Each year my good friend Leslie (aka Swarm) visits the Design Academy Eindhoven during Dutch Design Week, and while she’s there she takes photos of some of her favourite creations/ideas/designs on display and emails them to me. This one came through my inbox the other day with just these words “Make your own wallpaper from wildflowers and a hammer”.
Love. It.
Created by design student Elena Pereira, her idea stems from the notion that flowers are used to express emotion as well as the strive for perfection:
“Life withers, nothing ever stays the same, why then should we cultivate perfection? The living space is a reflection of the daily struggle with life’s demands.”
Here is a little film of her making the wallpaper, and you can visit Elena’s website to see more of her work.
