penchant for light. Their latest fabrication is

HOT PICK Concrete Wall
by Tom Haga
At first it seems like a solid, harsh, 3D surface,
but on closer inspection you realise it
is just vinyl! Photographer Tom Haga has
cleverly printed snapshots of raw concrete
and graffiti of Norwegian locations on wallpaper.
Washable, UV resistant and scratch
proof, it lends an industrial, grungy look to
any space. We hear the new Steve
Madden stores are plastered in these...

HOT PICK Spineless Classics
by Carl Pappenheim
UK based Spineless Publishing takes the
full text of classic novels and arranges
it graphically into an image that bears relevance
to the story. An idea by 31-year-old
Pappenheim, these single page posters are
printed on satin finish paper with UV resistant
ink. Who would have thought that an
entire work of fiction could be appreciated
as a stunning work of art!
