This was a wild one! The clients for these Aperiodic Boxes saw our Liese Wine Cabinet and knew that we were game for geometrical challenges. They have a (healthy) fixation with aperiodic tiling patterns, where shapes can be arranged to cover a plane to infinity yet never repeat a pattern in translation. While we were discussing different options, in March 2023 a new class of polygons was discovered that, for the first time ever, can do this with only one shape. We committed to this immediately, so you are surely looking at the first wine storage system using that polygon. One fundamental challenge was that the storage be reconfigurable by the clients to different patterns, which led to (twenty) independent boxes, with thirteen sides each and requiring tight tolerances. Now they can find their own patterns and realize them using these maple-veneered boxes, while we rest a bit.
