Tile combinations

Choose a Patchwork tile group and compare periodic schemes with deterministic irregular placements.

Mode

Tile color

Background

30 columns x 15 rows

Regular patterns repeat a finite motif across the square grid, drawing on the periodic schemes catalogued by Truchet and Douat. Irregular patterns place each tile with a seeded random sequence, so the composition stays reproducible while losing translational symmetry.

Create your own patterns

When a group clicks, take it into the app and build your own composition with the same mosaics, colors, and rotations.

Patterns are generated in the browser from the selectable Patchwork tile groups.
