Pantone Institutes Names “Tangerine Tango” 2012 Color of the Year
Every year I look forward to hearing what Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute, names as Pantone’s Color of the Year. For 2012 it’s Tangerine Tango (PANTONE 17-1463). Bright, fresh and infinitely more versatile than last year’s Honey Suckle (PANTONE 18-2120,) Tangerine Tango is a warm reddish orange that can energize any room in your home.
“Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive, Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “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.”

Kitchen Sinks Reimagined – Introducing the Mick De Giulio Collection for Kallista
Internationally recognized designer and author Mick De Giulio recently launched a line of chef-inspired sinks for Kallista, a provider of luxury plumbing products and part of the Kohler Interiors Group. Two single-bowl kitchens sinks, the Multitiere and the Soltiere, feature a unique corner drain to maximize basin space and storage space under the cabinet, and custom accessories including a flatware tray and removable teak cutting board. The Multiere also includes a colander holder, a deluxe cutting board with knife holder, sharpening rod, dishcloth holder and drain board. The Soltiere fits into a standard 36″ sink base, while the 45″ Multiere requires a more generous space.
The 18″ Bacifiore is a crafted entertainment sink in polished stainless steel. Distressing the polished stainless provides a beautiful sheen that conceals scratches, finger marks and patina that naturally occur.
In the past, designers have treated sinks as an afterthought. The only criteria was stainless steel or porcelain; single-bowl or double-bowl. Mick De Giulio’s line has taken a standard kitchen element and seamlessly melded arresting style with uncommon functionality. Click on the video below to learn more or visit Kallista’s website.
