Seven years ago, I started to write ‘The Word of Colours’. My intention was to create a holistic lifestyle/design/art book grounded in soil and nourished by Prana (life force). How we consciously can change our lives with the help of colour. Inspired by the ancient Indian philosophy Ayurveda and formed for the modern world.
To create the book into a beautiful yin and yang form, I turned to the senior graphic designer Ehrling Braghfors, who has long experience from the graphic design world.
Under his wings, ‘The Word of Colours’ has become not just a book that stands out but a piece of art that will live for a long time.
Welcome to enjoy TWOC!
