![]() ![]() Spread Rhombi, Designed and Folded by Peter Keller In this next image you can see how you can continue the pattern indefinitely if you have large enough paper. Promises, Designed and Folded by Alessandro Beber I’ve the 3D look of Alessandro Beber’s tessellations. Mystery, Designed and Folded by Ilan Garibi Here’s a fantastic classic style tessellation pattern. Inspiration-L, Designed and Folded by Ekaterina Lukasheva Here’s another fantastic example of an origami corrugation. Penrose+, Designed and Folded by Alessandro Beber Alessandro Beber is an expert at weaving in different shapes and designs into the pattern. This is an absolutely incredible tessellation. Heptamerous ver 3, Designed and Folded by Ilan Garibi Here’s an example of a tessellation with a backlight. A Star, Designed and Folded by Jun MitaniĬrease pattern available from Jun Mitani’s website These tessellations are kind of fractal in design with the pattern getting smaller towards the middle and larger towards the outside. This next image is a third type of tessellation called a Recursive Tessellation. Escher Stairs, Designed and Folded by Ilan Garibi Escher’s Ascending and Descending stairs artwork. Instructions available in Origami Tessellations: Awe-Inspiring Geometric Designs Double Triangle Sawtooth, Designed by Miguel Blanco Munoz and Folded by Beth Johnson Here’s a flowery looking classic tessellation. Adulthood, Designed and Folded by Ilan Garibi You can see how the paper is folded into waves and is all one layer, especially when compared to the previous example. This next model is an example of a corrugation. Basket Weave Tessellation, Designed by Joel Cooper and Folded by Tom Crain (Photo by Evan Zodl) It was photographed at an origami convention. Our first image for this post is a basket weave classic tessellation. This post features a collection of mostly classic tessellations and corrugations. There are a couple other types of tessellations and even combinations of them in the same model. You can see the entire surface of the paper and it doesn’t look that neat to put a light behind it. There’s always an odd number of layers since the paper needs to always be folded back on itself to continue the pattern.īecause different sections of the tessellations have different numbers of layers you can turn on a light behind the tessellation for some neat effects.Ĭorrugations are made with one layer and the tessellation pattern is formed with wrinkles and waves in the paper. The paper in these tessellations is folded into an odd number of layers to make the shapes and patterns. There are 2 major types of tessellations, the classic type and corrugations.Ĭlassic tessellations are usually based on either a square or hexagonal grid. Maybe I'll come up with something else that works.Origami tessellations are essentially patterns, folded with origami, that repeat themselves as long as you want to continue folding. This still looks really nice but not what I wanted. technically this model would be possible if the paper was way thinner but It would be more prone to ripping. This is the doubled grid using A3 format paper.Īfter a certain point there were just too many corners layered on top of each other, biggest problem with this is it causes a distance shift at the inner corners of the hexagons. ![]() Next I was really hoping to make a bigger version of this, half aware it wouldn't work. The next best thing is to keep folding using the leftover crumpled paper, I decided to make it zig-zag by spinning the hexagon twist clock-wise/counter-clockwise. Because of the way hexagon twists function there's a strip on the side which you can neutralize in a couple ways but that would defeat the purpose of the pattern. Things got very messy and interesting fast. Next I was wondering what If I did the same outwards pattern using hexagons on a triangle grid. Looks interesting but way too similar to the last one which was this: I first had an idea, what if I made the tessellation I invented before and make a diagonal square grid. ![]()
