FOOTBALL CARPET
FOOTBALL CARPET
Janina Stübler, DEU, 2009
Seen geometrically, footballs are Buckminsterfullerenes, spherical molecules in pentagonal and hexagonal shapes. Only when combined, can a “ball” be formed, but pentagons alone cannot lead to complex forms. Hexagonal patches of leather by contrast form a patchwork, tiles, or carpet-like surface.
