| This gem of a book examines the recent and growing trend to reinvent and reinvigorate wallpaper. Traditionally grounded in old world charm, the wallpaper of today is a totally different product infused with characteristics that reflect modern sensibilities and contemporary art. Throughout its evolution it has been influenced by such varied sources of inspiration as street art, pop art, urban culture, and the natural world. The boundaries of the art form that is wallpaper are continuously being stretched to encompass an incredible range of design possibilities. From character driven to traditional geometric patterns, this book focuses on the artistry of the designs and goes to great lengths to facilitate a better understanding of the overall concept of wallpaper and its myriad applications. By presenting pattern designs in conjunction with an array of complementary indoor materials it also demonstrates how this historic craft can be used to achieve contemporary refinement.
