Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to measure the color blue?
During your travels or while you wanders taking some fresh air.
Designing your new interior and looking for inspiration.
Connecting your blues to some nice poetry or a piece of music and sharing it with someone else.
I made this Cyanometer, entirely by hand, inspired by the first instrument that Horace Bénédict de Saussure created in 1789 to measure the transparency and colour of the sky. He discovered why the sky changes color. Humboldt used that instrument in his explorations in South America.
Today this poetic and useful tool, printed by hand in Cyanotype on pure cotton paper is for you, to let you measure every day the blue of the sky, the sea or the soul, with a variety of fifty shades.
