Pantone Room

For this season’s Pantone Room at Phillips’ Hong Kong auction, we chose Pantone 2746C, a calming shade of twilight blue. The design inspiration came from the Nakagin Capsule Tower in Japan and the iconic architecture — rows of stacked cubes and large circular windows looking into capsule spaces. You can see that in the Pantone Room with the large circular windows, encouraging visitors to peek through and look at the art and furniture. The first piece you see is the Yves Klein sculpture, framed perfectly by the circular window. Its shade of blue fits with the overall theme of the room.  We hope this installation encourages visitors to explore the pieces in the sale and feel what it’s like to live with the art in their homes.
