PERFECT PROPORTION
Combining classical proportions and contemporary design, this beautiful showroom fireplace in Nanaimo, BC Canada is both fire frame and visual experience. Ian Wyndlow, principal of Liquid Stone Studios, thoughtfully used white concrete to set off black steel and emphasize the complex three-dimensional spiral motif created from the Golden Mean, an historic and precise mathematical proportion of artistic consequence. Concrete, non-combustible and able to take on the ideal form, surface finish, and color envisioned for the end result, was the natural choice for this project.
“Starting with the ammonite inlay at the center and spiraling outward with each section at a different depth, this is an inspired and exquisitely crafted interpretation of the ‘golden mean’ in concrete.”
