Abstract

The development of the design solution for textile screen and panel coverings for the Axiom Office Furniture Programme is described and the relevance of existing knowledge of colour theory and visual perception is considered. The design process made a conscious attempt to establish the potential for emotional correspondence between end users and the product. Consideration of theories of perception confirms that the design solution may achieve this objective.
