Looking into the Honeycomb idea

Preserved

A new direction highlighted for spring/summer 2012, Preserved looks to the reflective and transient surface qualities first seen in Deceptive spring/summer 2011. Glazed lacquers and thick varnishes  are intrinsic and give the effect of colour captured beneath surfaces. This approach results in materials and products featuring wooden surfaces that are coated and polished with wax and resin lacquers, especially in furniture design.

The importance of amber-coloured rubbers and gels were identified in our seasonal Materials forecast S/S 12. Muffled colour creates a sense of transient tactility in spatial outcomes and architecture.
  • An escape from the outside world, Rubber House by architects Zeinstra van Gelderen is a chamber of solace that has a glutinous feeling. The house is constructed from amber-coloured urethane resin that creates semi-translucent walls
