About
Colour shapes how we experience the world. It influences how we feel, our wellbeing and even our health. It informs the design and craft of products and spaces — from the handmade to the mass produced, from our homes to public places. For London Craft Week 2026, de Le Cuona has invited two renowned experts in colour – Anna Starmer, colour futurist, and Professor Stephen Westland, Chair of Colour Science and Technology at the University of Leeds School of Design, to join Bernie de Le Cuona and journalist Dylan Jones OBE in a panel conversation to discuss the craft and psychology of colour.
