Abstract

We discuss two wild embeddings of the sphere in the Euclidean space: the Alexander horned sphere and the Fox-Artin sphere. After explaining the mathematical properties carried by these two embeddings, we present 3D printed models of these objects. The models have been designed to be decorative table-top sculptures while being simple enough to serve as supports for mathematical discussions.
