DR.BANANA / 28.ROOM
7 tones
23.04.26 · SÃO PAULO
The light theatre is editorial / daytime. Never pure white, never pure black — the system lives in a single warm temperature band day and night. Neutrals step from paper through hairline, silver, graphite, and ink. The acid accent is shown separately; it belongs to both theatres.
