Color in interiors is rarely so neatly presented, yet here we are being handed precise, geometric cut-outs of it on a platter. Decorating with color has never looked so good. A piece of cobalt, anyone? A slice of burgundy? Paired with such a bright, almost forceful white, the hues seem similarly stark, the highly defined edges in the curves of the electric orange chair, the lines of the yellow stool (see it?) and the segmented colorful sections of the rug, as well as the painted surfaces making them seem like elements of the room that could be taken away, swapped in or out like pieces of a puzzle, at a moment’s notice.
