Dezeen has teamed up with Rado and Les Couleurs Suisse to host a panel discussion on how iconic architect Le Corbusier’s Architectural Polychromy colour theory has influenced the brands’ new watch collection.
Matthias Breschan, CEO of Swiss watchmaker Rado, Hakim El Kadiri, vice president of product development at Rado, and Matthias Naumann, CEO of Les Couleurs Suisse, will speak to Dezeen’s founder and editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs in a live panel discussion.
The talk coincides with the release of a new collection of watches produced by Rado in collaboration with Les Couleurs Suisse, a Zurich-based company that works in collaboration with the Corbusier Foundation to license the palette of colours developed by Le Corbusier in the 1930s for use in architecture and design.
Together, the brands have created a limited edition collection of ceramic watches in colours from Le Corbusier’s Architectural Polychromy palette.
The Architectural Polychromy colour theory and palette was first introduced in 1931 with a collection of 43 colours and was extended in 1959 with an additional 20 colours. The 63 colours are arranged into nine groups, which include both solid and graduated shades.
