For example the Self palette (pictured) helps us to reflect and reconnect, realising the value of solitude in an always-on world. We look within to find purpose and true happiness, simplifying our lives and the world around us.
ColourConnect is a resource and a tool, to help inspire the minds that will shape our future places. Take a look at trends in colour, how colour both reflects and shapes human behaviour and fulfil a CPD credit while you learn.
The impact of colour in our inhabited spaces has a profound, subliminal effect on how we process and interact with the world, others and ourselves. As students of design, we understand that the colours we choose for a designed space are emblematic of a mood, a culture or an intended outcome. How does this shade of grey make our patients feel when they’re in a healing environment? Which shade of blue brings luxurious calm to a hospitality environment?
Architects and Interior Designers have less time than they ever have for researching materials, trends and for “looking around the corner.” The constant pressure of the billable project hour, as well as maintaining Continuing Education hours for professional development, leave little room for stepping back and taking a broader view of the world we co-create from project-to-project. Colour Connect provides a look into the global colour trends which are currently having an impact.
Beginning in 2010 with ColourEvolution and later with ColourSense in 2014, Shaw Contract as a brand has established itself an ongoing position of being a thought leader in colour and trend forecasting. Colour Connect is RIBA-accredited. Shaw Contract will be running CPD sessions during Clerkenwell Design Week 2019 at its showroom. For more information, contact infouk@shawcontract.com
