Definition:
A tessellation is created when a shape is repeated over and over again covering a plane without any gaps or overlaps. A regular tessellation means a tessellation made up of congruent regular polygons. (Regular means that the sides of the polygon are all the same length. Congruent means that the polygons that you put together are all the same size and shape.)

Squame Spiral Tessellation

Inspired by the modular work of M.C.Esher,
in 1996 Squamificio discovered a geometric solution that was called Squame.

Squame are able to some propreties not before seen in geometry.

Squame modular shapes can do the tessellation of surfaces in all the classical periodic way:
by going straight in line, alternate, rotated, mirrored and so on...

straight	alterned	rotated	rotated - alterned

The great innovation of Squame is the ability to tessellate not just in one directional way, but also by creating curves (radial tiling). And both modes can be combined togheter.

Concentric Circles Tessellation	Curves and Straight Tesellation

The most beautifull way Squame can tessellate non periodically the plane is doing Spirals.

Squame Perfect Single Spiral

No longer limited to old mathematicals methods, with Squame, many different spirals compositions are possible.

2 Centers Spiral	3 Centers Spiral	4 Centers Spiral

Squame can generate single, double, triple, N centered spirals, depending of the shape and the angle of the module utilized and the effect desired.

By combining the differents tecnical possibilities of Squame we can discover new ways to create non periodic tessellation.
