CFW 60 Tessellation (aka Red Flower)

A simple tessellation designed by Shuzo Fujimoto who called such models Translucent Designs. Also, independently created by Ilan Garibi, who called his version “Red Flower” and made it popular. This work is shaped the way Fujimoto folded it, i.e. with the “fins” between molecules fully squashed into flat squares. In Red Flower, the typical way is to keep these shapes in the form of 3D cushions.

This design is simple enough for me to sometimes teach it even to beginners with no origami experience whatsoever.

This particular physical model no longer exists since I used it to fold my Diesel-Electric Tessellation which uses this design as an intermediate step.
