Issue 33 | Devotion

Issue 33 | Devotion

In an era defined by acceleration, Devotion invites design leaders to pause — to return to what is sacred, sensory, and slow. 

Devotion weaves a visual story of colour, craft, and materiality. Issue 33 traces a deeply personal and poetic journey from Hydra in Greece to Mumbai India. Part pilgrimage, part poetic archive, Luminary reflects how emotional connection and cultural ritual shape the colour needs of the future.”

This is not colour for trend’s sake — this is narrative-led, culturally grounded colour and material direction designed to inspire meaningful creative strategies across industries.
