After doing research about the nature and its shapes, colors, structure, smell and texture I have started to think about honey, bees, flower pollen and everything related to a honeycomb. As my inspiration for the wallpaper theme I have chosen the honeycomb. The structure of the honeycomb creates an ideal pattern which could be used for my wallpaper design.
The hexagonal grid of wax cells on either side of the nest are slightly offset from each other. This increases the strength of the comb and reduces the amount of wax required to produce a robust structure.
The three-dimensional geometry of a honeycomb cell
The shape of the cells is such that two opposing honeycomb layers nest into each other, with each facet of the closed ends being shared by opposing cells.
