Geometry embodies a fine balance between theory and form. Just like mathematical practise, these products work to create vivid three-dimensional designs.
Bringing Escher's mathematical trickery into the third dimension, this Corian vase (above) has been perfectly aligned to create the illusion of an impossible solid form. €245
Launched by the Danish silversmith in 1904, Georg Jensen jewellery combines its creator's fine-art background with forward-looking principles. This sterling silver ring incorporates the influence of geometrical invention, while extending the strip for a second loop, bringing a new twist to the classic form. £195
The eight geometric elements in this furniture range are based on the eminent mathematical physicist Roger Penrose's diamond-shaped tiling system, which can tile any plane without periodic repetition. Les Angles translates those principles into the third dimension. Its interlocking wool cushions offer a wide range of configuration options to create flexible seating arrangements and structured dividers to fit any space. Available in grey, dark grey and azure blue. From €216 to €372
A striking, luminescent Möbius strip around a cork column gives this lamp a highly unconventional exterior. Inside, however, things are more formulaic. Using the 195-year-old Fourier transform, a crystal-embedded Cortex-M4 microprocessor algorithmically analyses sound patterns 100 times a second for detection by an activating whistle. $2,300
The early days of 3D modelling demonstrated you can make just about anything from triangles - as long as you have enough of them. Mumbai-based designer Dominik Raskin has created a rug made from tessellating pieces of black stone veneer mounted on to a section of flexible cotton. This 110cm by 60cm floor covering can be laid flat or shaped into a range of angular topographical forms. £poa
