Interact and Communicate with JUNO JEON Furniture



anigif
Netherlands-based designer juno jeon has created two pieces of furniture that aim to bring ordinary objects to live, by making them interact and communicate with their users. The humor-infused project aims to create a relationship between our space, which is full of objects, and ourselves.
 ‘Pull me to live’ is a drawer that has a special skin: when the drawer is closed, it just sits there, showcasing its fancy skin. When it is pulled, its outer layer gradually changes the color from back to front. this creates the sensation that the drawer is reaction to the human stimulus, as if it was an animal. when the drawer is pushed back, its skin changes color again.A simple gesture of opening and closing the drawer changes the skin of the drawer
by painting the skin with two different colors, the user is able to appreciate its two faces

PANTONE: Colour of the year 2016

WHAT IS THE PANTONE COLOR OF THE YEAR?

A symbolic colour selection; a colour snapshot of what we see taking place in our culture that serves as an expression of a mood and an attitude.

For the first time, PANTONE has selected a combination of two shades – Rose Quartz and Serenity for its colour of the year 2016.

The prevalent combination of Rose Quartz and Serenity also challenges traditional perceptions of colour association. Rose Quartz is a sort of dirtier shade of baby pink, it’s a colour that would fit well in a retro 60’s environment of a Mad Men set and yet make you feel warm and comfortable. Rose Quartz asexualizes the colour pink in this generation of gender fluidity.

Serenity is another soft yet darker shade of baby blue, it encompasses the feeling of lightness and a general sense of calm, the same calm you derive while looking at a clear sunny afternoon sky.

PANTONE’s choice of two colours is a symbolic representation of the rebirth of gender centric colours like blue and pink in an asexual tone. Both the colours together represent a soothing sense of balance, order and peace.
