About eBoy:
eBoy was founded in 1997 by Kai Vermehr, Steffen Sauerteig and Sven Smital with the acquisition of the eBoy.com domain. The basic idea driving eBoy was the embracement of the new possibilities of the emerging digital world. The decision to directly work on and for the screen led to the use of pixels. A modular based work system started to evolve and resulted in complex object rich artwork. eBoy is lucky to have worked with some of the finest clients and partners. Among them are Adidas, Coca Cola, Pepsi, Paul Smith, DKNY, Kidrobot, MTV, The New York Times, Wired Magazine and many, many more. eBoy currently is based in Berlin/Germany and in Vancouver/Canada.

Wallpaper Republic of Australia is yet another wonderful wallpaper company who collaborates with artists to create wall coverings that are not mass-produced. Like Rollout of Canada, they have many styles of artwork by artists from all over the world, which has been printed as wallpaper that can be purchased from their online store here.

Jonas Samson's Light Emitting Wallpaper

Above: Light-emitting wallpaper

With Jonas Samson's high-tech light-emitting wallpaper it's possible to use a two-dimensional flat surface as light source instead of a 3D object. As long as the wallpaper is turned off, it is indistinguishable as a source of light. Instead, it is just what it appears to be: wallpaper.






Year: 2007
Material: Light emitting wallpaper
Size: 240 cm x 360 cm

A Great Idea : Heat-Sensitive Wallpaper

Here's a very interesting design project by Schuyuan, a recent grad from the University of Portsmouth, (who speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese...by the way).




Called Design with Life, the project, as described by the artist, was "..to explore a new definition of decoration which brings life to design" .

A very compelling part of the project described above is their Heat-Sensitive wallpaper, which when activated actually blossoms flowers (see below).

....and with the heat from the radiator on:


A section from the nicely designed brochure that accompanied the project describing the wallpaper's reaction at different room temperatures:



What a fun interactive and creative idea. No doubt some interesting design firm will snap up this recent graduate. I bet Schuyuan will not be looking for work for very long. Go to the artists'site to see more.
