Early this year, we received an urgent phone call from the Printemps Design au Centre Pompidou, the visionary design mecca within Europe's leading modern and contemporary art museum. They were embarking on a grand project entitled "Item 05," in which 17 grand talents of art, architecture, and fashion would create an original and exclusive item for them. People like Issey Miyake, Phillipe Starck, Ora Ito, and Jean Nouvel were all taking part. The next invitation was sent to your very own Lomographic Society International. Enamored with the incredible effects and unpredictable nature of film cross-processing (developing film in the opposite chemicals), they desired to create a custom Lomographic camera to celebrate this amazing technique. Naturally, they chose the Colorsplash - already the premiere instrument for switching and futzing the colors in your world. Fusing their concept and our design, the Printemps Design au Centre Pompidou X-Pro Edition Colorsplash was conceived.

Coated in silky black rubber, clothed in a metallic silver case, and proudly emblazoned with a fierce "X," the X-pro colorsplash is our tightest limited edition to date. Available only on Lomography.com and at Printemps Design au Centre Pompidou (Place Georges Pompidou, 75004, Paris), this single edition of 500 pieces will not be reproduced.

Features:

* Strictly limited edition designed in accordance with Printemps Design au Centre Pompidou
* Specially designed black rubberized coating and metallic modular case
* Includes "Le Guide Approximatif et insidpensable du traitement croise',"easily the world's most quick and dirty guide to the art of cross-processing.
* Includes one roll of premium slide film
* Optimized for exceptional cross-process performance
* Rotate the "color wheel" to tint your electronic flash light. 12 colors included.

The Centre national d'art et de culture Georges Pompidou was the brainchild of President Georges Pompidou who wanted to create an original cultural institution in the heart of Paris completely focused on modern and contemporary creation, where the visual arts would rub shoulders with theatre, music, cinema, literature and the spoken word. Housed in the center of Paris in a building designed by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers, it features the leading collection of modern and contemporary art in Europe, a vast public reference library with facilities for over 2,000 readers, general documentation on 20th century art, a cinema and performance halls, a music research institute, educational activity areas, bookshops, a restaurant and a café. Some 6 million people pass through the Centre Pompidou's doors each year, a total of over 150 million visitors in its 25 years or so of existence. The Printemps Design au Centre Pompidou boutique, located within the museum, is world renown for their sophisticated assortment of high-end design, art, home, and fashion items.
