History of Zig Zag Tessellation
Posted: September 30th, 2017, 8:12 pm
I'm wondering if the Zig Zag Tessellation (https://flic.kr/p/dKYre) can be considered a traditional model or if a particular author can be named?
It seems to be visible in some Bauhaus origami pictures making it at least close to a hundred years old. David Lister mentions it in his article (http://britishorigami.info/academic/lis ... _begin.php) stating that "Zig-zag folding was an old technique, which was known, for instance in Danish lampshades." but without any dates. Does anyone have more information on this model's history?
