Color Design - colour turns into design!

Lechler's new concept connects chemical development with the evolution of the language of colour.

Colour is a language that continues to evolve. Technological, cultural and artistic changes have always influenced the domestic landscape in our homes and surrounding environments.  The analysis of past products revealed that significant colour changes are recorded in cycles which means that general colour preferences for the near future can be predicted with a fair degree of accuracy.  

Defining new scenarios is an essential aspect of Color Design and contributes to determining the quality of home environments, architectural features of buildings and the commercial success of an industrial product. 

The Color Design Project by Lechler, organized in partnership with the industrial designer Francesca Valan, provides indications, suggestions and technical information to make choosing colour and finishes easier.

IVE products for EFFECTS finishes

IVE presents the new effects that can be obtained with the tintometric system LWE Effects

 

Below, you can learn more about the effects that can be obtained with the tintometric system LWE Effects. The effects are presented in the tool LWE Effect Proposal, applied on panel with each of 9 cycles that can be obtained with LWE.

Each panel is inserted in a cover representing a manufactured item that can be decorated with the presented effect and contains the description of the cycle in 4 languages. LWE Effect Proposal integrates with the new finishes of Lechler Color Design SynergÍa, a post metal perspective, that proposes the range of the most suitable colours to be combined with specific effects to underline their particular characteristics.
