Collection of 2D repeating patterns available in three different file formats: vector (.eps, .svg) and 2D CAD (.dwg).

Repeating patterns occur when some shape regularly repeats itself until it completely fills a surface. When designing a repeating pattern we need to have a geometric plan that defines the repetition and the basic pattern itself that will be repeated according to the plan. There is a subcategory of repeating patterns called diaper patterns which occur when the basic pattern is applied within regularly arranged squares or other regular polygons. (triangle, lozenge...).

If repetition is linear i.e. along a line, such patterns are called Frieze patterns. Repetitive patterns are very much in use in architecture, textile industry...
