Calico Wallpaper and PHilippe Malouin will present “The Color and the Shape.” The Color and the Shape transforms an expanse of wall space into an interactive surface for collage. Constructed from colorful hand-cut forms in eclectic, textured, and oversized materials, the project takes its inspiration from Henri Matisse’s cutouts and the technique he described as “carving into color.”

…an entire wall of the exhibition space is also filled with more of Arsham’s eroded aesthetic, as it reveals a broken structure inside. The visual effect was achieved through an art technique created by trompe-l’oeil wallpaper designs that Arsham created with Brooklyn design studio Calico Wallpaper.

Brooklyn, New York-based Calico Wallpaper offers several celestial-themed designs. Lunaris has fog-, smoke-, and midnight-hued backgrounds with silver overlay that evoke the moon’s surface as seen through a telescope. Aurora, with a soothing palette in an ombré pattern, depicts the sky’s constant transformation from dawn to dusk.

Calico Wallpaper showed its panoramic Oceania wallpaper, built up from a watercolour wash scattered with salt. “The salt dissolves, leaving crystalline traces that capture seawater’s soft texture,” explains co-founder Rachel Cope.
Calico Wallpaper has also co-produced a wallpaper called Topographies with Brooklyn design studio Snarkitecture, made by tearing layers of paper to create a 3D effect resembling a topographic map.
Another Calico wallpaper design, Palette, features gigantic brushstrokes. These designs are then digitized so they can be custom-printed to fit any wall and are durable.

Size: 114 square feet (11 square meters); 12 by 9.5 feetWall treatment. Custom color-and-drip layout version of Calico’s Satori wallpaper. “We worked closely with Calico to fine-tune the green palette tones and then drew the elevation on where the drips would occur,” Kitterman says. “By using a photo of Vancouver’s Stanley Park showing a golden sun steaming through a lush evergreen landscape, we developed our wallcovering, which is a translation of this image, a gold-leafed filed that melds into a series of rich, saturated green tones.”

Mimi and Pummel: What do you Crave?
Nothing can have a bigger impact on the mood of a room like wall coverings. I love Calico Wallpaper because they offer so much custom-made choice. They are all about “taking art out of the frame and putting it onto the wall.” Their merger of traditional techniques and digital design combine to offer a very organic, bespoke product. I have visited this product on display, and in house, and my impression is Calico has the flexibility to cater to any style and taste. It all depends on what you crave…
The Cut: A Tribeca Condo Where Playful Glamour Meets Graphic Content
Los Angeles – based interior designer Jessica Ayromloo met her clients, a young married couple, in 2016, when they purchased a condo in a design-build residence in Tribeca. They spent a year and a half finessing the interiors, as these buildings must be completed before their owners can move in. So rather than rip out the default kitchen and bath utilities and go to town on structural changes, – the first thing that many designers do when their clients get the green light to move in – Ayromloo concentrated on the décor and simply added casework where she wanted to implement storage and design features…

Sight Unseen: The Best of Milan Design Week 2018, Part I
This year marked our tenth anniversary of attending the Salone del Mobile in Milan, and this year’s fair felt a bit … different. The showrooms were more crowded, the brands were more lavish, and the trends felt less obvious. But the biggest difference for us was in our own attitude towards the fair, and our confidence in living out the week on our own terms. Ten years of pounding the pavement have taught us many important lessons, including a) figure out the Milanese tram system; b) never day drink c) make time for inspiring field trips and long lunches with friends and d) only see the things you’re absolutely dying to see. Here’s the first of our posts chronicling all the wonderful things we found…

Styles include those made with Japanese and Turkish painting techniques that go far beyond your classic shibori, and lend an inimitable texture to throws and swaths of fabric alike. The textiles are perfect for homemade curtains or tablecloths, but then again, we might just go the hanging tapestry route and use some fabric as a one-of-a-kind piece of art. It’s certainly gallery-worthy! Scroll through to see what we mean…
