Star Wars Wallpaper! Imperial Forces Wall Covering by Brian Flynn of Super 7

Toy, art, design and culture company Super7 has announced the inaugural release of their collaboration with Lucasfilm for the new Imperial Forces Wallpaper.

The Star Wars wallpaper features textured portraits of our favorite Star Wars characters; Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and other members of the Empire. This hand-screened, flocked, designer wallpaper is an artistic and sci-fi way to decorate your home, office or death star.





Originally created by Super7 founder Brian Flynn as unique decoration for his retail store on San Francisco’s historic Haight St, the wallpaper was noticed by Star Wars super-collector and author Steve Sansweet, who took note of the high-quality and striking presentation.

About eBoy:
eBoy was founded in 1997 by Kai Vermehr, Steffen Sauerteig and Sven Smital with the acquisition of the eBoy.com domain. The basic idea driving eBoy was the embracement of the new possibilities of the emerging digital world. The decision to directly work on and for the screen led to the use of pixels. A modular based work system started to evolve and resulted in complex object rich artwork. eBoy is lucky to have worked with some of the finest clients and partners. Among them are Adidas, Coca Cola, Pepsi, Paul Smith, DKNY, Kidrobot, MTV, The New York Times, Wired Magazine and many, many more. eBoy currently is based in Berlin/Germany and in Vancouver/Canada.

Wallpaper Republic of Australia is yet another wonderful wallpaper company who collaborates with artists to create wall coverings that are not mass-produced. Like Rollout of Canada, they have many styles of artwork by artists from all over the world, which has been printed as wallpaper that can be purchased from their online store here.
