I hear colour
19th-century French poet Charles Baudelaire loved a bit of synesthesia in his work. That's the concept of conflating or transposing the senses, where the reader is encouraged to hear colours and see sounds, for example. The avant-gardiste wasn't an early proponent of well-being, as far as I know. But he could have been, given what we know now about the impact our aural and chromatic environments have on our physical and mental health.
Acoustic expert Rockfon's resolutely architectural stone-wool acoustic ceiling tiles and wall panels have long been a credible option when shaping contract spaces and how users experience them, but, with their new research-underpinned Color-all range and its 34 nature-derived hues, they've just given architects and designers the ability to author immersive, sensory-rich, yet controlled, landscapes that do us good.
