TREND ALERT: DODECAHEDRON!

May 7, 2012

bathroom with stand alone tub, a large window with floor length curtains, tile floor and a dodecahedron light

Dodecahedron. Hmmmm. For some reason this multifaceted shape seems to be popping up everywhere in design. You might ask…what is a dodecahedron? I asked that myself a few months ago when the word came up during a conversation. (Don’t ask how it came up in a conversation but it did…and it has been coming up almost every day for the last 2 months…I know…strange)

Here’s the definition from Wikipedia:
In geometry, a dodecahedron is any polyhedron with twelve flat faces…It is composed of 12 regular pentagonal faces, with three meeting at each vertex, and is represented by the Schläfli symbol {5,3}. It has 20 vertices and 30 edges.

Uh, what? Translation? I think simply put, a dodecahedron means a 12 sided figure.

Seems the design world is fascinated by this multifaceted shape. I like it too! After I first heard the word, then saw the shape, I kept seeing it everywhere I turned in design…take a look!

Do you like this multifaceted shape or is it too much geometry for you? Please do tell.

Happy Monday!

    I love it! The many faces of design…especially when the geometry transcends the 2d look to create 3d effects…here’s where color is key! Love that bathroom shot…pinning!

    Peace. Love. LOL!

    I hated geometry in high school (yes, I can remember back that far) but I could love a dodecahedron, if only because it is fun to say.

    LOL, totally agree. They are everywhere. I got so wrapped up in it, I bought a RL polyhedron pendant at Home Goods for super cheap and there’s nowhere to put it in my house… NO WHERE. Darn!

    Did a post on it a while back, too! Great minds…

Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tou Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tour of the rental house we had in Edgartown on MV this summer. A new build about 5 minutes from the center of town. 3500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and a pool. House bad that beach house or coastal style decor. We were the first to rent it. What do you think? Would you rent thjs? Do you want to see the bedrooms?
It was our 2nd summer on the Vineyard. Next year, we are renting for the month. Same house. 💃🏾 I would love a bit bigger so more people could come but finding good rentals is hard on the Vineyard. Feel very lucky to have spent a magical few weeks in this spot.

Comment YES if you want to see a tour of this Mart Comment YES if you want to see a tour of this Martha's Vineyard house. I rented this house for our two week stay in Martha's Vineyard. A few minutes walk to the center of Edgartown. The house was heaven. We were the first renters to stay in this newly built house.
