Colour Hive is a color material, and finish forecasting agency, who specialise in forecasting colour material and finish trends two years ahead of the season.
Today we have an installation of objects and materials that fall in line with one of our design directions from our 2024 season called provenance,
so all of the materials and objects you see here today have been featured in our colour material and finish report for 2024.
and they follow a certain narrative related to the provenance story, which hinges a lot on sustainability, manufacture process and the sort of terrible attributes of greenwashing.
So you’ll see materials on our installation today made from dog hair waste, materials made from Eel Grass which is a very common grass found in rivers and Lake beds.
and anything from laser cut fabrics and papers to a beehive made from cow poop.
