Measures 48 inches square. Unframed. Penrose tilings are named after mathematician and physicist Roger Penrose, who investigated these sets in the 1970s. They offer an example of an aperiodic tiling, which means that aperiodic means that they lack translational symmetry. This work is intuitively rather than mathematically crafted, with the use of color adding a visual tension to the pattern.

The hat, a new impossible-to-repeat tile pattern. Aperiodic Tiling, Penrose Tiling, New Scientist, Kinds Of Shapes, Tile Patterns, Color Palette, Pattern Design, Wonder, Hats

Check out this up-and-coming, impossible-to-repeat tile pattern. No wonder mathematicians are excited; the new 13-sided shape called 'the hat' had only been theoretically predicted to exist. According to Gizmodo.com, "The hat is what's known as an aperiodic monotile, which means that a single shape can tile a surface without any translational symmetry, or without its pattern ever repeating."
