Tattoos On The Wall
Having an affinity and appreciation of well designed spaces, I have long fancied turning my apartment into one of those slick, shiny clean pads with unique wall coverings like I’ve seen in Frame. So it’s to my delight that a small Canadian company contacted me about their specialty: wall tattoos.
The moment I loaded up their website, I was floored by their fun and colorful site, but also the fact that their modern take on wall design had me salivating with ideas.
Surface Collective is a Vancouver-based design company that offers a unique take on wall design. Their “tattoos” are made of vinyl, and go on the wall like huge stickers. The art is vector based, with urban trendy designs from elegant curves, leaves, and iPod-like silhouettes to adorn your abode. It’s ideal for a boutique owner to spruce up their space to attract young, hip, 20-something shoppers like myself. There have been lots of these designs in shops in Europe and Japan but have seen very little of it here in Montreal.
Prices are about $50-$200 a piece, depending on size, complexity of the design, and you can customize the color or design to match the walls. Currently they don’t have any retailers here, but they do ship worldwide.
Personal fav for the two above, I don’t have a real use for such images but I’d love to have one like that for one wall.
