2 Fluorescents with cool pastels By WGSN-homebuildlife, 02 May 2012 This year brands apply fluorescent accents to cool greys and/or pastels for a modern play on neon. Scholten & Baijings collaborates with Mini to present the Colour One project. Small details of neon orange, yellow and pink is applied to car-parts to accentuate design. In certain areas a narrow ombré line merges the neon colour into matt grey tones. Society moves away from its iconic dusty pastel colour range and presents textiles in a sharp white and fluorescent palette. Clean white is worked in large proportions, with trimmings and details in neon yellow and pink.

6 Coral to red tones By WGSN-homebuildlife, 02 May 2012 Coral to red tones are the colour range of the moment. Shades vary from crushed raspberry or coral to pillar box red, with almost every shade inbetween. Swedese presents a new unique colour scheme where a range of red shades are worked together within one setting for impact. The chair and sofa are upholstered in bright red with a contrasting orange-cast red throw and a warmer dark red rug beneath. This tonal styling provides a surprising composition and a stunning result. SCP and zeljka Kavran s wood furniture pieces are displayed in solid bright red, with an almost fluorescent look.

Pale blue and sharp green also make the palette feel new.

10 Bold brights By WGSN-homebuildlife, 02 May 2012 A bold bright colour direction is taken on by many brands. Orange, bubble gum pink, coral and grey prevent the palette from becoming overly primary and instead becomes reminiscent of a Postmodern palette. Pale blue and sharp green also make the palette feel new. White accents or backdrops encourage the colour scheme to feel fresh and contemporary. Artek presents the classic Stool 60 in a range of stunning new colour-blocked variations, in a gloss paint finish.

13 Blue/grey tones By WGSN-homebuildlife, 02 May 2012 At this year's Milan Design Week, we see a shift from the recently popular grey tones, as brands move towards the blue range of the spectrum. Blue/grey is a popular choice for upholstery, often worked within a minimalist arrangement of tonal shades, resulting in an ultra-contemporary look, brought to the forefront by Doshi Levien for Moroso at the Salone del Mobile. Blue/grey tones are also seen mixed with browns, mid-sage green and orange for a retro approach.

Also paired with ecru, greys and khaki neutrals. Diesel accessorises its yellow Cloudscape armchair with washed indigo cushions. For furniture, yellow plays an important part for collections, used as a bold highlight against unfinished, lime washed or white painted wood. Molo Design collaborates with sound artist Ethan Rose to form a multi-sensory paper installation 'Paper Music. Built from vibrant yellow honeycombed paper walls, visitors are encouraged to brush their fingers across the walls whilst listening to Rose s tearing, ripping and crunching paper sounds.

Top three colour concepts By WGSN-homebuildlife, 02 May 2012 Here we take a look at the top three colour concepts and inspiring colour palettes offered by brands at this year's Milan design week 2012.

35 Top three colour concepts By WGSN-homebuildlife, 02 May 2012 Here we take a look at the top three colour concepts and inspiring colour palettes offered by brands at this year's Milan design week La Chance La Chance debuts at Milan design week 2012 with Jekyll and Hyde. This collection reflects the equal importance of two contrasting colour palettes - a black and white monotone palette worked against bright, bold colour ranges. The brand caters for two diverse tastes of the market by showcasing the same furniture and lighting collections in two colour stories. The display is split into two. On one side, Hyde presents pieces in bright bold colours, and on the other side of the stand, Jekyll uses only monochromatic tones. Co-founder of the brand Jean-Baptiste Souletie explains why they are offering customers more colour options: We see two potential audiences for luxury furniture. There are the design enthusiasts, who want uncompromising pieces in bold colours, then there are people who love contemporary design but prefer more muted tones. We re saying to consumers: choose your personality. La Chance at Milan Salone del Mobile 2012 La Chance at Milan Salone del Mobile 2012
