“Do you know Isaac Newton’s Theory of Colour? Or maybe Goethe’s? We present you with a total of 59 easy-to-understand, richly illustrated colour theories from the Antiquity to modern times: in short, a complete cultural history of colour written by Prof. Narciso Silvestrini and Prof. Ernst Peter Fischer.”
“These pages are a resource for artists and art students that focus on the technical fundamentals of perspective, shading, color and painting. They were compiled and designed by Ralph Larmann, art faculty member in the University of Evansville Art Department, and are intended for educational use only.”

Leap WorkLounge and Ottoman (I feel like I’m cheating on Herman Miller by linking this!): “Combining the comfort and style of a classic club chair with Steelcase’s groundbreaking Leap technology, the Leap WorkLounge and Ottoman brings new possibilities to the well-appointed office, whether at work or at home. Designed to support an extended range of alternative work postures, the Leap WorkLounge allows the sitter to work while upright, relaxed, or reclined. Its companion ottoman acts as a footstool or as an auxiliary seat for visitors; with a simple movement, the ottoman also rotates up to provide a small worktable for reading, writing, or laptop computing.”

“While everything is, technically, an experience of some sort, there is something special to many experiences that make them worth discussing. In particular, the elements that contribute to superior experiences are knowable and reproducible, which makes them designable. The concept to grasp is that all experiences are important and that we can learn from them whether they are traditional, physical, offline experiences or whether they are digital, online, or other technological experiences. In fact, we know a great deal about experiences and their creation through these other, established disciplines that can-and must-be used to develop new solutions. These aren’t always obvious and, surely, they aren’t fool-proof, but it’s important to realize that great experiences can be deliberate and based upon some principles that have been proven.”
