Brightest in the bunch
This season brings a delightful intermix of clever designs that blend the optimism of colour with the energy of form. TEXT: JOANNE MOLINA
“Colours, like features, follow the changes of the emotions,” said Pablo Picasso. This season embraces depth and dimensionality with a rich palette of colours with cool blue undertones. Styled in groups, pairs and artistic iterations to enhance the emotional experience of objects, furnishing and accessories, objects old and new bring life and movement to any décor. “The desire for tranquillity, strength and optimism has inspired an autumn 2016
colour palette,” explains Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute. “Along with anchoring earth tones, exuberant pops of vibrant colours also appear throughout the collections. Transcending gender, these unexpectedly vivacious colours in our Fall 2016 palette act as playful but structured departures from your more typical autumn shades. Blue skies represent constancy as they are always above us. Greys give a feeling of stability; red tones invite confidence and warmth; while the hot pinkish purples and spicy mustard yellows suggest a touch of the exotic.” Pantone initially captured this year’s trend when they selected Serenity and Rose
Quartz as their colours of the year for 2016. “Serenity and Rose Quartz demonstrate an inherent balance between a warmer embracing rose tone and the cooler tranquil blue, reflecting connection and wellness,” says Eiseman. The productive tension created by this pairing of colours is ideal for the tactile
elements of the autumn collections, first seen earlier this year at Salone del Mobile (Milan) and Maison & Objet (Paris). From gentle hues that grace delicate glass lighting to bold lush modular furnishings
designed for infinite combinations, designers are bringing surprise and wonder to this season’s table with their unexpected intermingling of colours and forms.
