The Mix team have almost recovered after this year’s visit to Milan for the biggest international design festival of our calender. Our Features Editor couldn’t help but stop to photograph this tangerine bathroom interior in a Zona Tortona venue – what bold use of colour!
Over the next week, Mix hope to update our blog with some news from i Salone, Zona Tortona, Zona Romana and the other shows that we visited in Milan. Stay tuned for design news.
Our London neighbours, the Saab showroom on the Highway, have chosen a tangerine vintage Saab for their latest window display. The splash of colour really brightens up the showroom, which is otherwise filled with new models in metallic silvers and ice blues.
April’s colour of the month is Tangerine, from Spring/Summer 2010′s Filigree trend. Be prepared to see this vibrant hue popping up in striking interiors, architectural projects and newly released products such as Alessi’s latest range which we previously previewed.
One of Mix’s favourite uses of this colour that has been spotted recently is in Dutch studio Arco’s latest collection. We discovered this range produced in warm Tangerine leather at Design Post, Cologne, while visiting the city earlier this year. By combining such a cheeky colour with a minimal structure, a sense of fun can be added to a room without appearing childish or garish.
