THE Kuala Lumpur Design Festival (KLDF) is hosting its fourth edition this weekend, framing Kuala Lumpur as a city of infinite hues and pigments with its theme CMYK*L – a nod to the CMYK colour model for printing that combines cyan, magenta, yellow and black.
Opening today at Damansara City (DC) Mall, the Kuala Lumpur Design Festival (KLDF) asks a vivid question: “What colours define Kuala Lumpur?”
Design students from across Malaysia were invited to answer through the CMYK*L Design Exhibition, featuring selected works on Level 2 of DC Mall – from illustrations and motifs to fashion, projection mapping and furniture.
“As a thriving metropolis, Kuala Lumpur is a blend of not just people and culture, but also colour. Like sound, taste and smell, colour transmutes from one location to the next, like food and fruits to signages and buildings. But it becomes part of the background. That’s why we’re using design this year to highlight the role of colour and explore what is Kuala Lumpur through this lens,” says Nizar Musa, creative director of KLDF.
