In May 2024, Sina Dyks made her debut at Salon Design in New York as one of the central figures in Color Theory. An exhibition celebrating the role of colour in bringing objects and space to life with a distinct mood and feel.

Curated as a series of vignettes and colour stories, the exhibition placed Sina's vibrant textile work at its core, showcasing no fewer than four pieces: Sumptuous Field, Dwindled Scenery, Dripping DNA, and Absorbed Jungle. Together, these works embodied Sina's signature approach bold colour, organic form, and a deep commitment to sustainable materials. Inviting visitors to reflect on how colour and texture shape our experience of space.

Sina was paired with Brooklyn-based lighting designer Rosie Li, with their combined vision driving the exhibition's narrative. Surrounding their work were contributions from Kajsa Willner, a site-specific installation by Christina Watka, solar-designer Marjan van Aubel's Sunne lights, and paintings from Dominick Leuci and Darryl Westly.

"Color Theory came out of a number of organic, simultaneous conversations with designers who were all pushing the boundaries of their work," noted Salon Design founder Amanda Pratt. A sentiment that speaks directly to Sina's ever-evolving practice at the intersection of colour, materiality, and sustainability.
