A model of the "ambidextrous moving sofa".
This is the geometric shape with the maximum area capable of passing a hallway with a fixed width and two alternating 90° turns. The problem had been introduced by John Horton Conway and others and a possibly optimal solution was found by Dan Romik.
I made this model so the abstract mathematical shape should look more like a real (although funny shaped) sofa.
