Artifact Quilt

from $300.00

Introducing the Artifact Quilt from the Spolia Collection. Each design in the Artifact series features a proposition diagram from Greek mathematician Euclid's Elements, echoing the geometric shapes found in the Frankish castle walls. The foundational shapes are pieced together in marble-like neutral tones, while colorful thread marks the angles, ratios, and relationships within the shapes. Euclid saw math as a way to perceive pattern, beauty, symmetry, and interconnection – this quilt celebrates that vision. Blurring the lines between math and art, the Artifact Quilt brings a touch of classical elegance and intellectual depth to your home decor.

    Each quilt is made to order just for you. Please allow 4-6 weeks for production.

  • Machine wash delicate in cold water with a gentle detergent. Tumble dry low or lay flat to dry.

    Fabric will crinkle slightly after the first wash and will soften with use and love.

  • Add a hanging sleeve to turn your quilt into a piece of wall art. The sleeve is made with the same fabric as the quilt back and lies flat when not hanging, so you can still use it as a quilt. Simply slide a rod through the sleeve and hang on each end.

  • Euclid was an ancient Greek mathematician who established the foundations of geometry in his writings, most notably in his treatise Elements. Each Artifact design in the Spolia Collection is a proposition diagram from Euclid’s Elements which echoes the basic geometric shapes distilled from the Frankish castle wall. The foundational shapes are pieced in the neutral tones of marble and each design is quilted with colorful thread to mark the angles, ratios, and relationships within the shapes. Euclid understood math as yet another fundamental way of seeing and being in the world, of sensing pattern, beauty, symmetry, and interconnection, and these designs seek to convey and celebrate the beauty within the mathematical diagrams themselves, blurring the boundaries between the disciplines of math and art.
