Not everyone can perceive colour in its true form. Daltonism, a condition affecting 8% of the global population, significantly impacts the daily lives of thousands of individuals. Purple is one of the few colours that people with Daltonism can perceive.



This project combines red and blue pigments, which are imperceptible to their eyes, but when combined, they provide "the right colour." This lamp serves as a symbol for everyone who deserves to appreciate colour in its most natural state.


This project was exhibited with the design collective "La Tlapaleria" at Designerblock during the London Design Festival 2013. It was a collaborative effort with Santiago Gutierrez, a skilled blown glass craftsman.
