Just got these installation shots from the most styling dentist’s office I’ve ever seen. Well done Dr. Tanz!
Just got this installation shot from Auckland, New Zealand. (Those blackbirds are really quite international.) I really like how wallpaper functions at the top of a staircase, expanding the space and revealing itself as you walk closer to it. Thanks for the photo Natasha!
Some of my favorite installation shots from the Cavern gallery…
William Morris is perhaps the single most important figure in the history of wallpaper. A writer, artist, and political activist, Morris was truly a renaissance man, but his achievements in fabric and wallpaper design stand above the rest. Championing the British arts and crafts movement, Morris merged his interest in patterning with his lifelong fascination with nature. The results are timeless patterns, rich in color, elegant in design.
It’s striking to me how relevant Morris’ work and philosophies are to wallpaper today. His fundamental belief that surface design depends upon intentional lines and silhouettes is undeniably true; Cavern’s “Blackbird” pattern is a great example. And his interest in hand-made art and abstracting the natural world all seem very modern, very “now.” I’ll post more eye-candy from Morris in the upcoming weeks – his patterns are truly exquisite.
Just saw the November 2009 issue of House Beautiful — and Cavern is featured! Love the “Blackbird” pattern in the bathroom. Especially with the mirrors reflecting the graphic image and with the wallpaper continuing onto the ceiling, the room truly becomes unique and memorable. Thanks Thom Filicia for thinking of us in your showcase!
A little installation inspiration from Cavern's Blackbird Pattern.
Have a great weekend!
I’m always the first to say that wallpaper can transform a room: your walls are your largest canvas. After seeing this video, though, I think the same holds true for film! Is it just me, or is Hayley Taylor’s music video for “No More Wishing” as much about Cavern’s Blackbird wallpaper as the music itself? Certainly the pattern compliments Taylor’s authentic voice and natural melody. I have never seen Blackbird like this, with all the fade aways, overlays, and close-ups. So cool. Bravo!
Just a few installation photos. Thanks to all our customers who send these in. Happy wallpapering!
“Blackbird” at Plantation in Venice CA. Looking good!
