Monochrome Interior: Four Councils of Lotta Agathon

• Add white. White is the color of an unattainable ideal. It can be alive and dead, warm and cold. He gives you limitless possibilities. It is wrong to believe that it is a color without shades. Do you know that northern peoples emit fifty (!) Gradations of this color? You can play shades, creating a complex color script. Just one color.

• Yes - to natural light! White perfectly reflects light. Let them work in pairs. Large windows with rare glazing fill the interior with sunlight. There is plenty of natural light even on cloudy days, so give it a go. Not a single light scenario, even the most thoughtful and complex, can be compared with it.

• The charm of imperfection. I like textured surfaces: convex, rough, non-uniform, tactile. Combining different textures, you can create the impression of charming imperfections. A textured white interior will look extremely comfortable.

• Light floor. It works best with white and black. I love light parquet. When paired with white, it creates an airy mood. Paired with black does not allow the interior to grow dark and "frown." You can complement the image of furniture made of light wood.

In 2014, Lotta Agathon published a book about her work with photographer Pia Ulin. The book is called Colorful - a subtle irony of the designer in relation to itself, because it is a super-profile of monochrome interiors.

Lotta Agathon's Colorful (“Bright”), created with the participation of photographer Pia Ulin, came out with 4 different covers.
