Colour Deconstructed

Rate this book
In Colour Deconstructed, Tricia Guild aims to unlock the secrets of her distinctive style. Why are we drawn to certain colours and patterns? Where does inspiration come from and, most importantly, how do we translate that into a workable plan for our own homes? The book focuses on colour as a starting point but, through careful dissection, looks at how other elements of a room come together. Pattern, texture, function and atmosphere are all vital aspects that can make a room not only look stunning but also serve its purpose and establish the right mood and spirit. Featuring more than 25 decorative schemes arranged in seven colour chapters, it is this seemingly invisible equation that Colour Deconstructed aims to capture and analyse.

A colourful coffee table book, the text was hard to read on the pages with bold colours in the background. I was also a bit perplexed by the constant switching between gloss and matt pages. Other than that, I enjoyed the unique binding design.

Conocí el trabajo de Guild por primera vez a principios de los noventa cuando Ángel Pérez Gómez empezó a representar a la firma y sus creaciones textiles. Al hojear los catálogos quedé prendado, el uso del color era algo para mí nunca antes visto. Tengo en mi anaquel varios libros de su autoría y son sin duda mi referencia más importante cuando de color se habla, son todos magistrales.
“Colour deconstructed” es su más reciente título y es simplemente sublime. Literalmente presenta un arcoíris de imágenes, el color como un todo presentado en tonalidades una después de la otra. Del negro al carbón y de ahí al azul cobalto para pasar luego al aqua y llegar al magenta, sutil, elegantemente.
Fue el mismo Ángel Pérez Gómez el que me regaló este ejemplar y, como la primera vez que conocí el trabajo de Guild, quedé prendado. Es evidente que el uso de color es pieza clave en la creación de interiores pero la maestría de Tricia es iluminadora. Este, y varios títulos más, son indispensables en las repisas de cualquier amante del color.
