Zoometry reveals nature’s microscopic patterns through textile craft

Looking to nature at its most intricate, RDAI and Creative Matters have translated microscopic structures into six finely crafted rugs. The Zoometry collection magnifies butterfly wings, spiderwebs and other organic forms into graphic compositions of Tibetan wool and Chinese silk. Developed through parametric modelling before being interpreted by hand, each piece contains some 1.8 million knots, with subtle imperfections preserving the presence of its maker. The result sits between technology and tradition, revealing an unexpected visual language hidden within the smallest details of the natural world.
