The geometric rules behind insect eyes, honeycombs, Anker tables
and Inumbrina parasols are easily explained. Like squares and equilat-
eral triangles, regular hexagons fit together without any gaps to make
efficient use of space. For projects on large terraces, the Anker tables
can be lined up in a hexagonal grid system to fill the area with a minimum
amount of wasted volume, but enough room to easily move around. To
keep the sun out and create a cosy ambiance, our hexagonal Inumbrina
shades can be installed to construct a closed canopy roof above the
Ankers.
