In article number 1808518 , Blaise L. Tardy, Orlando J. Rojas, and co‐workers demonstrate the hierarchical assembly of chiral cellulose nanocrystals with controlled orientation of the helicoidal director. This is achieved using a complex topography, templating the construct. The obtained tiled architecture provides additional fracture propagation and energy dissipation mechanisms as well as a new means of controlling the reflection properties of the materials.
