Description

Chromorama, by acclaimed graphic designer Riccardo Falcinelli, explores the rich history of colour and its profound influence on how we perceive the world. This beautifully illustrated book features over 400 images spanning art and culture—from Flaubert’s novels to The Simpsons, Byzantine jewellery to Mondrian’s black lines, and Hitchcock’s thrillers.

Riccardo Falcinelli traces the evolution of colour through the industrial revolution and the digital age, revealing how these pivotal moments reshaped our visual experience. Combining insights from philosophers, designers, shopkeepers, and chefs, Chromorama uncovers the stories behind dyes, pigments, and pixels, explaining why we now see the world in such vivid hues.
