DESIGNWALL
Designwall is initiated in 2005 by Ed Annink (Ontwerpwerk) on the occasion of his solo exhibition in New York. He designed two wallpapers as background for his product designs; ‘William’ and ‘Birds’. William is based on the wallpaper design ‘Fruit’ of William Morris (1834 -1896), foreman of the Arts&Crafts. The leafs in the popular 'Birds’ wallpaper is partly based on Arts&Crafts designs combined with silhouettes taken from educational bird books.

Designwall works with designers and architects to widen its collection 'customized wallpaper' and 'wallpaper'. For every customized project we create a unique lay-out following the specific dimensions of the wall and the location of doors and/or windows within.

CUSTOMIZED WALLPAPER
Our designer customizes the wallpapers for any wall, big walls, small walls, high walls and low walls. As shown on the image beneath, windows, doors and wall-dimensions will be taken into account to make sure the wallpaper 'Birds' fits your wall perfectly. There will be no strange cut-offs of the birds or leafs. Also the wallpaper 'William' will be customized but in a different manner. As you can see in the second image, 'William' is a wallpaper with a specific visual impact. No repetitions and beautiful big images. The results on your wall with both wallpapers will be unique and one of a kind.

Customized wallpaper Birds This was the first wallpaper we have designed and produced. Especially designed for a solo exhibition of the work of Ed Annink (creative director at Ontwerpwerk) in New York at Fellisimo Design House.

WALLPAPER
Designwall has also wallpapers that can be ordered by the roll. The wallpapers in this ready to install collection have specific names; Crazy birds, Languages, White Birds and Witjes.

Wallpaper Witjes In the Drents Museum in Assen (in the north of The Netherlands) designstudio Ontwerpwerk took in 2011 a series of sharp pictures of an antique 17th century ceramic tiles wall. By doing so we registrated the differences in colour due to the historical baking process. We also registrated the cracks, scratches and lines that appeared in the tiles over the years. These tiles are since the 17th century called 'Witjes', expressing the wished colour white. This wallpaper is a memory to these original Witjes which where then used in cellars in Amsterdam (first quality was in the colour white) and in farms in the north of The Netherlands (mostly in the second choice: very light and pale green, pink, blue and grey).
