2020
In our latest edition we take you on a wonderful conjunction between history and modern times. The object report on the City Gate Bremen impressively shows how these apparent contrasts can be joined together in an elegant way.
Most of us are still affected by the Corona issue every day; many aspects will be our permanent companion for quite a long time with regard to our professional and private life. The cancellation of major trade fairs and personal events has made it clear to us how rapidly our world is currently changing. This also applies to the area of colour and colour design, not least because of its close link to materiality and surface design.
