The Dyson Ceramic Apricot and Topaz range has been debuted as a new series of the brand's haircare appliances in a summer-ready hue to help consumers get excited for the impending end of winter.
The product range puts a mandarin orange, apricot blush and gold color scheme in the spotlight as a nod to the summer solstice. This gives the brand's Airwrap Coanda 2x, Supersonic Nural and Airdrop i.d. a modernized overhaul that embraces warm weather hues that also helps to give the professional appliances a more approachable profile.
Dyson CMF Design Manager Amelia Ayerst spoke on the Dyson Ceramic Apricot and Topaz range saying, "Researching the solstice, we were inspired by mapping out shifts in daylight intensity, temperature, and the colour spectrum. Using this data, we blended pigments that mimic the higher wavelengths of visible light found at sunrise, noon and sunset: warm apricots, bold oranges and playful pinks. The result – a palette that radiates liberation, energy and celebration – bringing the outdoors in and representing the high-energy vibrancy of the sun."
