Metropolitan Melange by Gonzalez Haase AAS
The palette by Gonzalez Haase AAS is based on a correlation between the blue sky and its reflections in contemporary architectural elements. Mirror images and opalescent glass, satin stainless steel and matte aluminium, absorption properties of concrete—the chosen materials are intricately connected to today's architecture and are deeply embedded in Gonzalez Haase’s design language. By analysing the phenomena of reflection and absorption of the blue sky on these materials, Gonzalez Haase has developed a palette of 18 colours ranging from vibrant sky blues to warm concrete greys.
The process of describing each material's spectrum has been conducted methodically by selecting three tones for each material: the base colour, the shadow tone, and a highlight. These tones are intended to interact with the natural sky.
