Peer inside the heart-shaped openings in this tealight holder and you’ll see a complex surface structure inspired by the “chordea tendineae,” thread-like bands of fibrous tissue that anchor your heart valves in place. The chordae tendineae are colloquially known as the “heart strings.”
What could be more romantic?
The heart-shaped profiles are formed by slicing precise cross-sections of the mathematic Fischer-Koch C(Y) triply periodic minimal surface.
Again, super romantic, right?
