Color harmony in sync with nature – Torben Hansen’s color system

Nature tells fascinating stories about colors, moods, ageing and transformation. This inspires us to treat wood with respect and to process it naturally.

For decades, Torben Hansen conducted research on ways to transfer the colors of nature to wooden surfaces to accentuate their character and expressiveness optimally. He developed a system for these hues. Conceived as a unique tool for designers and architects in particular, the color system shows the virtually unlimited opportunities to design using wood in combination with other materials. Hansen’s color system will be presented for the first time during the MCBW at the Schotten & Hansen crafts room at Ludwigpalais in Munich.
