Exploring the World of Color in Design
The Spectrum of Human Skin
Color plays a significant role in our understanding of humanity. Renowned photographer Angelica Dass has captured over 2,500 portraits that highlight the diverse spectrum of human skin tones. Her work emphasizes the beauty and complexity of our differences.
Innovative Furniture Designs
Colorful design continues to thrive in furniture innovation. Designer Eric Trine introduced a vibrant series of tables called “Octahedron Family,” showcased at this year’s London Design Festival. Such pieces not only serve a function but also add a splash of color and creativity to any space.
Color of the Year Selections
Color trends influence various industries, including design and fashion. In 2017, Pantone’s color of the year was Greenery, symbolizing growth and rejuvenation. This choice reflects the current global emphasis on environmental awareness and naturalism.
Historically, Pantone has selected various shades to encapsulate societal moods. For instance, in 2016, they named Rose Quartz and Serenity as the colors of the year. These colors are said to embody connection, wellness, and tranquility.
In previous years, colors such as Radiant Orchid in 2014 and Emerald in 2013 were chosen to signify growth and prosperity. The influence of color extends beyond mere aesthetics; it shapes our environments and experiences.
