Parfois appelé pavage «en tuiles» ou «en tesselles». Abstraction faite de la forme des pavés qui les composent, mais compte tenu de la disposition de ceux-ci, il y a 17 pavages plans réguliers. On les retrouve tous dans les motifs décoratifs d'Alhambra de Grenade et dans les gravures de M.C. Escher.
