The Golden Section Over the years, they have found the mat which was closest in its rectangular proportion to the Golden Section is one of our most popular mats (60cm x 100cm). To make this mat even more pleasing for our customers, Beija Flor changed its proportions to more closely resemble the Golden Section (60cm x 97cm 97/60=1.617). This mathematical proportion derived from The Fibonacci series, is found all around us in nature and in great artworks. The Golden Section is represented in the Golden Rectangle in which the ratio of the longer side to the shorter side is the Golden Section.
