    BA OS 04 Pyrrol by Barber Osgerby

    Deep orange red. Pyrrol (Greek for red the colour of fire) conjures memories of the boldly painted houses that line the streets of old Copenhagen. It is a textured, deep orange red—a colour that commands attention.

    BA OS 04 Pyrrol is a clear colour, and we recommend: 
    To ensure the intensity of the colour, defined as a "clear colour", we are using special pure pigment to make the colour as clear and powerful as can be. These pigments often have a lower opacity, meaning they are less covering. We recommend a base colour in the same hue for the most satisfying result. You can order it here.

    COLOUR DIFFERENCES
    There can be colour differences between one finish to another (eg. from MATTE to HIGH GLOSS), so we always recommend that you test both the colour and the finish you want before you start on your paint project. 

    PRIMERS AND UNDERCOAT
    Primer might look like regular white paint, but it’s thicker and contains more pigment. Think of it as a base coat, providing a foundation that ensures a flawless finish. We have gathered the most imporant primers right here: Primers and undercoatIn general, it's usually not necessary to use primer when you are painting with our ULTRA MATTE or MATTE finishes. Our paint is of so high quality that you simply don't need a primer. If you are in doubt, please email us: bleo@bleocollective.com and we will get back to you right away.

    Still Life by Barber Osgerby

    If colour brings life to spaces and objects, a specific dynamism is generated when two colours are set alongside one another. The 18-shade palette of Barber Osgerby’s Still Life derives from the use of such pairings and adjacencies in art: where a painter selects one colour for a form and a second for its shadow. Still Life is also an expression of the way in which these chromatic interactions are impacted by the character of the ambient light, according to the time of day and the cycle of the seasons.

    Portrait of design-duo Barber Osgerby for Scandinavian colour and design house, Blēo.

    Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby founded their East London studio in 1996. For more than two decades their work has challenged the boundaries of design, while their commitment to lecturing, workshops and studio practice supports the development of new generations of designers. Barber Osgerby’s approach emphasises experimentation and innovation, with an exploratory attitude to materiality and colour. From these areas of focus emerge solutions that reflect the close relationship of their work with industrial processes and new technologies, but also its affinities with fine art.
