Large	Small
total = large + small

The Golden Mean Caliper is a tool for measuring dynamically the phi proportion. The proportion nature uses when designing life. This caliper is based on an articulated pentagon. It is very useful during design in whatever discipline that interacts with life... as life was designed with the Phi proportion. It's very handy for artists in general. Painters, sculptors and architects use it widely.  Also graphic designers can take advantage of it's use when searching for a pleasant layout. The architecture of our body responds entirely to this ratio, that's why we naturally use this ratio in whatever creative act we do. Having the caliper around during creation will give us a wider range of possibilities. It's a lifetime jewel present for anyone who appreciate aesthetics.

This type of caliper show 3 measurements at the same time- 1) Small - 2) Large - 3) Total

small x 1.618 =large

large x 1.618 = total

total x 0.618 = large

large x 0.618 = small

 

 

Note our hands are perfectly phi proportioned
	Books are are comfortable to handle, they usually respond to the golden mean rectangle
...So the caliper is an universal tool for design.
It´s great for architects when designing homes. Phi designed home appliances not only upgrade their ergonomy but they enhance their aesthetics and beauty.
