Happy Monday everyone! I remain so deeply inspired by my visit to the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland. It is one of the most incredible and breathtaking creations in modern architecture and, as the world’s centre for anthroposophical studies, it was one of my most powerful immersions into Rudolf Steiner’s tangible gifts to the world. Beauty, colour, form, space. I acknowledge how these principles inform my own creative impulses at epoche and influence the chosen aesthetics of my store. These muted earthy tones are my favourites - the most spectacular staircase looking up a stairwell within the Goetheanum, each floor painted a different colour ✨ #epoche #kallista #steinerinspired #goetheanum #switzerland #tone #colour #form #space #rudolfsteiner #waldorf
