The Harmonie du Nombre d'Or at the heart of our heritage
Every year, the European Heritage Days invite us to discover and celebrate our rich cultural and architectural heritage. Among these architectural treasures, there's a concept that often lies behind these majestic facades: the golden ratio.
Nestled in the heart of the Loire Valley, Château de Chambord is a masterpiece of the French Renaissance. Its elegant, complex architecture is a classic example of the use of the golden ratio.
If we widen our perspective beyond France, the Parthenon in Athens, Greece, is another emblematic monument where the golden ratio reigns supreme. This ancient temple dedicated to the goddess Athena is a model of architectural perfection, with columns and sculptures that scrupulously follow the principles of the golden ratio. It was Phidias who designed it and gave the debit of its name, Phi, to the golden ratio.
Our Phi 1.618 house places the golden ratio at the heart of its creations, creating leather goods of rare proportion and elegance.
Every Phi 1.618 bag, belt and accessory is the fruit of deep reflection on proportion, harmony and beauty. The House's craftsmen subtly integrate the golden ratio into each creation.
The emblematic Phi belt ties like the tiny Greek letter Phi. The bags, meanwhile, are inspired by the shapes of the golden ratio found in nature, such as the nautilus for our Philae bag.
The golden ratio is much more than a mathematical curiosity. It is a universal visual language that transcends eras and disciplines.
