Symmetrix The Natura
Where geometry meets nature – a collection born from precision, balance, and artistic exploration.
Symmetrix – The Natura captures the harmony of geometric forms and organic balance. What began as my graduation project, Mathematic Geometry, has evolved into a growing collection that celebrates symmetry, materials, and innovation.
From Mathematic Geometry
to Symmetrix The Natura
This collection finds its roots in my graduation project from the Utrecht School of the Arts, initially known as Mathematic Geometry. The designs, which have been showcased at prestigious events like Milan Design Week, now continue their journey under the name Symmetrix – The Natura. The new name reflects a broader vision – one that blends the precision of geometry with the organic beauty of nature

Exploring the Boundaries Between Mathematics, Nature, and Design
The Symmetrix – The Natura collection is rooted in the harmonious intersection of mathematics and the natural world. Inspired by concepts like the Golden Ratio and Platonic solids, each piece is an exploration of symmetry, balance, and light.
My journey began with the creation of the KLDSCP-Polyhedron, a reflective sculpture that embodies the perfection of the icosahedron, one of nature’s most symmetrical forms. This mathematical marvel became the foundation for an evolving body of work, including the Spiked Hexa Pentakis Truncated Icosahedron (SHPTI-G21) and the award-nominated PLUME-M22.
While the polished metal forms anchor the designs in strength, the addition of glass and floral elements softens their structure, creating a captivating interplay between the sturdy and the delicate. Sunlight transforms these sculptures, casting intricate patterns that celebrate the synergy of geometry and organic beauty.
KLDSCP-Polyhedron
The journey of Symmetrix – The Natura begins with the KLDSCP-Polyhedron, a striking exploration of the icosahedron. This form, one of the five Platonic solids, is a mathematical masterpiece found in nature but often overlooked. Crafted from polished stainless steel, the KLDSCP-Polyhedron is a celebration of symmetry and light, with every angle casting mesmerizing reflections.
This design embodies the philosophy behind the collection: uncovering the hidden beauty of mathematical principles and making them tangible through reflective art.
SHPTI-G21
The Spiked Hexa Pentakis Truncated Icosahedron (SHPTI-G21) pushes the boundaries of geometry and design. Inspired by the truncated icosahedron, this piece transforms a robust aluminum framework into a visual spectacle of natural and geometric harmony. Adorned with 3D-geprinte flowers in sunny yellow, de SHPTI-G21 forms an exciting contrast between technical precision and natural softness. As (sun)light dances through its perforated structure, the sculpture casts enchanting shadows that highlight the dynamic interplay between strength and delicacy.
PLUME - M22
With the PLUME-M22, the Symmetrix – The Natura collection embraces fragility and complexity. This geometric chandelier blends precision-cut glass and aluminum floral connectors to create a suspended sculpture that refracts light into stunning rainbow patterns. The PLUME-M22 debuted at the Milan Design Week, where it was nominated for a prestigious light design award.
This model not only introduces glass into the collection but also represents the artistic direction of future designs: a fusion of bold geometry and delicate materials that captivate the senses.

Symmetrix The Natura
A Collection in Motion
The Symmetrix – The Natura collection is constantly evolving, with each new design pushing the boundaries of mathematical beauty and natural inspiration. The collection’s first release, LUXON-VOID, marks the beginning of this journey, blending technical precision with the serene elegance of nature. This piece offers a glimpse into what’s next for this ever-expanding line of work, as I continue to explore new possibilities within these intertwined worlds.
As the collection grows, I am thrilled to announce that more innovative objects will be realized and made available for sale in the near future. From striking sculptures to captivating lighting installations, each piece will be crafted with the same commitment to detail and authenticity that defines the collection. These works aren’t just functional; they are meant to transform spaces and provoke thought, offering a timeless balance between geometry and the natural world.
What’s Next?
The journey is just beginning. Keep an eye on the upcoming releases, where I’ll introduce new objects that embody the essence of Symmetrix – The Natura. Stay tuned for more information on how you can own a piece of this collection.
