The five Platonic solids are a tetrahedron, a cube, an octahedron, an icosahedron, and a dodecahedron. In addition to being geometrically pure, the five solids possess congruent faces, edges and angles. I guess that's really cool.
Patricia Towers uses the five Platonic solids and a buckyball in her Platonic Chess set. She lists molecular structure, black and white opposition, architectural imagery, Noguchi, and structural geometry as several of her inspirations. This was a finalist in the 2005 Isamu Noguchi Chess Design Competition. It's aesthetically pleasing and the pawns' reflection off the board looks like ninja stars.
