Rhombus Fractal, an origami tessellation designed by Endre Somos (and independently also by Joel Cooper and by Wei Fu), folded by me. You may also find interesting a discussion of this design by Robin Scholz.

In all the folds I have seen so far, only a single molecule was folded, but I’m pretty sure that these molecules can be tessellated by forming helper triangle twists from the triangles that protrude from the hexagon’s corners.
