Green is really a nice colour. As everybody else I love to enjoy it in so many shades while being in nature. It is one of the additive primary colors. A lot of people like green in their houses too and of course there is lots of fantastic work with greens in interior styling and design.<\/p>\n
And furthermore it is even the colour of the year 2013 – as we know from Pantone’s emerald. Well? You may hear the big BUT already coming? Mhh, let’s say somehow green and I do not have the strongest relationship. No need to mention that I am not embracing a green thumb as well. Countless plants which have come and gone into our house are a sad, but proven track record.<\/p>\n
So taken all this into account, it was kind of a miracle what happened to me while attending the woonbeurs fair in Amsterdam last week. As I entered the booth of Vitra<\/a>, seeing all the walls and the floor covered in this special shade of green – I actually really liked it.<\/p>\n They combined it with black accessoires (clocks from George Nelson, Hang it all from R&E Eames) and a more yellowish green or greenish yellow tone (Prouv\u00e9 Chair, Bouroullec Brothers), which gave the setting a special twist. And then I could even hear myself kindly asking the lovely lady from the vitra booth for giving me the name of the colour hue in use*.<\/p>\n I do not know how they do this brainwashing, but it works. I even think of painting a room in green. Ok, for now – maybe kind of a soft start with our guest room.\u00a0So. My honneurs to Vitra, there are not only the home for a couple of iconic designers from the 20th century, they also do a great job in translating trends<\/a> into a perfect mix and match. Well done.<\/p>\n <\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a> <\/a><\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n *NCS (Natural Color System): S 6030 – G30Y<\/p>\n All photos by \u00a9designisti.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Green is really a nice colour.
