The aim of this website is to create a diverse catalogue of natural tessellated systems, to highlight the ubiquity and diversity of the tessellation motif, and to open a door to curious minds, inspiring novel research, design and collaboration. This project is a collaboration of perspectives from distinct but complementary fields, including biology, design and engineering. We hope you discover a new interest or favorite creature on your visit. If you have additional content you would like to suggest, please get in touch!
