Tangerine Tango..
2012 is the year of Tangerine Tango, a color that is all the craze at the moment, one that is bright, vibrant and very popular in home decor. As a tribute we at Avant-Garde will be creating an entire category of products devoted exclusively to this color. This idea was Edward Saunder's and I had nothing to do with it and I have to admit it WAS A GREAT IDEA ON HIS PART.. Please stay tuned and as of Monday you will see Avant-Garde's Tangerine Tango category...
Following is a tid-bit my partner and Avant-Garde's creative director sent me on Tangerine Tango..
Enjoy the pics and post..
FROM EDWARD SAUNDERS,
AVANT-GARDE CREATIVE DIRECTOR
TANGERINE TANGO..
While researching this color of the year, I discovered it's
apparently a rather big deal in fashion and home decor. I know you're
busy, so if you can point me towards where to look, I'll be happy to search
for products in this color. I think it would be a good idea to add some products in Tangerine and feature the color..
I made a Tangerine Tango banner, and put together a couple of paragraphs about it if you want to add it to the site.
Every
year since 1963, the Pantone Color Institute has selected a color of
the year, the one color expected over the next twelve months to have the
strongest impact on fashion and home décor. Each year, this global
color authority sets standards for housing and other industries with
their announcement of that year’s color. For 2012, the color of the year
is Tangerine Tango, and it has already made headlines by showing up in
retail stores and runway shows earlier this year. After exploding onto
the scene with the Spring fashion shows, in the collections of Tommy
Hilfiger, Nanette Lepore and Adrienne Vittadini among others, designers
from every industry have been rushing to be on trend and include this
year’s hot new color in all their designs.
Reflecting
society’s struggles during difficult times, the 2011 color of the year,
Honeysuckle, was chosen to encourage us to face everyday troubles with
verve and vigor. As we begin to see the promise of better times ahead,
this year’s selection of the vibrant and spirited Tangerine Tango is
meant to provide the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward.
According to Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color
Institute, “Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive,
Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it. Reminiscent of
the radiant shadings of a sunset, Tangerine Tango marries the
vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and
warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates
heat and energy.”
We
at Avant-Garde agree that Tangerine Tango is not only a stunning color,
but is also the perfect choice to energize us during 2012 as we look
forward to a bright, positive future, and we applaud the Pantone Color
Institute for their bold selection. Whether you’re painting an accent
wall, or adding a lamp, vase or artwork to a room, this exciting color
brings vitality and life to any room in your modern home. Over the next
few months, as they become available, we will be adding more products in
this radiant color to our store, so visit often and keep a lookout for
Tangerine Tango, the 2012 color of the year, at AG Home Goods.
