Untitled, injection-molded plastic. Contributed by Studio Infinity.

[108 F, 196 E, 90 V] There are many more combinations of symmmetric solids that can fill space with no gaps or overlaps than just the familiar rectangular solids. This construction of Polydron, one of the oldest commercially-produced systems for constructing polyhedra, illustrates one such combination, consisting of cubes together with cuboctahedra and rhombicuboctahedra, two Archimedean solids.
