Globally acclaimed architectural designer John Pawson, whose work includes the new Design Museum in London, is always taking photographs of patterns, details, and textures to inform his work. His architecture might be known for its limited colour palette - primarily white - but his photographs tell another story. SPECTRUM takes you on a multicoloured journey across the world through a carefully curated sequence of 320 images. It's a celebration of colour from one of the most unexpected sources.
