mathematic geometry
graduation work
Inspired by the astonishing forms in nature, Mathematic Geometry celebrates the invisible patterns that surround us. This collection reflects a vibrant symphony of form and structure, inspired by the timeless perfection of the golden ratio, the simplicity of platonic solids,
This work originated as my graduation project at the Utrecht School of the Arts (HKU), a tribute to the harmony between mathematics and nature. Each piece in Mathematic geometry embodies the expression of my fascination with the perfect balance between the mathematical essence and the organic beauty of nature.
Mathematic Geometry is more than just light objects; it is an ode to symmetry.

Stainless Steel
The journey of Mathematic Geometry starts with the creation of the KLDSCP-Polyhedron, a fusion of mathematics and reflective art. The term “KLDSCP” reflects my quest for captivating reflections in polished stainless steel.
At its core, the KLDSCP-Polyhedron encompasses the icosahedron, one of the five Platonic solids. Although these geometric structures exist in nature, they often slip by unnoticed. The icosahedron radiates with its brilliant symmetry, resembling a true mathematical masterpiece.
SHPTI-G21
floral geometry
In the captivating interplay between mathematics and nature, both the icosahedron and its relative, the truncated icosahedron, came together to create the Spiked Hexa Pentakis Truncated Icosahedron (SHPTI-G21). This perforated aluminum masterpiece, adorned with sunny yellow 3d printed floral connectors, narrates a compelling tale. It’s not merely about contrasting with geometric design; it leads a visual spectacle where the sturdy structure of the material harmoniously merges with the natural, feminine grace of the floral patterns.
As sunlight dances through the perforations, casting enchanting patterns, the SHPTI-G21 transforms into a vibrant tribute to the collaboration between nature and mathematics. Each petal and spike carries a story of harmony, where the strength of the material walks hand in hand with the refined complexity of natural forms. In this enchanting fusion, the SHPTI-G21 stands as an ode to the delicate interplay between precision and organic beauty, inviting you into a world where geometry and nature embrace each other in a graceful dance.
PLUME-G21
metal and Glass
With the unveiling of PLUME-G21, I am elevating the “Mathematic Geometry” collection to new heights. This unique geometric chandelier, featuring aluminum flower connectors and panels of cut glass, has not only become a personal favorite but has also earned a prestigious design award nomination during the Milan Design Week under the category light design.
The use of glass, inspired by leftover samples from my graduation project, has resulted in stunning shapes making their debut with PLUME-G21. This is just a glimpse of what the upcoming year holds, as I plan to develop more of these enchanting forms and officially incorporate them into the growing collection that will be available for sale.
PLUME-G21 dazzles with its rainbow effects, suspended gracefully on steel cables precisely aligned with the ceiling. The fusion of aluminum and cut glass creates a visual spectacle that not only stimulates the senses but also adds a new dimension to the “Mathematic Geometry” experience.
