Unique Properties: This is an extra fine porcelain product designed under the golden ratio principle to provide aesthetics and functionality that adhere to strict mathematical laws as well as a hands-on balanced experience.
From the proportions of nautilus shells through tree leaves, pine cone seeds or sunflower spirals to the work of trailblazing artists like Le Corbusier and Salvador Dali, the golden ratio conquered the world of aesthetics as a proportion by default pleasing to the eye.
