notes:
Black in current design is the lack of colour that has an almost sweltering presence on all levels, from the natural quality of materials, via the inevitability of phlegmatic acceptance of normality, to colour codes worn by self-appointed bearers of culture. In Black Bazaar designer Ineke Hans and publicist Ed van Hinte playfully and critically explore the puzzle of design considerations in the context of black. It is the colour of ink and silhouettes and a metaphor for conventions and the reason why certain design decisions occur. No colour is just a colour, especially black.
