Colour does not simply decorate a space — it defines how that space feels: whether it calms or energises, invites connection or encourages solitude, anchors us or unsettles us.
Walk-through colour memories. Stretching the full width of the facade, the window installation is a canopy of twenty-two discs, some hand-painted, some paper, each colour-matched between YesColours paints and GF Smith papers.
Spanning the full emotional spectrum, from grounding neutrals to bold and energising hues, each disc represents a distinct emotion and memory drawn from the people behind this collaboration.

A Case Study.
A collaboration between Conran and Partners, GF Smith, and YesColours
The way you make me feel.
A new immersive exhibition that celebrates spatial design, materials and colour — in the heart of London's design district, Clerkenwell.
The Way You Make Me Feel brings together the precision of Conran and Partners' spatial thinking, the material quality of GF Smith paper, and YesColours' belief that colour is never just visual alone — it's a tool that designers can use to benefit us all.
Designed to reconnect with colour.
Explore design materials.
Inside, the lobby becomes a colour journey through five distinct emotional stations.
Each is anchored by a large sheet of colour-matched GF Smith Colorplan paper suspended from the ceiling, and a plinth painted in the corresponding YesColours shade.
The five colours — Electric Yellow, Passionate Pink (Fuchsia Pink), Dirty Neutral (Chalk), Secluded Green (Mid Green), and Loving Grey (Slate) — represent a deliberately broad emotional spectrum, spanning 65 points of Light Reflectance Value from near-black to near-white.
