AURA

Color theory is defined as “a body of practical guidance to color mixing and the visual effects of a specific color combination”. This piece of furniture, known as “Aura” is a physical representation of color theory and the effect that color can have on human well-being. Additionally, being that color and interior design go hand in hand, paint becomes a large part of the equation. “Aura” utilizes paint stirs and paint swatches to emphasize this idea in combination with color theory. These stirs and swatches play a large role in formulating and selecting colors in interior design, becoming an integral part of the design process.
