Amid Impasto of Colors Exhibition
\r\nColor as Memory, Material, and Experience<\/h3>\r\n

O<\/span>n display at 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT<\/a> - March 14th to April 12th - \u201cAmid Impasto of Colors \u2013 Overlapping Colors\u201d takes visitors on an immersive experience that invites them to rediscover the power of color.<\/p>\r\n

A seemingly simple element, color can actually evoke sensations, awaken memories, and speak directly to our sensibilities. The exhibition thus explores how colors shape our daily relationship with the world, transforming what we see into something we feel.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

A veritable color archive gave rise to the HOMME PLISS\u00c9 ISSEY MIYAKE<\/a> Spring\/Summer 2026 collection, born from the discovery and cataloging of shades collected while traveling through cities.<\/p>\r\n

The cities we live in are full of colors, often invisible precisely because they are familiar: the worn tones of facades, the nuances of markets, the variations of light on the sea. Colors that are never neutral, capable of telling multiple stories, from time to habits to people.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The exhibition space is defined by an aluminum beam structure, from which pleated fabrics - the brand's signature - drape lightly.<\/p>\r\n

Here, forty-four shades selected from over two hundred create an intense and complex chromatic journey. Color is not decoration, but structure: it is condensed memory, the trace of lived experiences.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The research stems from fieldwork in Italy, where the design team collected hues directly from reality: weathered architectural surfaces, local markets, and ever-changing landscapes.<\/p>\r\n

Surprising colors emerge, derived from the most diverse elements: from \u201cJambon Pink\u201d inspired by prosciutto, to \u201cZucchini Yellow\u201d which recalls the yellow of zucchini blossoms.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cPortofino\u201d linked to the green of a gate overlooking a dock; \u201cTrampolino Yellow\u201d taken from the grate of a street manhole; \u201cManarola\u201d which echoes the color of the bricks of the buildings; \u201cCinque Terre \/ Steel Yellow \/ Rock Green\u201d inspired by local plaster; \u201cBlack Eggplant\u201d which recalls the color of eggplant; \u201cPizza Dough Beige\u201d which evokes the hue of pizza dough.<\/p>\r\n

Fragments of reality that become design material.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

One of the most interesting aspects of the exhibition is the process of creating color. The hues arise from successive layers of brushstrokes, introducing a temporal dimension that transcends simple matter.<\/p>\r\n

This approach restores to the project a quality often absent in contemporary design: slowness. Italian cities, with their irregular surfaces and signs of wear, thus become a living archive, not to be replicated but interpreted.<\/p>\r\n

The exhibition highlights how color influences our daily experience, not only as a visual element, but as an emotional and spatial component. Color guides the way we perceive environments, inhabit them, and remember them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In an era dominated by digital images and standardized palettes, \u201cAmid Impasto of Colors \u2013 Overlapping Colors\u201d draws attention to a slower and more sensitive dimension of design, where color returns to being an experience.<\/p>\r\n

The exhibition offers a clear reflection: that design arises from a continuous dialogue with reality, balancing process, perception, and memory.<\/p><\/article>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
