Kolam is a traditional geometric art form from South India, mostly practiced by women who use rice or chalk dust to draw a pattern of curves and lines around a grid of dots.

Kolam Tiles adapt this art form into a combination of art, mathematics, and play. These tiles are designed by Amy Alznauer and Venkat Gopalan, and laser engraved in Saint Paul, MN, using 3/16" thick domestic maple.
