Islamic-style tessellation and ornamental grids
Geometric ornament — the rosette tessellations of Islamic art, the angular logic of a Kufic lattice — is built from strict rotational symmetry. This tool generates that structure parametrically, so you get historically-flavored pattern without drafting every line by hand.
Switch between a filled rosette and a linear Kufic mode, set the number of turns (the order of symmetry), and control tile size and stroke weight. The result tiles seamlessly as a repeating vector.
Dialing it in
- Pick rosette for filled petal geometry or Kufic for an angular line lattice.
- Set Turns to change the symmetry order — 6, 8 and 10 give classic results.
- Balance Tile size against Stroke for the density you want.
- Color the ink and accent, then export the seamless SVG.
Good for
- museum, exhibition and cultural graphics
- textile and surface pattern studies
- packaging and label ornament
- editorial section motifs
FAQ
What does the Turns control actually change?
It sets the order of rotational symmetry — how many times the motif repeats around its center. Higher turns give finer, more intricate rosettes; lower turns read bolder.
Is this historically accurate ornament?
It's inspired by, not a reproduction of, traditional construction. It captures the symmetry and feel; for a faithful historical pattern you'd still want a reference draft.
Does it tile seamlessly for a large surface?
Yes — it's built on a repeating tile, so you can scale it across a wall-sized print or a full-page background without breaks.
