“Soon it got dusk, a grapy dusk, a purple dusk over tangerine groves and long melon fields; the sun the color of pressed grapes, slashed with burgandy red, the fields the color of love and Spanish mysteries.”
– Jack Kerouac, On the Road
Traveling opens us up to new experiences. We see shades of the world we didn’t know existed, literally and metaphorically. Discovering a new hue of the sunset against a different horizon, or a flower in colors you had never seen before are things that change us. Novelty transforms, inspires and leaves a creative mark on our sensibilities. Travel, it is said, makes us better designers.
We bring you eight places you must visit if you are looking for design inspiration. The colors and designs drawn from the traditions and culture of these places are breathtaking!
