"Color reflects the brilliance of our natural world, and has even been shown to make us happier overall, certain hues lifting our mood simply by entering our field of vision."
"Mitchell's practice-operating at the intersection of craft, utility, and visual culture-draws from a wide spectrum of references including '90s hip-hop and retro streetwear to graffiti and childhood iconography."
"Color, in this context, becomes emotional currency, triggering responses that feel at once nostalgic and immediate."
"Each piece brings its own unique flavor, emphasizing tactility and the push-pull of saturated tones."
The current design landscape has shifted towards dull palettes, with grey being marketed to children. Color is essential for happiness and reflects the vibrancy of nature. Memphis Milano, a design movement from the eighties, challenged Modernist norms and influenced contemporary styles. The Cedric Mitchell x JOOPITER collaboration embodies this spirit, emphasizing texture, color, and narrative. Each piece in the collection draws from diverse cultural references, using color as emotional currency and creating tactile, sculptural forms that evoke nostalgia and immediacy.
