Wallpaper seems to be making a huge comeback lately, yet not necessarily in the way that people may have expected; check out the Philips Luminous Wallpaper to see what I mean. This sci-fi wall decor may just represent the future of wallpaper.
An ever-changing glowing presence, the Philips Luminous Wallpaper was developed in collaboration with Kvadrat Soft Cells. This luminous textile is essentially embedded with mini, adjustable LED lights in an acoustic panel that is then hung on a wall almost like a piece of artwork. Considering its beauty, I would consider the Philips Luminous Wallpaper a work of art.
Aside from bathing rooms in mood-based ambient lighting, the Philips Luminous Wallpaper also dampens sounds and softens echoes, not to mention that it will be able to respond visually to sounds such as music.
