Life as it is

 

The colours of Life as it is refer to non-consumerism and reference time, forever and now. They are stronger than pastel colours and intend to add some sweetness and light to everyday life.  The colours reference traditional things, time, craftmanship, memories, nature, nostalgia, flowers, how the light can embrace a space, the things that influence our quality of life. The colours are timeless colours that refer to memories, they seem to travel through time as they are subtle references to different time era’s; 1950s blue, 1990s pink, brown from the 1970s and a Gen z yellow. Pay attention to the moment, the now and make the simple things more beautiful by the use of materials and colours.
