Blackwing Volumes Vol. 55 pencil:   The Golden Ratio Pencil

The Golden Ratio is a mathematical ratio often found in nature, art, and design. It gives the world around us a composition and symmetry that, for reasons we don't fully understand, we find beautiful. It appears in the spiral of a seashell, the unwinding of a fern, and many other natural structures. When applied to art, it becomes a tool to create balanced and organic works.

The Golden Ratio can be heard in arrangements by Beethoven, Mozart and Bach. It can be felt in the syllabic patterns of Sanskrit poetry. It can be seen in the works of artists and architects, from Salvador Dalí to Frank Lloyd Wright. It can even be applied in your day to day by framing a photo using the "Rule of Thirds" of photography.

The Blackwing 55  Celebrate the Golden Ratio. It is a reminder to slow down and savor the beauty that surrounds us.

Each pencil features a design inspired by the Fibonacci sequence, a series of numbers that approximates the Golden Ratio. The width of each color block is the sum of the widths of the two previous color blocks (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 and 55 mm). A simple formula with a magnificent result. These pencils also have a medium graphite inside, to achieve a perfect balance.
