What if the secret to unlocking your creative potential lies in the rich, natural hues of vegetables?
Join me on a vibrant journey in this episode with Christoph Brach and Daniera ter Haar from Raw Color, the visionary Dutch design studio known for their pioneering work with colour. From their early experiments with beetroot juice to designing products that seamlessly blend graphic design, product design, and photography for big global brands like IKEA, Christoph and Daniera reveal how their unique approach to colour has shaped their studio’s identity and bridged diverse creative fields. Discover their thoughts on the emotional resonance of colour and the power of spontaneity in design.
In this episode we talk about the historical significance of colour and its emotional impact on our environments. Raw Color tells us about the importance of embracing the journey and discovering unexpected ideas along the way in a design process. Learn how playful design choices in your home can foster cozy, safe havens that resonate with personal expression. And last but not least Christoph and Daniera advocates for breaking free from the constraints of neutral tones to introduce individuality and creativity through colour.
Ever wondered how a colour can be translated into sound? The episode ends with the musical experiment “The Sound of a Colour”, this time by Los Angeles-born singer-songwriter Devon Williams, who captures the essence of ochre yellow in music.
