About this design:



Design for tea towels using Pantone’s “Intangible” palette. 


Details

Pantone’s “Intangible” palette includes colors that invite the tactile and sensitive to prevail as an intangible value, symbolizing contrasts and mixtures between anthropological memories and hopeful futures. Disembodied, abstract and moving colors that together offer light and when displayed in subtle gradient effects create a look of magical, iridescent mirrors.
