Pixelnotes Wallpaper

Nothing new about sticking post-it on a wall… But this lovely concept from Duncan Wilson (in collaboration with Sirkka Hammer) won a second place in the 'New Walls, Please!' competition for several reasons…

"A wallpaper consisting of four layers of varying grey tones on a bright primary backing. Each layer is perforated in a grid format and backed with a tacky adhesive similar to ‘post-it’ notes. The walls become functional, an integrated notice board that documents our activity within the room..." 'apartmenttherapy'

First, it is good looking, made of different gray tones post-it, the pattern of usage creates a changing wallpaper. It gets darker as you get closer to exhausting the stack of notes! Second, this is useful, maybe only for creative people (kids are creative), as we are used to fill the walls with thoughts! Third, it is really simple, iconic and allows you to easily modify your interior.

On the other side, reality is different... Post-its don’t adhere well enough to be used as a wallpaper, they bend and never look so clean! But don’t be too harsh, concept is great!
