If It's Hip, It's Here (Archives): rollout

I did a post awhile ago on Vancouver 's Rollout, a creative design company that produces custom wallpaper as well as a series of artist designed wallpapers.

Their latest custom designs include two fabulous patterns for Mango Shiva, a contemporary Indian restaurant in Calgary.

When Rollout sat down with Kam Dhillon over some mango lhassi and asked what he was looking for in his custom wallpapers, he thought a moment and said "The Beatles go to Bollywood on an Acid Trip". They smiled and said: "No problem Kam. No problem at all."

The project required 1000 sq/ft of wallpaper for the Girls & Boys Restroom walls and ceilings. The overall aesthetic of the main room was too elegant and restrained but Mr. Dhillon wanted the bathrooms to be lush with vibrant colour and imagery.

I think they achieved it, see for yourself:

The latest additions to their artist designed series (and available for purchase) are the following three designs, including one that's as close to Pantone wallpaper as I can find, thus far:

The Owl, the Cat and the Hand by Pandarosa

Bikes by Telegramme:

Uncoated ( a nod to Pantone)by Jonathan Nodrick:

View below to see how the "uncoated' design is on the roll in it's entirety:

ROLLOUT is a creative studio that designs and digitally prints custom wallpapers by the square foot. They recruit community-based artists, photographers, industrial designers and cutting edge graphic artists/designers to create amazingly original wall coverings, many seen in hip stores and offices like Worth clothing and Microsoft's Zune.

As described on their site:

ROLLOUT was born out of the need for graphic expression in the interior design industry. Gone are the days of slick minimalism. We embrace texture, expression, emotion and color, filling the gaping hole left by modernism.

Below are some of their custom designs:

In addition to designing custom wallpapers, they have "stock" designer and artist papers that you can choose from. They can print these papers to fit your space. Please contact them for a quote.

Their premium, latex-based inkjet wallcoverings come in 36’’ wide rolls that they digitally print to any square footage. This allows ROLLOUT to minimize waste – and your costs. ROLLOUT delivers ready-to-hang wallpaper, developed to your precise specifications, to your project site.

Now, it's true, with wall coverings like these it's very difficult to hang art on the walls. But then again, with wall coverings like these, who needs art?
