Geom

For all its rather clinical sounding name, Geom has much more in common with a favourite woven textile than mathematical precision. Its inspiration comes from traditional fabrics, particularly those wonderful geometric weaves that combine simple shapes with an almost ornamental richness.

The design uses two complementary mosaic sheets, A and B, which work together to create different arrangements. Broad stripes give the pattern a more structured character, while a chequered layout brings out its decorative side. Both have the familiarity of woven cloth, where repetition and small variations create a sense of texture and depth.

Geom also borrows a little from the language of traditional kilims and other flat woven textiles. Their geometric motifs often appear remarkably contemporary, despite belonging to decorative traditions that stretch back centuries. It’s an interesting connection, particularly when translating the softness and irregularity of fabric into the more precise geometry of mosaic.

The natural variations in the marble help preserve that textile character. Rather than feeling rigid or overly calculated, Geom has a warmth and informality that makes its geometric origins feel almost incidental.
