The Mathematics in Polyhedrons and Pots

It sounds a bit complicated, but the explanation is worth the effort – apparently there are only five regular polyhedrons in the world, and the dodecahedron is the most stable shape of them. Using this shape in an innovative form, we have the 12 Faces of Structure – Potholder; an interesting take on geometry.

As he explains it, “I have tried to disassemble the dodecahedron as two halves with 6 structures of each as a potholder on the table. When using, just take a half and unfold on the table so you could put the pot on it. It could be combined as a dodecahedron again with its magnet core.”

An interesting interface!
