Marsala - Pantone Colour of the Year 2015

Every year, Pantone - the world-renowned authority on the communication of colour across a variety of industries - announce their chosen Colour of the Year.  For 2015, the hue scientists at Pantone have chosen ‘Marsala’ as the go-to colour and the rather eloquent reasoning behind this year’s choice is as follows:

“Much like the fortified wine that gives Marsala its name, this tasteful hue embodies the satisfying richness of a fulfilling meal while its grounding red-brown roots emanate a sophisticated, natural earthiness.”

The effect of Pantone’s annual announcement is felt and normally embraced across the fashion, beauty and interior markets and therefore means that the colour they choose has to offer a certain versatility. After selecting a series of quite bracing and bold colours over the last few years such as ‘Radiant Orchid’, ‘Emerald’ and ‘Tangerine Tango’ for their Couleur de l'Année, Pantone’s choice this year has a more suave and luxurious feel to it than recent offerings and would certainly provide a hearty and rich warmth to any interior scheme.

We recently took delivery of a new Egg Chair - currently with 15% off as part of Danish Design Month - for our shop floor display upholstered in a “Marsala” colour inspired fabric… please drop in and see if you have room for this colour in your life until next year.
