The Copes… partnered with Hudson Woods, a cluster of high-design cabins in the Catskills conceptualized by Drew Lang, to host a temporary installation. Over the course of two days, the design couple swathed a minimalist cabin (there are several, of varying architectural styles, on premises) with a dip-dyed ombré linen.

Calico Wallpaper just recently unveiled Aura, its latest collection of wallpaper during this year’s Sight Unseen OFFSITE. The New York brand was inspired by energy fields that surround us but are not seen so they experimented with aura photography, which visually captures the electromagnetic field surrounding a person and produces ethereal gradients of color. They took the results and turned them into a series of wallpaper that will conjure various feelings and emotions based on color psychology…

K is for Kintsugi
Inspired by kintsugi, a 500-year-old Japanese technique in which old broken pottery is repaired with metallic lacquer, the Satori non-repeating paper is quietly marbled. “Muted tones are amenable to a space you would actually want to inhabit,” said Rhode Island School of Design’s Martin Smick, who teaches wallpaper as art.

Capitalize on a common theme
The Satori kintsugi wallpaper and the National Gallery’s portrait print speak to each other in hushed tones about the hand of the artist, and the woman’s skin picks up the Echo’s peachy hues. “I would install the portrait paper at the ned of a long hallway with the side walls washed in the softness and shimmer of the kintsugi,” said Boston designer Melissa Hammond

Calico Wallpaper

The folks at Brooklyn-based Calico Wallpaper were way out ahead of the trend towards marble wallpaper, and their designs are still some of my favorites. Their original collection includes the marbelized paper pictured above, and their Inverted Spaces Collection, featured in a couple of the rooms in the slideshow up top, has swirly, gold-and-silver touched patterns that resemble stone but also conjure up images of the heavens. These are also murals, available in custom sizes.

Wabi Cloud; Inverted Spaces Andromeda, Orion; and Lunaris Midnight are shown above.

Calico Wallpaper is excited to announce that our Satori Collection has been chosen by the jury of the Architizer A+ Awards as the winner of the Finishes- Wall Coverings & Ceilings category.

We may have already named our favorite 10 installations seen during Milan Design Week 2017, but in reality, that list could easily have been 20 (or 30) as there were feasts for the eyes just about everywhere we looked. Today, we showcase the rest of the best spotted in the various design districts, historic sites, and the Milano fairgrounds, home of Salone del Mobile.

The wallpaper concern’s new collaborations were installed exhibit-style in a gallery space of the Brera district. The biggest standout? In our opinion, it was Snarkitecture‘s Topographies, which looks like a three-dimensional torn-paper composition from afar but up close, is actually a two-dimensional pixelated wall covering.

Two of her introductions – the wallpaper she designed with Calico and the handmade quilts she stitched for Once Milano (they’re hanging in BDDW) – reflect one of Toogood’s most personal interests: painting. “There is a freedom in this way of working, by hand painting, and I enjoy that very direct sense of craft, without any technology,” she says. For both projects she worked directly on canvas, building up images through appliqué on the quilts, and then encasing a room in her brushstroke renditions of the English countryside, for Calico. “I felt it quite wonderful to literally bring the countryside inside.”

Calico Wallpaper’s exhibition “Imagined Landscape” offers a series of wall murals by cutting-edge designers, like BCXSY’s delicate Microcosmos, Ana Kraš’s Mira & Miloš Collection, Snarkitecture’s Topographies Collection, and the whimsical Woodlands, Fields, Moors Collection by Faye Toogood, the British designer whose work seems to be all over Milan this year.

Calico Walpaper’s new launches this year includes Snarkitecture’s architectural torn paper wall covering… and a bucolic scene by Faye Toogood.

…In the confines of Rosanna Orlandi’s creative sanctuary, Sé has styled an apartment furnished top to toe with its products. The space includes fabrics by Dedar, and a new design by BCXSY for Calico Wallpaper.

Some subjects in art never cease to be reinterpreted. One such everlasting muse? The landscape. For Brooklyn-based Calico Wallpaper’s Imagined Landscape presentation in Milan’s Brera Design District this week – their first ever stand-alone exhibition for Milan Design Week – the husband-and-wife duo asked four of their favorite creatives to turn their personalized riffs on landscapes into digitally printed wallpapers…

Aurora Ray is featured in the article “Destination: Los Angeles” in Surface Magazine’s Online March 2017 issue

Megan Hopp, an interior designer with Homepolish, used abstract custom wallpaper with a cosmic theme in lavender and silver to enliven a small, plain bedroom in an East Village apartment she decorated for a client last year… The print, a metallic wash from Calico Wallpaper’s Inverted Spaces collection, takes up two walls in the bedroom and cost about $4,000. “It was a big price tag, but we all agreed that it really is a work of art on its own,” Ms. Hopp said. “We kept every other piece really neutral – no pattern, no color, nothing, an absolutely clean canvas – so as to let this glorious paper do its thing.”

In one of Tribeca’s most iconic buildings, Los Angeles firm Consort eschews the traditional masculine retreat in favor of a sophisticated, expectedly bold living space.

Brooklyn-based Calico wallpaper devised a bright blue mural for another bedroom. “We wanted one room that had some very rich color, and so we worked with Calico on this paper, which is based on Japanese shibori technique,” says Behun.

Fabrica has used some of Calico’s sumptuous coverings to rethink the humble lunch box: Tomomi Maezawa’s Sculptural Lunch is wrapped in ‘Willow Celeste’ wallpaper and held together by a thin wire structure, while Mariana Fernandes’ Wrapping Food uses marbled wallpaper to emphasise the shape of a traditional lunch of ham and cheese…

Once, custom wallpaper had to be painted entirely by hand. But a new cadre of designers is offering digitally printed, mural-like scenes that can be endlessly manipulated…

A couple before they were partners in design, Nick Cope and Rachel Mosler founded Calico Wallpaper together two years ago in the wake of Hurricane Sandy…

Mudejar tiles, the appetites of Francis Cardinal Spellman and a colossal sculpture by Ron Arad made from a whorl of steel rods that cost more than $1 million are just a few of the colliding, often ravishing visions now on view in the elegant spaces that once held the Urban Center in the Villard Housesat Madison Avenue and 51st Street — the home, for the next month, of the Kips Bay Decorator Show House…

Hurricane Sandy proved a blessing in disguise for Nick Cope and Rachel Mosler. The Red Hook-based couple were unable to access their offices for months, where she works as an art therapist and he as an interior designer and builder…
