  • Patent number: 10555429
    Abstract: A kit that includes multiple rectilinear elongate polygonal elements having five unique shapes, four of which are concave polygonal elements. In some examples, when arranged with respect to one another, the elements of the kit form a girih strapwork pattern. In one aspect, respective elements in a kit may include bezels or boarders along longer sides to enhance an over/under weaving effect of the girih strapwork pattern. In other aspects, one or more elements may be formed as a tray, and some of the trays may include various components or materials disposed in the tray (e.g., architectural surface materials, biological systems, various electronic components) to provide for a variety of creative designs and structural/sculptural installations for built environments. In some implementations, one or more such trays may have beveled rims so as to appear light and thin when viewed.

  • Publication number: 20140056003
    Abstract: Modular video and lighting displays are provided. These displays include one or more modular display tiles that may present a seamless image to a viewer. Each modular display tile has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface in addition to an array of LEDs disposed on the first surface in a hexagonal grid configuration. The array of LEDs is configured to provide at least one clean line of separation within the array at a non-right angle and thereby enable uniquely shaped modular display tiles to be created.
