Fortner now carries wallcoverings from Jaima Brown!
The AFP (2/8) reports that "wallpaper is back livening up insides after long being ostracized as a dull, difficult-to-stick and even harder-to-peel-off favorite of the out-of-date elderly 'blue-rinse' brigade." According to experts at the Maison & Objet in Paris, France, "fabrics and plastics also signing on to the trend towards wall-coverings rather than paint in homes, hotels, or shopping malls." Sweden's Orjan Sandberg, managing director of the Sandberg company, said, "Wallpaper has never been as good as it is today." The latest trend is a movement away from "the bare white-washed identikit minimalism of the 1980s and 1990s," and into "strong individual statements in interior design." Design writer Lachlan Blackley said that the "revival of ornament has been a significant factor in the re-emergence of wallpaper." Blackly said that a "millennium-induced urge for complex decor has enabled decoration in its many forms to boldly re-enter visual culture." In addition, "technological advances in digital imagery, large-format printing, and textile and paper-making have led to the production of popular, fast-selling adhesive vinyls, stickers and fabric coverings, as well as hi-tech easy-to-stick decorative wallpapers."
Denmark-based Ferm Living offers wall-covering printing services via their website, McClatchy (2/8, Cassutt) notes. "Users can upload photos at the company's site, and "in a few weeks...have a custom-fit roll of wallpaper. The print will come in one large sheet of paper (no seams), ready to glue." The company also offers "a collection of designer doodles and photographs."
