dear designboom reader,

in our recent interviews, designers and artists play with vibrant colors, which can attract immediate attention. it’s one of the reasons joachim roncin, paris 2024’s head of design, employs pink for the visual identities of the olympic and paralympic games. colorful shades are also a feature for andrés reisinger, whose digital series ‘take over’ has bled into the physical realm, from miami to jeddah.

our conversations can highlight using technology to put design into play. in love hultén’s case, that’s the gooey liquid moving inside his ferrofluid synth visualizer, a sound machine that designboom presented at sónar+D. bob verlaat and his team even conceal sound filters in hears’ heart-shaped earplugs, so people who party and rave can still look fashionable as they dance the night away.

thanks for reading!
