Tesserae

Change is good.

Why dynamic color is design-worthy.

Tesserae ColorMorph Material combines three things that have long been principle tools of architects and designers: technology, light, and color.

So much great work of the past has come about through creative minds taking advantage of new and emerging technologies. Look at the pyramids—ancient symbols to us, but built using the most advanced techniques of the day. Likewise the domed Pantheon, the buttressed arches of Notre Dame, the soaring spire of the Chrysler Building. An open mind to new technology is the first step to new ideas.

Likewise, playing with and, to the extent possible, harnessing light and color has always been a favorite mode of expression for artists and designers from Stonehenge forward. Look at the stained glass of the cathedral at Chartres. The mosaics of Ravenna. The interplay of glass and slabs of color in Bauhaus architecture.

In short, no work that is concerned with the way people use and enjoy space can be blind to the importance of color and light. Nor can it ignore the impact of technology on the way we live our lives.

In this context, CM is more than a material—it is a concept of color and control that can be woven into the fabric of a building or a living space. It is a tool to help you express your ideas in your work.
