Helica Ceramics. Designed by Anouk Omlo.

How can you not marvel at the wonder that is Anouk Omlo’s ‘Helica Series’ of ceramic sculptures? The designer not only plays with a medium in an innovative way, she also hints at an underlying message about our return to the organic and the natural.

The Helica Series is nothing short of breathtaking and Abigail at Inhabitat describes this beauty quite nicely:

The arrival of Salone Internazionale del Mobile marks not only the official start of spring in the design world, but also an inspiring cross-pollination of fresh ideas related to innovative furniture, lighting, and product design… ‘Helica Series’ is totally emblematic of current (bio)rhythms in design and the budding forms taking shape in our eco-imaginations.

Maybe she’s onto something. We are at an interesting time in the world of design, where we are marrying our modern advances with our socio-envionmental responsibilities. So as a nod to mother nature’s mathematical precision, Anouk leverages the perfection resulting from the Golden mean to create these intricate blossoms. With the exacting hands of a surgeon, she creates each one of these by hand. Mathletes out there have never seen the Fibonacci sequence look so beautiful. Marvelous!

See the up close from April 16 until April 21 and as part of the Design Factory Brainport Eindhoven exhibition in the Zona Tortona areaatat the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan.
