Immerse in the World of Colours at the "Colours of Our Time" Exhibition

A Journey into the Colourful Past

The "Colours of Our Time" exhibition takes a deep dive back to the 1990s, exploring the intense vibrant colours such as blue and red of the era while also showcasing the timeless beauty of transparent plastics like PMMA and polycarbonate. These materials were popular in various designs of the time, from lights, computers, glasses, to tableware, defining the colour trends of the millennial generation as the 21st century dawned.
