The beauty of spiral phyllotaxis patterns can be seen in sunflowers and pinecones. Harmonious properties of this pattern have been unraveled with mathematical precision: Fibonacci sequence, symmetry, and the golden ratio. The building blocks for 3D printed lamp designs by STUDIO BL - Bastiaan Luijk.
Visual language of nature
Spiral phyllotaxis is a recurring theme in the work of STUDIO BL - Bastiaan Luijk. Phyllotaxis is a scientific word used in botany to describe the arrangement of leaves around an axis or stem. Spiral phyllotaxis can be seen as a pattern in the heads of sunflowers. This pattern can be constructed with a mathematical formula, as proposed by Helmut Vogel in 'A better way to construct the sunflower head' in 1979. This formula describes the pattern in the flat plane (2D). STUDIO BL has developed a method and algorithm to construct the spiral phyllotaxis pattern as a spatial structure for 3D designs. The studio creates these nature-inspired designs to share the beauty of nature, bringing it closer and appreciating it in new ways.
About the exhibition
During Dutch Design Week 2022, Studio BL - Bastiaan Luijk, Frida van der Poel and Mariëtte Wolbert Textiles like to exhibit their collaborative projects and individual work as makers of lighting, furniture, and textiles. The work is a mix of craft and innovative techniques. The prototypes are for sale and are made to order in the Netherlands. Be welcome, you are invited!
