Rood
Working in the realm of dyeing is like doing the delicate work of an alchemist: liquid dyes, powdered pigments, water and salts, bring them together and they yield an endless palette of shades of red: from dark to light, varying in intensity and saturation. Ultimately, the material and its original colour determine the outcome.
RENS has been and continues to be enamored by the allure of colour. In the early 2000s, the designers embarked on a series of experiments, daringly applying exclusively red pigments to a diverse array of materials: textiles, wood, metals, plastics.
Red has a beginning, but it seems to have no end: read about the shared history of red and RENS.
