Description
Asian Paints ColourNext is an annual forecast that distils emerging social shifts into colour, material, finishes and textures, expressed through four theme stories and a colour of the year. It is the culmination of yearly research in India and other relevant countries. This year's themes: Solarpunk, Pastoral, IRL, Daydream and Moonlit Silk, unfold in a sensorial, spatial narrative within a 6000 sq. ft space at India Design Week, Delhi, and subsequently at Nilaya Anthology, Mumbai. The event brings together interior designers, architects, and prominent practitioners from India and around the world. To articulate this event through materiality and techniques, we created 4 immersive narratives—Pastoral, Solarpunk, IRL and Daydream. Each space used distinct material languages, from woven biomaterials and woollen terrains to parametric metal, projection-mapping, 3D-printed terracotta and recycled composites, transforming colour forecasting into a lived, emotional and shared experience.
