”I have always been fascinated with the beauty of light and the interac- tion that subtle lights and shadows can create in both mind and heart. As Da Vinci said, it is the light that makes the object!
Any interactions with light, and the confrontation of light with darkness causes a deep emotion, and the magnet that draws these two together is colour.
To propose a series of colours for the Arne Jacobsen Series 7, (a chair I have admired and collected for many years now), I imagined what Mr. Jacobsen might have thought when he made his first palette in 1955. Perhaps, as the North and South Poles are always in re- lationship, he also explored this relation between the light and the darkness.
Departing from that, every object we see relates chromatically through its shadows and light, no matter where it is from, whether birds of the sky, flowers of the earth, or shells of the sea. Because both Italy and Denmark are bound by our relationship to the sea, the colours and influences of the objects of the sea - shells and seaweeds; small sea creatures, and the sands along the beaches, offered naturally a spectrum of colour possibili- ties to explore.
From the dark green and blue of shifting waves and sky, to the pinks and ochres of small shells and a fading se- ashore in twilight, the palette came na- turally as I explored the essence of day- light and its partner: night, to capture the essence of our shared colourharmo- nies.”
