Psychology of Colour in the Workplace, a one-day exhibition by König + Neurath, brought commercial designers to Margate’s Turner Contemporary gallery in October. The manufacturer’s thought-provoking demonstration of the effect of colour on mood and productivity, enlisted the help of global trend expert WGSN to present colour theories and suggestions for their application in workplace design.
Three office settings in different colour palettes were used to explore the themes of the day. The commercial architects and designers viewed a room at a time, reflecting on the thoughts and feelings stimulated by each one. The spaces have been created using the same pieces of furniture (a selection from K+N plus its event partners Chat Board, Artemide and Vorwerk), in order to emphasise the effect of the colours.
