Fourier 1 — Catalogue Computational Textile Design
A study in generative harmony

Fourier1

A layered composition — a tree of circles, a tree of branches, and a luminous parametric curve — algorithmically drawn, seed-documented, and ready for textile production.

For fashion houses, textile studios and surface designers. Each composition is generated from a single numeric seed and can be licensed, adapted or commissioned to your brief.

A curve, when it is summed from sines, becomes a harmony — periodic, precise, quietly yours.

I am an Iranian-born artist working at the intersection of classical ornament and generative systems. My work begins with a simple observation: the parametric curve — summed from layered sines and cosines — has always carried the structure of ornament. From the Fourier series that decomposes any periodic motion into pure tones, to the geometric curves of a Persian garden plan, harmony is one of the oldest systems of mathematical beauty we have.

Fourier 1 is a seed-based generative system that translates that harmony into code. Each composition is layered in three passes: a tree of filled circles clipped inside a circle, a tree of branch lines clipped outside the same circle, and a luminous parametric curve drawn over both. The result is a dense, layered field that reads as both astronomy and botany.

The palette, the tree structures, the curve frequencies, and the harmonic terms are all derived from a single numeric seed. Each piece can be regenerated, documented, and adapted for textile, print, and surface applications — from scarves and yardage to wallpaper and archival print.

On AI tools — where I encountered technical obstacles, I turned to AI tools for debugging and code optimization. Every structural, aesthetic, and conceptual decision remained my own.
01 / Plate

Summed,
not just drawn.

02 / Surfaces

One composition.
Many surfaces.

The same seed, presented as an archival print — and applied across fabric, scarf, textile and wall surfaces without loss of structure.

Applied across surfaces.

Every surface below is drawn from the same numeric seed — its repeat, orientation and scale adapted to the material, while the underlying structural logic remains identical.

Structure
behind the harmony.

01 / Seed

Variation

A numeric seed initializes the palette, the tree depths, the curve frequencies, and the harmonic coefficients. Each composition is regenerated and documented as a distinct, traceable output.

02 / Layer

Geometry

Three superimposed structures: a filled tree of circles clipped inside a ring, a branching tree of lines clipped outside it, and a parametric curve summed from four sines and four cosines drawn over both.

03 / Surface

Application

The resulting composition becomes a surface-design asset — explored across garments, textile prints, wallpaper and other pattern-driven applications.

One system.
Many surfaces.

Fourier 1 is a generative design system rather than a single artwork. Its layered, harmonic visual language can be adapted for fashion, textile development and other surface-oriented contexts — while maintaining a computational origin.
