Subject: The wallpaper seam as artistic element.

Idea: A raised fold overlaps the running edge of the next length of wallpaper and stands out from the wall. The resulting relief made up of vertical strips makes a three-dimensional effect possible.

Special feature: One design uses the radiance of intensive shades of color. As a result, the colorful side of the raised fold lies at a flat angle to the wall so that the view of the entirety is replaced by a fascinating, indirect imprint of color. Depending on the incidence of light, the color radiates from the folds with respective intensity.

Alternative version: Each individual fold is printed with a consecutive strip of a photograph, graphic, or of lettering. The fragments form a complete picture when one stands at a sharp angle to the wall, whereas the picture progressively loses its definition as the viewer's angle to the wall opens to a frontal position.

Character: Both designs transform into interactive objects via the movement of the viewer.
