ODE TO COLOR - Lori Weitzner

Lori Weitzner, Principal and Creative Director of Lori Weitzner Design, is internationally recognized for her contributions to the world of textiles, wallcoverings, rugs, passementerie, stone, bedding, and other products for interiors and gifting.  Her work is in the permanent collections of museums such as the Cooper Hewitt in New York and The Victoria & Albert in London.  She is the recipient of more than forty design awards, and her work is regularly featured in the media, in such publications as Elle Decor, Architectural Digest, and The New York Times.

Lori travels extensively in search of materials, inspiration, techniques and artisans to create products that blend tradition with cutting-edge design.  Her fabrics and wallcoverings grace the celebrity homes of Julianne Moore, Will Ferrell, and Beyonce, among others, and have been used in costumes and sets for major motion pictures, including “Money Monster”, “Gangs of New York” and “Mission Impossible”.  They are also used in such eponymous commercial spaces as Google Headquarters, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Wynn Hotels.

Additionally, Lori is the author of ODE TO COLOR: The Ten Essential Palettes for Living and Design (Harper Collins), A People Magazine “Pick.” There, she shares her unique perspective on the uses and significance of color in design. To complement the book, Lori has developed the ODE TO COLOR Analysis, which guides participants to the color world that will best suit their homes, enhancing the way they live. She has created an immersive installation at the Venice Biennale entitled Ode to Color and has an alliance with Google XI to create multi-sensory activations. Lori lectures in countries around the world on the impact of color on well-being.

"Colour speaks to our senses on an emotional level. It influences our moods, conjures associations, evokes memories, decorates our lives, and is a basic form of self-expression"

Following the publication of Ode to Color, Lori developed a colour analysis, comprising 18 questions, designed to identify the color world or worlds best suited to enhancing the work and home interiors of participants. Find your colour world!
