Walked on by millions. Never credited, until now.

Built from a pattern seen across São Paulo’s sidewalks, the panels form a near-perfect sphere, 12 pentagons quietly embedded in the geometry of 30 interlocking panels. Mirthes Bernardes designed it in 1965, but never saw a cent or received proper credit. This ball was named in her honor, and now lives with her family.
