Time Flow Wallpaper Off the wall After years of minimalistic purism and the dominance of painted woodchip, wallpaper is making a magnificent comeback. Artists and designers are rediscovering the potential of wall surfaces, and their creative, exclusive designs are inspiring a new generation of homeowners By Nicole Knaupp 34 Momentum 1· 2009
Ever since 1999 Deborah Bowness has been designing wallpaper that is as entertaining as it is unconventional – an example of her work is featured in the picture to the left. She hand prints the paper with pictures of everyday objects such as standing lamps and then paints over parts of the black-and-white images with watercolour. The objects on Deborah’s wallpapers – from chairs to hooks in the wall to crammed bookcases – give the illusion of being three-dimensional. The „Observer“ newspaper has gushed about her “new worlds of wallpaper design” and numerous design museums have displayed the creative Brit’s work. Her innovative paper can be used throughout the entire room but often just a single strip is enough to achieve a remarkable effect. www.deborahbowness.com Much more than just decoration. A room papered in the wall coverings produced by French textiles company Elitis is more like an art installation. Anyone who adorns their home with these unusual materials is the kind of person who dares to be different and likes to exhibit their individuality and sharp sense of style. The company’s latest hits are its “Big Croco” wallpapers – fake crocodile skin available in many different colours – and its “Native” fake-fur range, pictured here. The textured vinyl wallpaper is not only a treat for the eyes, but for the fingertips too .The sensual fur wall covering manages to elegantly combine classic sophistication with a funkier, more modern feel. The same rule of thumb applies to these wall - papers, though: less is more; sparing use of the paper will achieve a more glamorous effect. www.elitis.fr Momentum 1· 2009 35
