Patterns — full download

Choose a set: a cell or a tiling, in colour (Tricolore YPM) or in greyscale (Monochrome Black), then the format — an archive of 1024 SVG files or a 1024-page PDF.

The patterns of La Livrée d'Hermès as vector files, freely available, in four sets of 1024 constructions. The cells give each pattern on its own, its 12 × 12 grid of squares; the tilings repeat it four times by four, as on a fabric. Each set comes in three colours — yellow, purple and magenta (Tricolore YPM) — or in greyscale (Monochrome Black), in two forms: a ZIP archive of 1024 SVG files, one per construction, and a 1024-page PDF, fully vector. The constructions are numbered from 000 to 1023: the bases from 000 to 255, the combinations of two axes from 256 to 767, those of three axes from 768 to 1023.

1024 counts constructions (family × pair of hues × hexagram), not shapes: these files correspond to 512 distinct grids and 256 tilings — two constructions can draw the same grid under two different families, or a grid and its half-period shift the same tiling. If two files in this set are identical, that is why.
