Luminary Issue 30 is created with LOVE. Six stories rooted in a deep love of colour (naturally). In creating the stories within this book we place LOVE at the forefront of how we design and how we work collaboratively toward a better future.
Celebrating over fifteen years of publishing Luminary forecast books, Issue 30 showcases a new design layout, offering even more colour insight. Now with 114 pages of deep research, hundreds of colour palette combinations and original photography created for Luminary by global artists.
Atomic Colour: This set of colours simulate nature at her highest level, from the deep green-blue shimmer of a hummingbird feather to the iridescent inky-purple of a sea anemone.
Romantic Colour: We create baby colours for grown-ups in need of comforting, baby blue and sugar mint offer sweet distraction. Pastel colours for overblown knits, puffed outerwear and marshmallow soft bedding.
Renaissance Colour: Gilded, lacquered and decorated surfaces glint and glimmer in the lamplight. Golden greens are glossy and decadent, rich olive oil and changeant velvet shimmer.
A love of one another and a love for our planet drives a revitalised vision of how we source and action colour and materials, with compassion and collective care embedded into each design decision.
In times of global chaos it is a natural desire to seek out stories which offer comfort, beauty or romance. Design is a nostalgic fantasy, as creatives use their craft to weave together stories of childhood memories, regenerating vintage materials and long-forgotten family heirlooms.
We champion the individuals, change-makers, inventors and activists who are brave enough to step out beyond the confines of ‘trends’ toward a new Renaissance era. Love is a powerful force to drive us forward, opening our hearts to a hopeful future.
