About this product

Product Information

Dealing with color is a complex subject: influenced by standards, fashions and trends, we derive our ideas and concepts from color theories, intuition and personal preferences. The color swatches and systems for describing color common today are based on purely quantitative principles and include well over 1,500 colors. So how do we choose a particular color? More than ten years ago, the color chemist Katrin Trautwein established a company for manufacturing fine paints, starting out from Le Corbusier's color palette. She now has more than 900 recipes for paint from which she has proposed - based on her work with architects, designers and conservators - a selection of 128 colors that produce pleasant results on their own and also combine well. Each color is presented with a sample; their potential uses and significance are also discussed. Katrin Trautwein has lectured throughout the world on how to approach colors, given seminars, given expert opinions, advised architects, taught painters and worked as a restorer.

Author Biography
Ausgehend von der Publikation Polychromie Architecturale (A. Ruegg) unternahm die aus den USA stammende Chemikerin die Erforschung der Rezepte aller 63 Farbtone, die Le Corbusier zwischen 1931 und 1959 fur die Firma Salubra entwickelt hat. 1998 grundete sie die Farbenmanufaktur kt.color in Uster bei Zurich. 2000 erhielt sie die exklusive Lizenz der Fondation Le Corbusier, die 63 Farben als Kunstlerfarben und als Wandfarben (fur innen und aussen) herzustellen und weltweit vertreiben zu durfen. Seitdem baute sie ihre Manufaktur weiter aus, stellte weitere Farbrezepturen zusammen (insgesamt uber 900), entwickelte eine umfassende Weisspalette, beschaftigte sich mit historisch bedeutsamen Farben, die von der Industrie vernachlassigt worden sind (z.B. das Ultramarinblau von Yves Klein oder das Pompeijanischrot von Semper u.a.) und die im heutigen Einsatz sinnvoll sind, und zwar sowohl unter asthetischen als auch wirtschaftlichen und okologischen Aspekten. Neben der Herstellung von Farben wird Katrin Trautwein von Architekten und Bauherren zu Beratung und second opinion herangezogen, ausserdem bietet sie regelmassig Fachseminare fur Architekten, Innenarchitekten, Flachenmaler usw. zu den Themen Handwerk; Farbgestaltung; Pigmentfarben; Materialgrundlagen; Farbkonzepte mit Le Corbusiers Palette; Licht- und Schattenfarben; Neue Objekte, neue Farbkonzepte usw. an. Bei restauratorischen Projekten wird sie zur Farbbestimmung und Materialbeschaffung hinzugezogen (LC: Maison Blanche, Lux Guyer: Saffa-Haus u.a.); sie halt europaweit und in den USA Vortrage.
