The art of geometry

According to the precepts of the Islamic religion, figurative decorations and representations of God or the Prophet are forbidden. As such, geometric patterns are among the most iconic visual expressions of Islamic art and architecture.
Traditional craftsmen developed a deep understanding of geometry. Without any theory or mathematical calculation, they could draw circles and lines to create complex and perfect patterns.

A unique object with Islamic patterns

This piece was inspired by Egyptian Quranic calligraphy. The frontispiece of the Mamluk Quran is embellished with gold leaf. It was made especially for the mosque of the sultan Hassan in Cairo.

This unique instrument is crafted using time-honored methods and adapted on a Caran d’Ache Leman model. It is made of solid gold or platinum and set with 506 sapphires, recalling the colors of the most beautiful geometric jewels of Islamic art.
