Color is our visual perception of wavelengths of light. Our eyes read a spectrum of low to high vibration—from red to violet—each hue of the rainbow associated with progressively more elevated energy. In our summer issue, we celebrate bringing our higher selves to the world. We embrace vivid work by designers, painters, and illustrators. We talk with Berlin-based illustrator Olaf Hajek who brings a vibrant natural world to life in his debut collaboration with Christopher Farr Cloth. Writer and scholar Maile Pingel takes us on a delicious dive into the history of dominotiers, uncovering the fascinating history of wallpaper and the work of contemporary artists ensuring it thrives. San Francisco’s own color queen Chloe Redmond Warner shares an excerpt from her debut book, This Must be the Place, and we of course bring you the juiciest new collections of the season. 

Our summer issue always coincides with San Francisco Pride, and the SFDC invites you to celebrate with us – read more in Giving Back.

We hope you’ll bring your radiant self!
