Have you ever imagined how it would be if the marble walls of your living room changed their color to reflect another thematic scope? Or if the backdrop of your office changed its hue to transform into a whole new other decor? Well, now chew on this – an architectural representation of this apparent technology has already been showcased in Salone del Mobile 2013. Exhibited as the ‘No Bad Colors’ workstation (as part of Jean Nouvel’s Project: Office for Living installation in the SaloneUfficio space), the design was headed by Ron Arad. The advanced color changing technology itself was developed by UK based Versatile Technologies.
Christened as the ‘Active True Color’, the technology in a nutshell utilizes electric pulses to change the color scheme of the surfaces. Basically, these pulses ‘activate’ a layer of fluid material held between transparent sheets, which in turn has the ability to reflect a variant range of colors.
‘Reflect’ is the key word here, as the scope doesn’t use any form of back-lit mechanism or artificial lighting to focus on the altered color. Rather, one colored surface gradually gives way to another color, without the requirement of additional electricity for maintaining the new color form.
The energy efficient contrivance is also controllable with Bluetooth technology. This makes it conveniently accessible to the users, through daily-used mobile devices like smartphones, tablets and laptops.
