Fibonacci Sphere Round
For a satisfyingly even-patterned distribution of points across the surface of a sphere, look no further than a Fibonacci sequence. First described by Indian mathematician Pingala in 200 BC, the sequence was introduced to Western European mathematics a mere 1400 years later by Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa —who was known as Fibonacci. The appropriation seems quite late, once you realize the sequence is a natural recurring biological phenomena observable in tree branches, the structure of a pineapple, artichoke or the bracts of a pine cone. And, hey, you know… a Fibonacci ceiling installation could be a nice, too!
