Books, designs and pastel colours - what's not to love?! That's why this week's Weekend Reading is the fifth in the Palette book series - Pastel New Soft-Toned Graphics. This edition brings you numerous examples of designs displaying the way in which pastel colours can portray a sense of calmness, sophistication and style. Design studio Anagrama's influential pastel branding for French-inspired Bonnard Macarons has got to be one of the best examples of using muted pastel tones to create a premium brand. Anagrama create a fresh aesthetic to post-impressionist paint strokes, referencing the French artist Pierre Bonnard, on which the company is based upon.
