We formulate geometric conditions induced by the compact set K⊂Rm×nK\subset\mathcal{R}^{m\times n}, which imply existence of a Lipschitz solution uu to the differential inclusion Du∈KDu\in K. The solutions are obtained using the convex integration method. We illustrate our result for the known example K=SO(2)∪SO(2)BK=SO(2)\cup SO(2)B, where BB is a 2×22\times2 diagonal matrix with det⁡B=1\det B=1
