Name: Anna Lorenzetto
Home town: Koo Wee Rup, in the Westernport District of Victoria
Where I live now: Cranbourne, in the Melbourne's outer South East
Background/Occupation: Industrial Design, specifically homewares
My favourite colour: Fushia
What I think of when I think of the colour blue:
Duck egg blue; an Upper East Side brownstone sitting room; a velvet sofa
Three cultural values that are important to me:
Purity (of intention.) [Some people might use authentic to describe this]
Compassion
Consideration for others
Five images of things coloured blue that have meaning for me:
Big Sky places. I love seeing expanses of sky meet the horizon.
Blue flowers in the garden. I don't know what these flowers are but I see them often in gardens where I live. I love blue flowers in a garden: hydrangeas, perennial geraniums, delphinium, hyacinth; whatever they may be they always call my attention. While I notice any intense colour in a garden blue flowers seem to defy logic in a way that other flowers don't.

Blue used interior design. I love the use of blue in interiors - in any capacity: walls, soft furnishings, wallpaper. Blue is the only colour that can look both classic and edgy; old and new world; traditional and contemporary; opulent and utlitarian, simultaneously.
Blue ink. I prefer to write in blue ink. It gives greater definition to the letters and stands out on the page better than black ink.
High Society. This film was a formative influence on my subsequent homewares design aesthetic. When I think of blue my mind typically returns to this period and style of interior and fashion design that was seen in many films such as Pillow Talk, North by Northwest, Breakfast at Tiffany's.
