Four New Designs and Expanded Options for Three Best-Sellers from the AW Archive
Spectrum
Bloom
Warped Check
| Brooklyn, NY - June 20, 2024 | Multidisciplinary creative and founder of her eponymous brand, Aimée Wilder debuts four new contract wallcoverings and additional metallic colorways for three existing patterns. Designed for both commercial and domestic spaces, the new Type II wallcoverings are Spectrum, Robot Universe, Warped Check, and Ying Dot. Metallic colorways were also added to best sellers from the AW archive— Bloom and Star Tiger from the Ivana Helsinki collection and Reflection from Aimée’s Shadow Wildling series of original artworks.
“We received a lot of amazing feedback when we originally debuted the new metallics line,” says Aimée Wilder. “I’m excited to have the wallcoverings available for purchase and to see how designers play around and integrate our new metallic offerings into different settings.”
New Patterns
Spectrum: The customizable wallcovering pattern is created by a screen of polka dots that subtly changes color from top to bottom along a spectrum gradient. A “mural” wallcovering — as opposed to a typical repeating wallpaper pattern — Spectrum’s color shift is custom-scaled to match the height of the intended wall.
Available Colors: Metallic Rosette, Metallic Celebration, Metallic 8 Bit
Width: Print area is 51 inches (129.54 cm) plus printed overlap for installation. Shipped as a 54" wide untrimmed roll.
Robot Universe: Comprised of a cast of characters and symbols from Wilder's best-sellers, this pattern brings together robots, submarines, hearts, and more into one harmonious, out-of-this-world design.
Available Colors: Metallic Vesper, Metallic Esther, Metallic Cressida, Metallic Orion, Metallic Callisto, Metallic Elio
Width: Print area is 51 inches (129.54 cm) plus printed overlap for installation. Shipped as a 54" wide untrimmed roll.
Warped Check: Warped Check is a funky, uniquely distorted checker pattern. It is available in 3 different sizes— small, medium, large— and can be customized to fit the specific wall dimensions.
Available Colors: Metallic Chess, Metallic Tidal, Metallic Prismatic, Metallic Pearl, Metallic Lawn, Metallic Lustre
Width: Mural style multi panel wallpaper. Shipped as a 54" wide untrimmed roll.
