At the event I had the pleasure of having the two brilliant guests colour and textile designer Margrethe Odgaard and artist and writer David Batchelor.In this episode we talk about the meaning of colour, how colour is defined and how and why, especially designers, can struggle with colour. We investigate how we can get architects, artists and designers to embrace colours.
