“Having been entranced by Carnovsky’s incredible installations, it is so exciting to be able to deliver the Australian debut of these stunning designs in this one-off exclusive for Design Futures, Decoration+Design Melbourne from 19-22 July, 2012.
Thanks to the support of Safari Living, Carnovsky will be producing a custom installation of their Animalia RGB wallpaper, to be presented at the heart of this season’s feature, Colour Visions.
The work of Carnovsky is the perfect example of the new ways in which designers are challenging our understanding and appreciation of colour and light. Having been selected to show in the most prestigious trend forums across Europe in 2012, it is thrilling to now showcase their work in Australia for the first time.
In Colour Visions, these designs will appear as an enclosed room with LED lighting shifting through the colour spectrum. As the colour of the light changes, aspects of the design are revealed and recede. Within the room, a white dining setting will emphasise this relationship between transmitted and inherent colour.”
