01 / The palette

Six colors, one atmosphere.

Screen colors are authored interpretations. Material photographs show surface character; they are not calibrated color samples.

02 / Play with the composition

One small hit of saffron.

Keep the yellow small enough to remain a surprise. Surround it with broad wool and plaster surfaces; glazed tile introduces a different kind of red through reflection rather than another hue.

Sources & interpretation

Bahia Palace brings together richly worked wood, tile and stone. The study uses that dialogue between surfaces as a starting point for a contemporary room with wool, oxblood plaster and a small saffron accent.

The palette follows the authored material references in this collection. Room, object and material imagery were created for this study. These are imagined settings, with no affiliation to the fictional interface brands.
