Story
From paper
The carpet by Front results from playing and bending paper.
Twisted shapes
The organic, twisted shapes resemble a serpentine swirl.
Flow, gradient, shadow
The material flows continuously and naturally and seems to come together in a mathematical way, while a colour gradient and shadow play create the illusion of a three-dimensional pattern.
