Later, French mathematician Knigge and Scottish mathematician Mark Loring showed that a container made at this angle could be made with the least amount of material and the most volume. So the beehive is considered the most perfect building in the world.

The honeycomb curtain is modeled after the hexagonal cylinder structure of the honeycomb, which can store air in the hollow layer to the maximum extent, thus separating the house from the outside to a certain extent, insulating the sound, heat and moisture, helps keep the room at a constant temperature. Pull down from the top when the drape, very three-dimensional and dynamic sense of beauty.
