MGX by Materialise
Gyroid.MGX

Presented: Euroluce 2007, Milan | Year of design: 2007 | Design: Bathsheba Grossman

Based on an earlier light object of the same name, the new Gyroid.MGX is known for its helix horizons, which can be seen when looking straight into one of its holes. In nature, the gyroid is found when two immiscible fluids are forced to occupy the same space. These fluids interpenetrate but do not dissolve together. The same is true for the Gyroid.MGX which divides the 3D space it occupies into two regions. These regions are identical, interlocking, and yet remain completely distinct from each other.
