Presentation
Matali Crasset is famous for her colourful modules, which give her objects a sense of depth. The villa, known as ‘Les Heures Claires’, also takes on a sense of depth as Corbusian colours adorn its walls. Viewing colour as a form of decoration is a common thread shared by both artists. Through this themed tour, visitors discover the importance of colour in furniture design and in modern and contemporary architecture.
Key concepts:
- Argue a point of view on the impact of colour on the perception of an architectural space
- Establish links between modern architecture and contemporary design based on specific elements observed during the tour
