There are now (it seems) dozens of companies that are making stickers that are used as architectural appliques. This makes sense to me. The medium is young and exciting, and designers want to push the sticker genre as far as possible. The most successful designer of this genre, currently, is Munchausen who has created this chandelier sticker which is sold at Ugly Home in Paris. This sticker can (very inexpensively) make even the simplest lamp look extravagent by suggesting a decadent shadow of a chandelier. Most interior apliques reveal or conceal what a room IS. This powerful concept is one of the first physical applications that reveal what a room could be. Brilliant.
