The workshop presented a collection of colours and leather goods for the spring/summer 2008 season developed by Lanxess’ competence centre, laboratory and applications development department in Santa Croce sull’Arno The collection is based on two different trends: Past + experience + present + research = future and Air + light + energy + research = vibration.
In the first trend the look of the future is created by reworking the past to create a new style. Colours include light, pale shades such as beige and stone combined with dark, muted colours ranging from night-blue and violet to agate with metallic or mirror effects.
The second trend is characterised by freshness and lightness, reminiscent of a gentle sea breeze. Clear colours such as sun yellow, apple green, and strawberry red teamed with pale shades such as eggshell and light grey dominate.
