Summer is here, and with it, new colors enter our lives: for example, the pastel palette of the ice cream parlor or the open blossoms in the front yard. But what are colors anyway? And why do we perceive them the way we do? We explore these questions in the new form 292.

Insights into the magazine

From the land of paints and colors: Come again? Nail design in a design magazine? Design journalist Susanne Schaller reports that there is much more behind the topic than a kitschy, colorful pop-cultural phenomenon.

In her essay "Color & Class," design philosopher Mara Recklies examines how color and classism are related and what Martin Luther's clothing style has to do with it.

Physicist Philip Russell is a luminary in the field of physics. In an interview with form, the founding director of the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light explains why even he, as a scientist, perceives light as something magical.

In addition, for this issue, we turned to experimental offset printing, author Corinne Mynatt delves into the world of black light, designer Katrin Greiling answers three questions, Mike Meiré explains what design means to him, and Sebastian Herkner tells us about an object he unfortunately didn't design. All this and much more in the new issue of form. Available on form.de and in stores from June 24th.
