FIBRE 300 - The Quatrefoil

Here's another discount art education lesson ;-D Part of my homework was also listening to this episode of the 99% Invisible podcast. It's an amazing podcast about all the little details that make the world work but we take for granted. For example, you may have noticed this shape everywhere and on everything:


Quatrefoil


It's a quatrefoil, a motif that suddenly is shorthand for fancy and luxurious but was also around since the middle ages. Why is the quatrefoil so fascinating? Listen to the podcast to find out! It's only 18 minutes.
