I'm completely mesmerized by this wallpaper, commissioned by Mike D. of the Beastie Boys.
Mike Diamond of the Beastie Boys
decided he wanted a Brooklyn inspired toile wallpaper that would line
the walls of his Brooklyn brownstone. The vision was to pay tribute to
all things Brooklyn in a way that would appear to be a traditional
French Country Toile, but when you step to it the pattern reveals
elements and vignettes that make up the truth about Brooklyn. Mike
approached Vincent J. Ficarra and Adela Qersaqi of Revolver New York
to help execute his vision artistically and Flavor Paper to produce the
design as wallpaper. Due to the level of detail and shading in
Vincent’s design we decided to produce the Brooklyn Toile as a digital
print, but stay tuned as it may be revised into a hand screened print
soon!
Brooklyn Toile captures many angles of life in the King’s borough
from Coney Island to Hasidic Jews to Notorious B.I.G., the design covers
many of the aspects of daily life dealing with subways and pigeons in a
poetic way. Go on and get some!!!
