An excellent series of videos in the centre of the gallery explore colour theory. Christopher Farr describes his design process from client brief to colour experimentation to final proposal. A second video looks at Joseph Albers' unique approach of teaching students how to "see". You can also experiment with a fantastic iPad app, Interaction of Colour. This app allows you to explore the Joseph Albers colour principals and then go on to create your own colour schemes from a huge array of colours.

The Gary Hume door rugs are fantastic! The use of precise hand carving of the tufted rug to create the raised circles and rectangles is an excellent way of representing Gary Hume's original work with household gloss paint.

Christopher Farr has also created a mesmerising room full of hung Anni Albers fabrics. I was fascinated by the way the patterns change with light and distance as you walk through the room.

This stunning exhibition is on at Somerset House until the 31st August 2014 and I will definitely be returning for another visit.
