Artist Precisely Arranges Items Into Perfect Shapes and Patterns

Artist Kristen Meyer likes to arrange things. To be more specific, Meyer likes to arrange random organic items into perfectly symmetrical shapes and patterns.

For example, when given a bunch of broken crackers, Kristen puts them back together in a way that’s equal parts chaos and orderliness. Where most people see nothing more than salad ingredients, Meyer takes the opportunity to create an aesthetically-pleasing pattern that demands to be stared at.

See more of Kristen Meyer’s work below and over at Instagram. Prints are available here.

Chocolate Mill, A Large Chocolate Cylinder Containing Hidden Geometric Patterns

When it comes to chocolate… you never know what you’re gonna get. This is especially true when it comes to Chocolate Mill — a large cylinder made of chocolate that contains a series of hidden geometric patterns.

Brought to us by the collaborative efforts of Studio Wieki Somers and chocolatier Rafael Mutter, a crank-turned blade is used to reveal each layer of patterns with a kaleidoscope-type effect.

Great…but how long before we get to the nougat?

Flex Mex, The Hexaflexagon Burrito by Vi Hart

After thoroughly, and quite adorably, explaining the concept of hexaflexagons — mathemusician Vi Hart is back with a follow-up. And she’s hungry.

Where before we had paper and glue for our geometry lesson, Vi now uses a tasty burrito and guacamole to reach her conclusion. That conclusion is a very sophisticated burrito-type treat, and confirmation that we should’ve paid more attention in math class.

Choose Your Own Shape Baking Ribbon

Sick of the same old round cakes and square brownies? The Quirky Baking Ribbon can be made into any shape, for all of your geometric baking needs. The ribbon itself is made from heat-tolerant silicone, and is magnetized to stick to its included Teflon-coated steel pan.

The Baking Ribbon appears to still be in a developmental stage, but you can head over to Quirky to suggest a fair retail price. Until then, you can keep your baked goods robot head-shaped.
