Ten purple projects that range from deep violet to light lilac
From a playful furniture collection to a collapsible dress, we've rounded up 10 of the best purple projects from Dezeen's archive that recall Pantone's latest colour of the year.
Last week, colour company Pantone named Very Peri as its colour of the year for 2022. Made from a combination of violet-red undertones and shades of blue, the colour sits somewhere within the purple spectrum. However, the colour company is describing it as a "periwinkle blue".
Purple is historically connected with royalty and creativity and its use in architecture and design often reflects these connotations.
"The colour is still routinely associated with royalty, extravagance, wealth and power," wrote Michelle Ogundehin in an opinion piece on Dezeen.
"It was the colour of the elite. A portent of vanity, greed and pride," she added. Read on for a selection of projects that make the most of this versatile colour:

In Between by Sun Woo
South Korean fashion designer Sun Woo Chang's In Between collection aims to provide wearers with a "portable home" that can be easily collapsed.
Among other items in the 13-piece collection is this two-tone, floor-length dress that is purple in the front and lilac in the back. Steel wire and PVC tubes were used to create rings around the dress, much like the design of a pop-up tent.
