PANTONE, considered the global authority on color, has announced its annual Color of the Year pick. PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer, “a billowy white imbued with a feeling of serenity, takes this year’s honor.
“At this time of transformation, when we are reimagining our future and our place in the world, PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer is a discrete white hue offering a promise of clarity,” says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. “The cacophony that surrounds us has become overwhelming, making it harder to hear the voices of our inner selves. A conscious statement of simplification, Cloud Dancer enhances our focus, providing release from the distraction of external influences.”
“We are living in a transitional time where people are seeking truth, possibility, and a new way of living,” Laurie Pressman, vice president of the institute, added.

Wormhole, IL Bronzetto
Inspired by a twentieth-century lamp model, the Wormhole collection is represented by the characteristic lampshade with a double system of lights, designed to light up the two hemispheres of the space in which it’s located. It’s available in different sizes and options–including floor lamps, spot lamps, chandeliers, table lamps and wall lamps. All the Wormhole varieties can be completely chromatically customized, choosing from different colors and finishes for the aluminum of the lampshade and the brass of the structure.

Lumbre Sink with Elemental Legs, Stone Forest
The Lumbre Sink is a refined fusion of sculptural stone craftsmanship and architectural precision, designed to stand out while seamlessly integrating into high-end bath and powder room spaces, the company says. Carved from honed Carrara marble, the 26-inch-wide basin is mounted on the brand’s Elemental Wall Unit with heavy-duty in-wall steel brackets and hand-finished metal hardware.


DA-DA faucet, Zazzeri
The Italian brand says the DA-DA faucet collection has been restyled and now offers solutions for kitchen and bath and more finishing options. Available in single-hole, three-hole and built-in versions, the faucets come with either a squared or round neck, with cross or lever handles. “The MONO lever operated versions underwent a restyling which implied a reshaping of the lever for a better balanced and, at the same time, more minimalist aesthetic appearance,” the company says. New models include the floor wash basin mixer tap, the floor bath tub column and the ceiling wash basin jet with the related remote controls.


Plissè vanity, Sbordoni Ceramica
The brand says the Plissè vanity’s appearance and style breaks with the company’s history. It features a cabinet with a built-in Masaccio sink and side storage column. Made from water-repellent medium density fiberboard to resist the moist environment, the sink comes in a smaller size to fit small or large bathrooms.

Eight other colors are available.

Art Fluted Vessel, Hastings Bath Collection
The Art Vessel Sink is conceived as functional sculpture for the bath. Crafted in Italy from a creamy high-gloss glazed ceramic, its refined proportions and vertical fluted relief introduce texture, light play and architectural rhythm to the space.
