French Designer Francois Hurtaud Launches a New Sculpture Series Inspired by the Golden Ratio

For Francois Hurtaud, the sequence represented the way to translate the mathematical language of perfection to a tangible artifact. He used the abstract expression, the technique of contemporary sculpture, and his knowledge of design to create a marvelous thing of beauty, a spherical golden spiral that appears to be floating above the ground. The shining surface of the piece echoes classical art, while the simple, undulating form suggests the connection shared between all existing matter. This objet d’art is made in concordance with the golden ratio to evoke and model the allegory of the supreme order.

“Demain Peut-être” limited edition sculpture series is crafted in two different sizes. It’s sculpted in plaster in hand-made molds, coated with a bespoke alloy of tin and copper that mimics gold and varnished.
