At a glance — ColoRoom is not a classic painting workshop where you sit at an easel to reproduce a technique. Here, colour is thrown with boxing gloves, kitchen utensils and other unusual objects, in a spirit of letting off steam rather than precision. Everyone leaves with their own canvas.

A classic painting workshop follows a familiar formula: easel, fine brush, a teacher correcting your perspective, and a still life to reproduce as faithfully as possible. It's an activity that calls for patience and technique. ColoRoom takes the exact opposite approach — and that's precisely what makes it a one-of-a-kind experience.

The brush isn't the main tool

Here, colour isn't applied with a brush: it's thrown. The tools provided deliberately step outside the classic framework of painting, turning every gesture into a release.

01

Boxing gloves

Dipped in paint, they turn every punch into a splash on the canvas. The gesture matters more than finesse.

02

Kitchen utensils

Repurposed from their usual role, they become unexpected splattering tools, producing textures a brush could never create.

03

Other unusual objects

Each session draws on a range of repurposed objects to multiply the ways of splashing colour onto the canvas.

You leave with your own artwork

Unlike a workshop where the canvas sometimes stays behind to dry under supervision, at ColoRoom everyone leaves with their creation at the end of the session. It's a tangible souvenir of the experience, not just a photo snapped in the moment.

The session lasts between 45 minutes and 1 hour, leaving enough time to let go without turning the activity into a drawing class. ColoRoom welcomes 1 to 40 people and can be played from age 3, making it as suitable for a family birthday party as for an outing with colleagues who'd rather create than compete — an angle we cover in our team building guide for Geneva.
