[IC] The Penrose Deskmat Collection by Kreath
« on: Mon, 05 October 2020, 15:52:58 »
Hello Geekhack!
Starting around the beginning of the pandemic I have involved myself with a variety of keyboard related projects. Today I want to present the Penrose Deskmat, an eye-catching, historic, mathematical pattern. Full album. If you're interested could you please fill out the IC form here: Form Link

Black on White




Green on Green




White on Black




Date

Backstory
One of the first youtubers I ever subscribed to was Veritasium. After watching his latest video about the Infinite Patterns, I was inspired to make this beautiful historic pattern into a deskmat. The Penrose Tiling is an exmaple of aperiodic tiling, you can read more about it on the Wikipedia page here. Part of the reason the pattern is aesthetically pleasing is that it follows the golden ratio of 1.618 and follows a 5 fold symmetry pattern. I went with simple color ways to help match neutral sets and accommodate as many combinations as possible.


Specifications
900x400x4mm
Stitched Edging
Rubber non-slip bottom
