A visual trip, Kaleido, Jocelyn Warner’s new wallpaper, is machine-printed with an optical graphic print in the UK. The paper comes in 21-inch-wide, 11-yard bolts, and has a remarkable, almost translucent, quality. The colors in the overlaid (and a bit blurry) circular pattern shift as the viewer angles from side to side. The wallpaper, manufactured by Designtex of which the London-based Warner is a partner, costs $115 for a bolt and comes in six colorways, including copper, white and gold, and pink and cream. The wallpaper is available now at various Designtex showrooms.
