Elevate your narrative: the collection TUD x PANTONE where every color tells a story.
At the intersection of artistry and chromatic innovation, the “Chromatic Avant-Garde” collection The Ugly Duck inspired by PANTONE transcends the conventional boundaries of creative expression. This collection is not merely a showcase of colors — it is a testament to the profound philosophy that breathes life into each art object.
Founded in 1962 by Lawrence Herbert, the Pantone Color Institute has been a pioneer in the world of color for over six decades. Herbert’s groundbreaking invention of the Pantone Matching System (PMS) transformed the way industries communicate and standardize colors, becoming a crucial tool for designers and manufacturers.
In the 1980s, Pantone gained widespread recognition with the introduction of its Color of the Year, a symbolic selection that influences design trends across various creative fields. Renowned for its meticulous color categorization, Pantone’s system is the global standard for accurate color reproduction in printing, textiles, and digital design.
Collaborations with leading brands and designers have solidified Pantone’s reputation as an authority in color, shaping the visual landscape of our times. From classic colors to cutting-edge hues, Pantone continues to inspire and guide the creative process, ensuring that its legacy remains vibrant and enduring. Today, the Pantone Color Institute stands as a beacon of creativity, innovation, and trendsetting, leaving an indelible mark on the world of color and design.
It beckons individuals to embrace the richness of diversity, find beauty in the timeless, and weave their own stories within the vibrant tapestry of chromatic expression.
