IN FOCUS COLOUR QUOTIENT 15 Food is the latest obsession, chefs the new rock stars, and the kitchen is where the party is. Exposure to world cuisine has only whetted our appetite for more rollicking culinary adventures. Food is not just a thrill to the palate but a feast for the eye, a carnival of sensory indulgence. We are drawn, like moths to a flame, to the sights and sounds, flavours, textures, colours, and exotic tastes of startling ingredients that accompany food and cooking. There is an appreciation for the convivial atmosphere of delightfully decorated eating spaces bathed in glowing, warm, and energetic shades where people gather around enjoying food-related experiments and sharing experiences. And now this vibrant world is increasingly finding design resonance in the rest of the home too, livening it up with its joie de vivre colours.
