This square magnet draws from the refined geometry and disciplined craftsmanship of the Mamluk era, a period of cultural and artistic brilliance spanning the 13th to 16th centuries. Centred in Cairo and Damascus, Mamluk design is known for its complex interlacing patterns, angular symmetry, and mathematical elegance. These forms were created not just to decorate but to reflect a deeper sense of structure and meaning.
The pattern features a layered composition of star forms and intersecting lines, capturing the clarity and balance seen in manuscripts, architecture, and carved surfaces from the period. Enclosed in a 70 millimetre square, the design feels structured yet dynamic, offering a quiet tribute to a golden age of art and learning.
Created with digital precision using premium wood filament and finished by hand, each piece is carefully sanded to sharpen its geometry and reveal subtle depth. Multiple protective finishes are applied to seal the surface and enhance contrast, resulting in a durable matte appearance. Backed with multiple magnets, it brings a thoughtful historical accent to any magnetic surface.
