Recently, Color in Architecture published an extended article about our latest collaboration with Georgia Harizani regarding the design of The Case for Color, a portable color swatch box by the Greek branch of AkzoNobel Powder Coatings.
The Case for Color launched in 2021 and is still in circulation in 2022. The Case consists of a portable box that includes powder color samples, their specifications, and the variable ways to handle a color in order to convey knowledge and accommodate the needs of Interpon Powder Coatings Greece’s clients; architects, engineers and project managers in the local market.
The Case includes 60 super durable powder-coated color samples that can be applied on aluminium and steel surfaces. Each of them is followed by detailed information about the Interpon D2525 technology behind them, along with the specifications of the colors, such as shade, texture and gloss. In a very conveniently designed case, the metallic color samples are removable for closer, effortless observation.

This past year, we witnessed an unprecedented, unsettling yet enlightening period unravelling before our eyes that significantly changed the world as we know it.
Through restrictions and prohibitions, and with an imperative shift in the use of technology, this new era has its own characteristics and limits, imposing certain behaviours and excluding others. The future of work however, will not be the same for everyone.
The arts, the economy and press freedom have been severely impacted. Freedom of speech and certain views were oppressed and as a consequence, a rigid and indisputable perception of how we should behave, prevailed.
