Thalès is an allover  women’s sweater featuring a pattern of overlapping triangles across its entire surface. A style that combines rigor and softness in a graphic and contemporary design. Its name is a nod to Thales of Miletus, the Greek scholar and pioneer of mathematics, whose famous theorem on triangles inspired this interplay of repeated shapes.
Thalès est un pull féminin uni, qui déploie sur toute sa surface un motif de triangles superposés. Un modèle qui allie rigueur et douceur dans un design graphique et contemporain.
Son nom est un clin d’œil à Thalès de Milet, savant grec et pionnier des mathématiques, dont le célèbre théorème sur les triangles a inspiré ce jeu de formes répétées.

Thalès is a straight-sweater with a round neckline. The pattern covering the entire sweater is formed of overlapping and offset triangles made with purl stitches on stockinette stitch.
