Melded
A classic combination of red white and blue gets a futuristic update with this emerging hyper-saturated, melded finish. We’ve spotted these fresh tri-color combinations across beauty, editorial, graphics and photography, with strong elements of ultra-violet, material melding and 3D-vision influences.
Galvanized metals are a quick way to nail the trend, with oil-slicked color overlays tinted with lilac and spectrum tints over silver leather.
Chemical reactions of huge force seem to have melded materials together, giving off an un-natural UV glow. Chemical treatments under intense heat give materials a bubbled, melted and cooled finish.
Jia Hua’s graduate collection, photographed by Paul Jung has an irresistible luminosity where white light picks up an ultra-violet tint. Attrico’s Laguna glassware provides the perfect cosmic-color palette of fuchsia-tinged red and deep violet that has been forced together under high-temperatures.
Cyan is layered with laser light-streaks in neon artworks, a trend that wont seem to fade. Navy and red swashes of translucent color create forcefully melded prints.
