Colour Black

Black, a hue rich in symbolism and depth, has held an unwavering presence in applied and decorative arts for over two centuries. In furniture, textiles, and ceramics, black’s versatility is unmatched, serving as a dramatic backdrop that accentuates the contours and craftsmanship of each piece. Its boldness brings forth a visual strength, while its ability to absorb and contrast with other colours has made it a favourite for designers seeking to create a focal point or convey sophistication. From the sleek onyx lacquer of Art Deco pieces to the deep charcoals in modern minimalist textiles, black echoes a narrative of elegance and simplicity. It remains a testament to the enduring language of design, where the absence of colour speaks volumes, allowing the form and texture of materials to emerge with a pronounced clarity.
