Circular forms interlock through mathematical precision, their overlapping paths creating hypnotic geometry. Delta translates Spirograph mechanics—those plastic gears tracing cycloidal curves—into pattern designed by Nicholas Baker through custom 3D-printed tools for the Metaverse 2.0 collection.
The pattern employs roulette curves: circles rolling within or around other circles generating epicycloids and hypocycloids, those mathematically determined paths Spirograph democratized as children's toy in 1965. Baker's approach uses contemporary fabrication—3D printing custom gears—to generate patterns honoring analogue origins through digital manufacturing. Intricate linework accumulates into complex geometric mandalas, each curve's precision revealing mathematical underpinning. Multiple colourways shift impact: lighter, softer palettes render complexity subtle and sophisticated, whilst bolder versions emphasize geometric intricacy. The dimensional quality emerges from overlapping transparent or tonal layers suggesting depth despite flat substrate.
Printed in Cornwall with attention to maintaining fine linework clarity essential to geometric pattern's mathematical beauty and intricate detail legibility.
Delta suits contemporary interiors valuing geometric sophistication and design process narrative. Living rooms, offices, studies where pattern provides visual interest through mathematical beauty rather than organic reference. The subtler colourways allow feature wall or full room application without overwhelming, whilst the pattern's complexity rewards sustained observation. Pairs with minimal modern furnishings, architectural lighting, spaces appreciating intersection of mathematics, craft tradition, and contemporary fabrication methods.
