Alcazar
An interlocking pinwheel tile drawn from the geometry of Moorish-Spanish palace floors - dense, locking forms where the arms of one figure fit the notches of the next.
Islamic
Star-and-polygon patterns, girih strapwork, zellij mosaic, and the wider Islamic and Mediterranean geometric tradition.
Arabic Fourfold
A four-fold star-and-cross figure repeated across the plane. Drawn from the carved ceilings and tile floors of mosque architecture.
Celosia
Overlapping eight-pointed stars that meet in a field of crosses - the open geometry of a celosÃa, the pierced screen of Moorish and Spanish architecture.
Girih
Stars and straps interlocking across the plane - the geometric strapwork that runs through Islamic architecture from Morocco to Central Asia.
Hex Grate
A six-fold lattice of pierced grilles - the dense geometric weave that runs through Islamic latticework and Japanese kumiko.
Ogee Trellis
The ogee - the doubled-S arch of an Islamic gateway - pulled into a trellis that fills the plane.
Star Lattice
A dense lattice of interlocking stars - the star-and-polygon geometry that runs through Islamic latticework and Renaissance pavement design.
