Colourful

N.7 of March 5th, 2015

Cristina Morozzi

Editorial by

The colours are not insignificant, anything but. They convey codes, taboos, prejudices that we obey without realizing it. They have hidden meanings that profoundly affect our surroundings, our behaviour, our language, our imagination.”
(Michel Pastoureau / Dominique Simonnet, “The Little Book of Colours” Ponte alle Grazie, Florence, 2006)
Michel Pastoureau, anthropologist, the leading expert on colours, understands how colours affect the psyche and how much they recount epoch-making moods and fashions. As in Vico philosophy colours live their ebb and flow: a monochrome season follows a polychrome. Despite trends anticipating, on the wave of motion picture successes (Fifty shades of grey), the return of shades of grey and Pantone imposing marsala as colour of the year, we like to dispel fears and sorrows by proposing an explosion of colour, to counterpoint the monotony of neutral shades.

The Moodboarders is a glance into the design world, which, in all of its facets, captures the extraordinary even within the routine. It is a measure of the times. It is an antenna sensitive enough to pick-up on budding trends, emerging talents and neglected aesthetics. Instead of essays, we use brief tales to tune into the rhythm of our world. We travelled for a year without stopping, and seeing as the memory of this journey has not faded, we have chosen to edit a printed copy. We eliminated anything episodic, ephemeral or fading, maintaining a variety of articles that flow, without losing the element of surprise, the events caught taking place, and the creations having just bloomed.
