Bland is anathema to Carlos Mota. As he travels the world
producing feature stories and ad campaigns for countless
publications and companies, he exults in every spark of
originality and creativity he sees. Fortunately for us, he not only
documents his sightings with his camera but also collects images
by a Who’s Who of interiors and architectural photographers.
And in this volume, he has culled more than 270 of his favorite
images, all wholly different but all sharing one quality: the
beauty of color, both literally and figuratively. There are interiors,
table settings, textiles, spices, jewels, floral arrangements, tiles,
paintings, sculptures, architectural ornamentation—whatever
captures his discriminating eye. Peppered with quotes about
color and beauty by a host of designers, Beige Is Not a Color is the
antithesis of bland and as aspirational as it is inspirational.
