Borromean Seifert Surfaces by LAURENTIUS LAB.
Borromean Seifert Surfaces by LAURENTIUS LAB.
Witness this unique merging of fashion technology with geometry, calculus and humour. New textile production methods go hand in hand with playful mathematics. Did you know that certain weaving patterns follow the logic of Escher's prints? That new fractals are being invented every day?

Stretch fabric meets Knot Theory

The "Textile Borromean Seifert Surfaces" have not been shown in The Netherlands. DDW has the scoop.

Tessellation meets fashion

The "Dancing Houndstooth" comic was selected for the challenge of the International Day of Mathematics (Pi day 2023).

Complex numbers meet houndtooth

The "Friends of Mandelbrot" artworks are based on equations similar to those of the most famous fractal. Squaring complex numbers leads to squaring a Pacman or a houndstooth tile.
