1 THE COLOUR ACTIVIST

Dagny Thurmann-Moe

Creative executive of Koi Colour Studio – Norway’s first multidisciplinary colour consultancy – Dagny is one of the world’s foremost colour designers. A driving force for increasing awareness about how colour can be used positively within urban spaces, architecture, product development and graphic design (consult her 2017 book Farger Til Folket! [Colour to the People!] for more), her palette pairings are legendary. Burgundy with red, brown with brights, aubergine and mustard, they all started with her.

2 THE COOK

Ixta Belfrage

As one of Yotam Ottolenghi’s right-hand women, you may have eaten Ixta’s food without knowing it. She develops many of the recipes in his column in The Guardian - the sweet and sour sprouts with roasted chestnuts and grapes being a notable hit - and is now stepping into the limelight as co-author of his new book, Ottolenghi Flavour, out next month. Influenced by her British, Mexican, Italian and Brazilian heritage, the dishes she serves up on her Insta have changed our weeknight suppers for good.
