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

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
