Connected

Connected made to measure: three designs, one room

What makes this book unusual is that some designs come as a set. Allure, the elephant with texture, can be combined with two companions from the same series, one with triangles and one with the texture alone. That turns a single wall into a plan for a room: the statement on one wall, the calmer variants beside and opposite it.

Combining only works if the three actually meet, and that is where being the designer matters. We hold the original files, so we match the height, the scale and the colour depth of all three walls to each other, even when one wall is narrower or has a window in it. The underwater calm of Baya and the mid century tones stay consistent from one wall to the next instead of nearly matching.

All 51 designs are printed on premium non-woven wallpaper, per wall and to size, paste on the wall. With several walls the order in which you hang the strips matters. For gradients and watercolours see Esbjerg, for geometric line work Timeless.
