The Colors of our skin - Colourlovers

While skin color is determined by genetics, besides tanning, in our modern world we have additional drivers behind the colors of skin. With globalization more people are living in areas where their skin tone is not aligned with the environment with which they live.

Of course skin color is constantly adapting, and it is interesting to wonder what the colors of our skin will be like in the future due to this voluntary movement and the constantly changing genetic mixtures of modern families.bron: www.colourlovers.com

Spool Chairs 2008 Keisuke Fujiwara (1971)

Two classic Thonet chairs have been wrapped in thread with the colours of fire and water. Each model contains 6 km of thread in a blend of 12 colours.

It took three people two months to complete two chairs. Therefore these chairs express the time needed to make quality objects by hand.

Big Blue 1981-82 Bridget Riley (1931)

Stripes are in fashion, we see them all around us. On the tableware of Iitalla for example, designed by  industrial designer Aflfredo Haberli, and on the european flag designed by Rem Koolhaas.



The stripes of Koolhaas are the produce of a rational reasoning about flags and economy. In Haberli's case it looks like he reuses the stripes designed by English fashion designer Paul Smith. Paul Smith meanwhile seems to be inspired by Bridget Riley (London, 1931), who manufactured this painting in 1981-82, titled Big Blue.
