Golden ratio & Fibonacci
The golden ratio
Since ancient times, proportions based on the golden ratio have been considered the epitome of beauty and aesthetics. Even today, this perfect balance can still be found in art, architecture and design.
The golden ratio can be seen everywhere in nature and is reflected in products.
It results from the equality of proportions, when the larger part relates to the smaller part in the same way as the whole relates to the larger part. The formula for this size ratio is the Phi number 1.618 known from mathematics.
All glass and porcelain products are carefully designed according to these standards. Every piece is a real treat for the eye.
The Fibonacci number sequence in nature
The Fibonacci number sequence is based on the same principle as the golden ratio and describes the characteristics of growth processes that can be found, for example, in flowers and leaves in nature. This occurs, for example, in left- and right-turning spirals with a ratio of 8 to 13 or 21 to 34 (all numbers in the Fibonacci sequence). If you divide these numbers by each other, the result is always 1.618, known as "Phi" or the golden ratio.
Each individual seed in the flower head of a sunflower belongs to a left-turning and a right-turning spiral. It is noteworthy that the number of spirals are, without exception, only neighboring numbers from the Fibonacci number sequence. In sunflowers you will always find spiral combinations of 21/34, 34/55, 55/89 and especially in large sunflowers also 89/144 kernels. This principle also applies to daisies, pine nuts, cabbage, pineapples, etc.
Fibonacci number sequence:
1+1=2, 1+2=3, 2+3=5, 3+5=8, 5+8=13 ...
21+34=55, 34+55=89, 55+89=144 ...
The ratio between two consecutive numbers in the Fibonacci sequence is always 1.62, which corresponds to the golden ratio. 34:21=1,62 55:34=1,62 89:55=1,62
