Weave of a Rattan Chair
I saw this chair in my house and I noticed that the backrest is a tessellation.
After zooming into the weave pattern I realized that the pattern was made up of triangles and circles. Ideally, all of the triangles should have the same side lengths and angle measures, but this is not true because the width of each rattan strip is not the same. (~LSU2)
