These interlocking tiles are derived from the recently discovered “Einstein Aperiodic Monotile.” An aperiodic tile covers two-dimensional space in such a way as to create infinite patterns that never repeat. Until recently, the existence of an aperiodic monotile was purely theoretical. But here it is!
Tiles are provided with or without an embossed Einstein face. Use the plain files to make your own remixes!

This tile set is an artistic interpretation of the real Einstein Monotile. There are a few caveats for the math purists in the room.
Firstly, the real Einstein Monotile tiling system (“The Hat”) is composed of mirrored versions of the same shape. In this design, the process of making the pieces interlocking results in the two versions looking quite different. Even though they look different, they are derived from the same reference geometry and so follow the same
