from the microcosm to the macrocosm. It may sound strange that they really are the basic building blocks of our physical reality, but these shapes are extremely balanced and equal. And we all know that nature tends to balance things out.
