Designer Iris Maschek launched her Wallpaper collection in 2006 predominantly for the interior design market and private commissions and now sells them, along with her wall murals, to the public. The abstract digital designs consist of overlapping line art and patterns, shadowy silhouettes and a combination of the two for striking and modern interior designs.
