A Touch of Texture
WITH APPEALINGLY TACTILE SURFACES, THESE WALLCOVERINGS BRING MORE THAN JUST PATTERN TO A ROOM
1 FRAGMENTS
A collaboration with The Future Perfect gallery, Fragments was originally a hand-painted custom wall mural. Now, it’s offered in a printed version (with eight colourways) that sees the watercolour-like artwork issued on a fine, slubby woven material formulated with pieces of recycled glass and natural rubber. calicowallpaper.com
2 PIXEL
Transmitting the look of traditional textiles, Pixel’s linear patterning features subtle metallic glints that create a sense of movement. Available in nine colourways that range from pastels to jewel tones, the Type II vinyl is one of 10 offerings in the Harmony series and is suitable for use in high-traffic settings. innovationsusa.com
3 CHANNELS
A free-form composition of horizontal and vertical lines, this three-dimensional design takes a page from traditional hand-blocked printing techniques. The plaster-like material is part of the threepiece, all-matte-white Casting collection, which references sculpted marble and bas relief work to create the look of a hand-carved wall. phillipjeffries.com
4 COCOON
One of four patterns inspired by animal homes in the Dwellings series, Cocoon is defined by undulating swirls evocative of the spun-silk structure it’s named for. Printed standard on Type II vinyl or customized on coated paper, grasscloth or felt, it can be detailed with hand-sewn felt for dimension. Offered in four colourways (Ocean shown). jillmalek.com
