:: PMS

March 31, 2011
Where does the term Pantone come from? Is it about the tone? And who is the Pan? Does he have little goaty hooves? And who thought that PMS was a good idea? Pantone Matching System? Will it make you bloated and moody?
Anyhoo…
Pantone chairs! How good are they? They would be the fanciest camping chairs you ever did see. Or you could be trad and have them in your kitchen, of course. You would really need every colour, because if you ARE moody you might need to sit on a different colour each day. I think that’s called colour therapy, isn’t it? For PMS. The tins are good too, but it doesn’t look like they do many colours. I would really need an orange one, I think.

    My Dad's a graphic designer, and I have many memories of sitting in his studio playing with the massive Pantone sample books. Kept him sane, kept me happy. Whoever would have thought they would turn it into a chic commercial enterprise… I'm not sure about it yet – I saw Pantone postcards in Paperchase the other day and I couldn't help thinking 'what's the point?'

    I love the Pantone stuff. I was given one of their stripey mugs for Christmas last year by a friend, but due to our recent earthquake, it is now sitting lonely and unloved on my desk in our yellow/red stickered building. I really miss my mug – but am utterly grateful that I am alive, still have a job and our house is OK.

    Doesn't Pantone just mean colour? I am Pantone mad- I love their products! I am very much in love with my little red Pantone mug. Love the PMS theory by the way.

    Those are super cute! They'd look awesome sitting around a formica table in someone's dining room.

    p.s. It was lovely to meet you last week in your shop! I just blogged about the store and what I got here:http://thislittleport.blogspot.com/2011/04/melbourne-love-meet-me-at-mikes.html
