Why hexagonan stickers

I was born in a little city in Italy without many opportunities for professional grow.

So I moved to Milan, the technological hub in Italy that actually provided me with a lot of opportunities of works and professional grow.

Of course I still enjoy to come back in my hometown whenever I have some free time to visit my family and old friends.

Last time I got back in Siena my friends asked me about any news and of course I shared with them this great adventure of hexstickers.com

They immediately asked why I was making hexagonal stickers and not simpler stickers. Simpler stickers required less artistic work and are generally faster to do, get the actuall logo, advertise, sell them, print, ship and then profit! Why add another step in this simple circle?

My answer was very fast, hexagon are very appealing because they are one of the very few shapes that can completely tile a plane! Let me explain.

Tiling a Plane

With plane I mean the euclidean plane in the real word this would be an extremelly large, completely flat surface, like a wall, a table or the lid of your laptop!

With tiling I mean to completely cover a surface, without gaps or overlaps.

It turns out that there are a lof of way to tile a plane using polygons, however, only three regular polygons can tile a plane by themself: triangle, squares and, you guessed, hexagons!

This particular property of hexagons makes them perfect for making stickers.

Using hexagonal stickers you will be able to cover your laptop in a very neat and precise way, without leaving any gaps or leaving precise hexagonal gaps that you may fill some other time, still keeping a very appealing visual effect.

Below you can buy our stickers and in the gif in the embeded tweet you can see some of the pattern that you may have on your laptop with our stickers.
