KEN SCOTT UNCONVENTIONAL

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Ken Scott Unconventional collection celebrates the transformative power of interior design. It is a collaboration between Inkiostro Bianco and Ken Scott, aiming to create spaces that reflect the personality and spirit of their inhabitants through vibrant colors and eccentric designs.

Design Philosophy
The collection seeks to break conventional expectations with its artistic designs, offering new forms, spaces, and colors that transform static wall surfaces. The designs aim to integrate walls as part of the overall environment, creating a space that is unconventional, cheerful, and engaging.

Ken Scott's Legacy
George Kenneth Scott, born in 1918, was a renowned designer who began his career in New York and later moved to Paris and Milan. He was known for his work in printed fabric design and his collaborations with major fashion houses like Dior. His legacy continues through his foundation, which preserves and promotes his work.

Key Quotes
Ken Scott emphasized the importance of creativity over styling, stating, "I loathe the word ‘stylist.’ A stylist is someone who selects other people’s ideas, not someone who creates them." He also highlighted his preference for bold colors, particularly shocking pink.

Collection Highlights
The collection includes various designs such as KS CANCELLATA, DOMINO, CORIOPOLIS, VANITÀ BLOOM ZIGANO, ROSA NERA, and PEGGY G, each with unique identifiers and styles.

Credits
The project involved contributions from marketing and communication by Francesca Barbieri, art direction by Manuel Mollicone, and visual design by Paolo Amenta, among others. The Ken Scott Foundation and Mantero are acknowledged for their support.

KEN SCOTT UNCONVENTIONAL-2

WALLCOVERINGS TO LIVE LIFE IN COLOUR Ciò che solitamente è cornice atta ad accogliere la scena che rappresenta l’arredo, diventa parte integrante del quadro creato dal progettista nell’ambiente. Un luogo non convenzionale dotato di un carattere deciso, allegro, ritmico. Uno spazio accogliente e coinvolgente, un invito a uscire dal pensiero ordinario. L’occhio si perde come si perdono i confini, così spesso troppo stretti, espandendo lo spazio e la percezione dell’abitante. Ken Scott Unconventional non è solo una collezione, ma un’esperienza visiva audace pensata per stupire e lasciare il segno....

“Il mio colore preferito resta il rosa shocking. Forse questa mia passione è nata in Guatemala, dove la gente veste di rosa violento anche per la festa dei morti, e tinge i cani dello stesso colore.” “My favorite color will always be shocking pink. Maybe my passion for that color began in Guatemala, where people wear bright pink even on all souls’ day, and they dye their dogs’ fur the same color.”
