Its heart is the color of Prism, the new Atlas Concorde collection selected by the studio Lissoni Associati. Just as white sunlight is broken down into the colors of the rainbow when it passes through a prism, the Prism collection transforms space with a palette of 13 shades. The colors range from warm and welcoming shades, that can be matched with most wall colors, to hues with cold and contemporary tones in keeping with all the tints of the color scheme. The colors are also designed to be matched in gradation or contrasted with character accents such as shades of claret and clay. What are the atmospheres evoked? My thoughts turn to the metaphysical scenes in Giorgio de Chirico's paintings, evocative and moving in every age. The mood is wedded to the new Deco trend in contemporary architecture, which chooses classic codes and interprets them with unusual freedom. If color is the unifying thread, the sinuous graphics of the hand-spatulated resin effect are the detail that conveys the characters of those who choose it and harmonize its style. Prism blends the beauty of resin with the performance of porcelain stoneware.
