Precision tessellation. Gilded ornament. The infinite emerging from the simple — a thousand years of sacred geometry.
Deep lapis blue, gilded gold, and ivory parchment — the timeless triad of Persian-Arabic illuminated manuscripts. Emerald and burgundy add depth selectively.
Color Combinations
Primary — Gold fill with corner ornaments
Outlined — Gilded border with glow

Each aiRule governs how the Islamic Geometric style moves and responds. Interact with each demo to experience the principle in action.
Interactions maintain strict symmetry — corner ornaments expand outward in unison on hover.
Hover any tile to see symmetrical corner expansion:

duration-500 + ease-out: dignified and graceful — never bouncy, never rigid.
transition: all 0.5s ease-out — decelerates gracefully
transition: all 0.6s linear — mechanical, inelegant
ease-out decelerates naturally, like water settling into stillness. Linear is mechanical — unworthy of the style.
The Nasrid Palace geometric panels — 14th century gilded stucco tessellation from Granada. Eight-pointed star matrix, infinite repeat.
Cobalt-and-white floral tessellation from Suleiman's mosque.
Interlaced horseshoe arches forming the court of the Lions.
Six-pointed polygon matrix in polychrome marble mosaic.
The Islamic Geometric style demands precision. These rules preserve the dignity and mathematical integrity of thousand-year-old artistic tradition.
“Core philosophy: Unity in Multiplicity. Simple geometric elements through rotation, symmetry and repetition, generating breathtaking complexity. This ‘simple to complex’ process is meditated as the beauty of creation.”
Every pattern emerges from strict geometric axioms. Rotation, reflection, translation.
Beautiful geometric borders frame content like mosque dome mosaics frame the central space.
ease-out at duration-500. No bouncing, no springing — only graceful deceleration.
Gold serves as the primary accent on the navy ground. Ivory provides breathing space.
Containers recall the horseshoe arch. rounded-xl evokes the curves of the mihrab.
Simple tiles repeat to create infinite complexity — the hallmark of tessellation art.
