Postmodern style color

The core spirit of "postmodernism" is achieved through deconstruction and reorganization of colors, materials, and shapes (patterns). The importance of color is beyond our imagination.



In the current diversification of lifestyles, in those spaces that have received many praises, you can often see style symbols that can talk and communicate with each other. They are gathered by a certain force, maintaining their inherent characteristics, and working together to complete The shaping of one space after another, this kind of space that makes people feel undefinable, is often called a "mix and match" style.

The three dimensions of each style can be disassembled and recombined to form a new style. This kind of "deconstruction" and "reorganization" is precisely the core spirit of "postmodernism". The importance of color is very significant.
