No need to be a mathematician or geometry fan to appreciate any of these gifts featuring a Penrose tiling exhibiting five-fold symmetry. A Penrose tiling is a non-periodic tiling generated by an aperiodic set of prototiles. Penrose tilings are named after mathematician and physicist Roger Penrose who investigated these sets in the 1970s. The aperiodicity of the Penrose prototiles implies that a shifted copy of a Penrose tiling will never match the original.
