CONTRIBUTORS

DATEBOOK • Circle these dates and fill up your spring calendar with Domino-approved happenings.

SCOUTING • After months of short, cold days and drab, gray skies, that first shock of canary yellow, bubblegum pink, and electric aqua at Stockholm’s iconic Svenskt Tenn (above) delivers a jolt of pure joy. We think of spring as one big, glorious reintroduction to color.

IN WITH THE NUDE

SOME LIKE IT HOT

FEELING GROOVY

CRIMSON & CLOVER

shaping community • Instagram doubles as a gallery space for this new crew of tech-savvy ceramists.

RAINBOW Rx • We’re used to thinking about color in the context of design—a new shade of paint, the pattern combo everyone’s obsessed with—but in terms of our own EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING? Not so much. Although maybe we should be. There’s a growing school of thought—one that’s recently moved from out-there alternative to downright mainstream—that believes COLOR IS THE KEY TO HAPPINESS, balance…and just about everything in between. From feeling confident and calm to getting a more productive night’s sleep, here are four easy color remedies to live by—GO AHEAD AND SELF-MEDICATE.

STOCKHOLM IN FULL SPECTRUM • Vivid and colorful are words that are rarely used to describe Stockholm, a city that’s synonymous with minimalist Scandinavian design and pared-down palettes. But according to Tekla Evelina Severin, an interior architect and photographer known for her bright Instagram aesthetic (you may know her as @Teklan), there’s a secret world of color-saturated subway stations and neon bars—you just need to know where to look.

DECORATING • Evocative patterns and surprising color combos (seen here in Havana) inspire us to go bold back home.

FRESH PRINTS • In small doses or large swathes, nothing creates an interior world like wallpaper. Here’s what the pros are loving and how they’re using pattern to banish the blahs.

FEELING ELECTRIC • Look on the (ultra) bright side with these fluorescent-hued finds.

CUBA IN LIVING COLOR • TEAM DOMINO JOURNEYED TO—AND FELL INSTANTLY IN LOVE WITH—THE CARIBBEAN’S MOST-TALKED-ABOUT ISLAND.

A FEW FAVORITE RESTAURANTS • Before leaving, we reached out to in-the-know friends, like Katalina Mayorga of El Camino Travel and NYC-based chef Camille Becerra (see her colorful salad creations on page 104), for their must-visit spots. It’s important to make reservations and jot down addresses in advance. Once you arrive in Havana, Internet service is spotty at best.
