An enigmatic name 1.618 = φ = the golden ratio

It is a definition in symbiosis with the positioning of the event.

A different Luxury
According to 1.618, today’s Luxury is foremost ethical, creative, essential, aesthetic and immaterial.
It defines itself through scarcity, the notion of time, heritage, respect but it is also:
/ A reflection of society’s transformations.
/ Research and innovation.
/ The will to preserve and respect natural resources.
/ The discovery of oneself through the object’s appreciation.
/ The expression of a creative imagination.
/ The respect of human rights.
/ The preservation of know-how.
