Nosigner makes you wanna go back to school, study Euclidean geometry
My Japanese is a bit rusty, so I apologize in advance, should you find any mistakes in the translation after the jump.
全て違う大きさの正方形を組み合わせて作る事ができる長方形は、
この世界で3つしか発見されていません。
SQUARESは、この非常に稀な図形をからデザインされた宝石箱です。
羊の皮を樹脂で磨いてくという特殊な技法で作られた表情は、
他の技法では表現できない美しい仕上げになっています。
徳島の鏡台製作技術を応用し、真ん中の引き出しを開けるまで
他の引き出しが空かないカラクリが仕込まれています。
There are only three kinds of rectangle found by mathematicians which could make different size of squares. SQUARES are accessory cases which were designed by these rectangle. The surface was polished by piano finish with sheepskin, which is a unique technique of making traditional mirror stand in Tokushima prefecture, Japan. Whole drawers of SQUARES are not open until the center drawer is open. This is a traditional trick used for Japanese drawer.

OK, so I lied. I don’t speak Japanese and the translation you just read is the actual press release found on Nosigner’s website. However, I’m still not sure what they mean by “three kinds of rectangle”. If they’re referring to perfect rectangles, then it’s them being built up of squares, not the other way around. It’s still cool, though.
