1/5

Visual solution

What is the story behind your design?

A new non regular pentagonal form that is tileable has been discovered/ proven to tile a plane. Victorinox should, in its 2016 Limited Edition Series (designed in 2015) celebrate this in an appropriate decorative form, reminiscent of the type of surroundings one is most likely to carry an army knife into: the woods (foliage). Here in the news: http://www.theguardian.com/science/alexs-adventures-in-numberland/2015/aug/10/attack-on-the-pentagon-results-in-discovery-of-new-mathematical-tile

Is there a connection between your design and the Victorinox brand?

A Limited Edition of decorated knives is released periodically and perhaps some designs in the series should mark the year/ news that informed that period in time. And celebrate the discoveries made in science that year. Because making the perfect army knife is science.

Please make sure you have filled out your country of origin in your profile! It’s important that the regional Victorinox team understands the cultural background of your design.

romania. (and china. and holland. and germany. and austria. and switzerland. and a little bit of france)
