Hyperform

The Hyperform is created from a rectangle formed by four equal squares, twisting the corners of the 2 short ends’ extremities towards the centre of the band and then twirling back to join the short ends of the rectangle with each other, so it finally looks like 2 magician’s hats joined together.

This Hyperform is considered as “simple,” however Koman also created “complicated” hyperforms using rectangles that consist of more than four equal squares.

Koman has registered the Hyperform shape in 1971 at the Swedish Patent Office.
