LOCATION OF EXHIBITION: Rheintriadem, Cologne DATE: 18.-24. January 2010 PRESENTATION: COLOURCOURAGEŽ - Systematic colour harmonies by Lars Contzen CONCEPTION/PLANNING: "confused direction"Germany confused-direction presented the furniture and colour system of Lars Contzen, alongside designs by their in-house team.
colourcourageŽ is a colour system defined by the designer Lars Contzen which includes design patented colour "families" that have been merged into a harmonious and sophisticated use of light and colour. These were defined based on regularities of colour psychology combined with the current cultural understanding of colour and are intended for use in the areas of architecture and interior design. A colourcourageŽ partner network, consisting of reputed companies in the industry will supply appropriate products or materials, which guarantee a well balanced and harmonious colour composition.
The idea is to fill architecture and interior design with striking but aesthetic colour tones so that the look and feel of a room, space or building reminds one of graphic decor or constructivist painting that goes beyond normal dimensions. . A room is converted into an "ornament" without the surfaces in it being decorative.
