hexagon

Created in 1934, the Ludo bracelet features updates like delicate mesh in hexagon and briquette motifs, woven by the maison’s craftsmen to heighten the effect of a supple ribbon.

Winds whip around this hexagon at 300 miles per hour, but why the region forms the shape is a mystery.

This hexagon principle applies generally to the morphology, which not only describes the shape of the particles but also the number and positioning of their bonds: Six possible bonds to adjacent particles proved to be ideal when assembling larger structures.

The hexagon principle could be applied to optimize the self-organization of small structures into larger ones -- as regards the shape of the building blocks or the possibility of bonds and adjacency relations with other particles.

Stripped of their brown paint and polished, each fragment will weigh 18 grams, or just over half an ounce, and be fashioned into a hexagon — the shape of France.
