PANTONEVIEW home + interiors 2022 Digital book Involved, Resolved, Evolved

As we begin to reset our lives, we look with new eyes toward an unknown future. Grounded by our desire for safety, security and well-being, we assess what is of value. Anchoring ourselves in a positive outlook, we draw on our ingenuity, creativity, resiliency and flexibility to refocus differently and find inventive ways to move forward. Healthier living and the comforts of simpler pleasures take center stage as does a desire for clarity and a less-is-more approach to design. Shared origins connect to humanity in new ways as we transform the narratives of the past into modern tales. A soothing, bucolic way of living appeals as do the colors and patterns of pristine wildwoods. We venture out on road trips to encounter rocky hills and wild lakes while also innovating, activating, and unleashing our imaginations in sculpted metallics and repunk’d brights that break boundaries, embrace technology and explore a digital universe brimming with possibilities.

In The Joy Issue, we explore the joy of creativity, featuring creatives who design joy into their practices to spread positivity, optimism, and happiness. Generating joy has a domino effect; uplifting and inspiring maker and creative which then spreads to those who encounter their work, in turn influencing mental health, helping us achieve happiness and meaning, even acting as a powerful force for activism and change. Responding with determination to the current challenges of the past two years, designers, creatives, thinkers, and activists featured in this issue, illustrate how color, creativity and ingenuity go hand in hand to bring joyfulness. Recognizing that what constitutes a joyful life is as individual as every human being, we embrace a range of colors from muted pastels and shades redolent of the earth to a euphoric showcase of zingy hues imbued with youthful energy to super bright tones reminiscent of grunge. We hope this issue brings not only inspiration, but a sense of joy, and an openness to be bold and playful.
