Pantone’s Color of the Year 2012 Tangerine Tango

The bold reddish-orange hue was announced color of the year by Pantone Color Institute. According to Pantone's statement, Tangerine Tango offers "the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward."   Whether it's used in small or large quantities, orange is a strong color.  Here are few projects that embraced the bold hue and executed their designs beautifully.  We'll start with a pop of orange and finish off with striking all-orange spaces.

Project Crush: Liveo Olive Oil

Project | Liveo

Location |  Tel Aviv completed in 2008 & Jerusalem 2009 

Interiors |   Baranowitz + Amit

Liveo is an artisan olive oil Boutique in Israel.The store's concept was inspired by abstracted natural forms, used to create an elegant and clean backdrop to the product itself. Laser-cut technology was used to create the back-lit perforated pattern of the walls and ceiling. White, cantilevered shelves stretch along the walls to form a continuous product display. Olive wood veneer islands, floating in glass cylinders, serve as free-standing display units.

 

 

 

 

 

Elixir Product Fix: Alkemi Recycled Metal Surfaces

Alkemi-acrylic is made using pre-consumer waste aluminum flake, solid surface scrap, and recycled acrylic.  Alkemi can be installed by a mill worker or caseworker with using with conventional tools and fabrication methods.   

Alkemi-acrylic is offered in sheet sizes of 36"x72” and 48"x96”, sheets are 5/8" thick.  Available in matte (a high gloss finish can be achieved by your fabricator) and 20 different colors. My favorite colors from their offerings are Lazuli (left) & Aquarius (right):

Things to keep in mind if you plan to specify Alkemi-Acrylic:

1. Limited heat tolerance, Protective trivets should be used to protect the surface from hot pots.
2. A stainless steel insert or transition should be used for installation of burners and cooktops.
3. Stain resistant against most common liquids. Acidic liquids, including red wine, if left to remain on the surface for extended period of time can stain.
4. Stains and scuffs can be sanded and polished off to restore the surface by qualified fabricators.
5. Can be used horizontally or vertically in interior applications, but  will require full substrate support.
