When colour + light + surface + material meet, many faces emerge.

colour + light

Colour and light are the visible interface between ourselves and our environment. They are part of our everyday life, constantly influencing our feelings, our (well)being and our behaviour. Colour and light lend shape to a space, enhance or diminish its legibility, facilitate or impede orientation.


The impression given by colour and light arises from the constant flow of changing and overlapping scenes, which are in turn the result of a complex interaction of various factors: material, surface, structure, form; change, motion, duration; characteristics and activities of the observer. The art of design lies in their combination.
