Chromarama IV

Most colour blind people can see colours but have difficulty distinguishing certain colours. They often accept two colours as a match, while those with unaffected colour vision see them as very different colours. Chromarama sprouts from the desire to raise awareness about colour blindness in the design field. How can we include colur vision defects in both functional and aesthetic design?

Following extensive research in cooperation with a colourblind peer group, Laura Luchtman developed a pioneering series of tapestries that caters to people with colour deficiency. Graphic colour compositions and textural threads come together to create an aesthetic display that not only looks beautiful, but can be appreciated by everyone.

Tapestry “Chromarama IV” is designed for blue colour blindness. Only colours that are visible for this form of colour blindness are used, so that we all see the same colours and design.
