Color Compound 2017

Designers: Suzanne Tick, Luum Textiles, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Manufacturer: Luum Textiles, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

The Color Compound collection celebrates the palettes embodied by the return of honest materials to interior spaces. The collection was inspired by the late architect Luis Barragan’s emotional architecture, where color is an essential design element that affects the way a space feels. The calming, neutral tones of Refraction, Intone, Fundamentals and Essentials are drawn from nature to create a modern yet classic broad range of palettes for all projects. Designed by Suzanne Tick.

Refraction is a large-scale, statement pattern emulating the movement of light and shadow. The palette is composed of cool and warm neutrals, paired with brighter hues that evoke the raw beauty of terracotta, wood and stone. Calm neutrals that merge and diverge across the fabric soften multi-directional planes of color. Inspired by Luis Barragan’s emotional architecture, Refraction pays homage to his work. Utilizing both active and neutral colors to suggest interior and exterior spaces, color is an essential design element impacting the mood of a space. Modern yet classic, Barragan’s architectural work celebrates the earthy yet bold colors of natural materials.

Intone is a classic, textural solid that is offered in a sophisticated palette of neutrals, as well as rich, earthy tones. A subtle cationic yarn punctuates a balanced weave of nubby yarns. Intone is a luxuriously thick yet fluid multi-purpose fabric with excellent performance.

Fundamentals is a solid upholstery fabric with a subtle crepe weave. In addition to the classic neutrals and brights, the palette is grounded with the addition of deeper, jewel-like tones. Together with Essentials, its companion fabric in the panel line, Fundamentals supports a broad range of palettes for all projects.

Essentials is a solid panel fabric with a subtle crepe weave. Now offered with an expanded palette of colors, classic neutrals are enhanced by the addition of soft, subdued colors. Together with Fundamentals, its companion fabric in the upholstery line, Essentials supports a broad range of palettes for all projects.
