Colours have the power to evoke emotions and transform living spaces, and their visual expression changes when they interact with light, materials, movement and each other. The collaboration of Raw Color and IKEA has created a collection that explores these aspects within objects.
Colour is a powerful expression of personality that can have a positive impact on our well-being and brighten up our spaces. Together with Dutch design duo Raw Color, IKEA presents the limited Tesammans collection, featuring everyday items that inspire people to bring joy and colourful character to their homes. The collection also explores Raw Color’s design philosophy centered around the transformative nature of colour. The knitted Tesammans throw showcases this idea, with graphic lines and solid colours that seemingly blend into a single hue from a distance, but up close, separate colours emerge. The theme continues in the Tesammans lampshades, to either hang or place on a table. With a stacked design featuring three lampshades that transition from dark to lighter tones, different reflections are created as they catch light.
“We have taken an experimental approach to exploring how colours can transform everyday objects, trying different combinations of shades and materials, playing with shapes that catch light in certain ways and by mixing bright, saturated tones with more muted ones.”
