Someone sees the world in white. Someone is in black. And designers seem to care

The main colors distinguishable by the human eye are red, blue, yellow and green. White and black - "outcasts." They are from the achromatic series, which means, if we translate this primordially Greek term, they are colorless. They have no tones, they can only be lighter or darker, moving, respectively, in gradations of gray. It’s like the two poles of the antipode: north – south, morning – evening, good — bad. White rooted as “good”, black — as “bad.” With the first we are used to associate everything positive, the second is assigned to the dark sides of life.

Black and white — two poles, antipode

This season, however, the balance of power has changed. And in favor of the fraternal draw. They say that the choice is desirable, but sometimes it is alarming and even burdensome. The designers decided not to put psychological experiments on us and invented universal furniture, black and white, which will appeal to both goths and brides.

This is a winning — contrast and graphic — combination

Толерантная гамма понравилась и интерьерщикам, быстро оценившим все плюсы выигрышной—контрастной и графичной—комбинации. Популярны как двухцветные предметы, так и само сочетание чёрных и белых вещей. Первые можно найти у KARTELL, CATTELAN ITALIA, DRAENERT (мебель), TERZANI, LLADRO ў, DEVON&DEVON (светильники и аксессуары). Вторых—великое множество. В нашей подборке, например, представлены стулья Mollina фабрики DRIADE, спроектированные молодыми дизайнерами из бюро Park Associati, и современная версия лампочки Ильича—светильники Inchino–chino марки BUSNELLI, придуманные Антонио Шортино. Сомневаться не приходится: модники обзавидуются.
