We present a numerical study of quasiperiodic foams, in which the bubbles are generated as duals of quasiperiodic Frank-Kasper phases. These foams are investigated as potential candidates to the celebrated Kelvin problem for the partition of three-dimensional space with equal volume bubbles and minimal surface area. Interestingly, one of the computed structures falls close (but still slightly above) the best known Weaire-Phelan periodic candidate. This gives additional clues to understanding the main geometrical ingredients driving the Kelvin problem.
