(New York; August 1,
2003) WallCandy Arts, the Manhattan-based company
founded by Allison Epstein in 2001, celebrates the
introduction of its initial series of extraordinary
designs for the wall. Created as a way of achieving
instant design-savvy decor for all areas of the house,
WallCandy(tm) consists of printed peel-and-stick panels
with patterns by renowned talents from the worlds of
design, theater and fashion, at do-it-yourself
prices.
WallCandy(tm) packages contain several
panels printed with UV ink that is durable and cleanable
(as simple as a swipe with a damp sponge) and backed with
a removable static adhesive. Application is simple: a
three-step process of peel, place, and smooth; then, as
desired, the panels can be lifted off the wall without
leaving a trace! WallCandy(tm) provides a commitment-free
solution for transforming such spaces as kitchens,
children's rooms, and bathrooms into exciting, fun
environments: the panels bring an infusion of style to
any room, without risk or mess.
This first introduction from WallCandy
Arts encompasses two patterns licensed from Marimekko,
the 20th-century design icon, and original, commissioned
art for a farm-scene mural and borders for children's
rooms. The Marimekko patterns include the classic BoBoo
Cars, which are die-cut for individual application, and
the world-famous Unikko pattern of poppies. The original
art for Grazeland, the barnyard mural, is composed of
nine panels that make up the yard, plus a myriad of
dye-cut trees, farm animals, a tractor and a big red barn
that can be arranged and rearranged at will and whim;
coordinating borders in blues and pinks are packaged
separately.
Comprehensive patterns and individual
elements are well proportioned and scaled to work with
each other, and to suit the dimensions of any room. More
creative designs such as the Space Crafts space scene
mural and four foot rocket accessory kit, both with glow
in the dark stars, will be ready for shipment at the end
of August, 2003.
