AUTUMN

Green, a variable and versatile palette of over a hundred different shades, contains incredible nuances that reflect richness and abundance, balance and harmony within naturę. A color peaceful and restful to the eye, green provides an excellent contemplative background.

The design Autumn speaks to greens of the forest, their tones varying from deep fir greens to muted celadon greens, from the silver green of rosemary and sagę to the sap green of trees. Here its complementary tones of red, being warm and advancing, appear closer than the greens that surround them. The deep purple, whose base is red and blue, feels passive and retreating.

This color combination creates a nostalgie mood reminiscent of wandering through the forest in the late afternoon when the sun is leaving. It reflects a time to look within, to discover one’s inner strength. Its emotional content, amidst the nourishment of naturę, permits one to review life through quiet contemplation. Its introspective vibration allows the space in which to find oneself. The energy of A utumn is of quiet transformation, of re-evaluating and beginning anew, the time when the change of season offers a change of direction, when both the mind and body are renewed.

Such a chair enhances a quiet corner, a place of repose where A utumn encourages contemplation in the comfort of one’s surroundings. Its sense is not of isolation but rather preparation before deciding upon possible choices. Nothing dramatic or dynamie happens here, as the peace and tranquillity of accepting leisure space is offered in which to nourish new decisions.

RlGHT: How can one not respect the silence of the season when leaves fali and greens become dense and sombre, when a sense of winter’s coming can be felt in the cool night air. Such feelings are evoked by Autumns colors whose center pattern is as a path through the woods, whose right and left sides are the same, aware of coming changes, whose wool threads offer the comfort of warmth for winter.
