It's not the cutting edge of Wallpaper* (the magazine) it’s about wallcoverings. Wallpaper never really goes out of style, it just resurges, as it is now, and this book documents the latest and hippest. The book opens with two essays, one on the history of contemporary wallpaper design and another on the techniques and methods being used. The bulk of the book is dedicated to the more than 50 established paper designers and emerging talents that are part of this most recent resurgence. There are five sections, Figurative, Abstract, Decorative, Architectural, Technical & Interactive, each with an explanation of the style and loads of photos. Some of the designers featured; Jane Gordon Clark, Neisha Crossland, Tracey Kendall, and Timorous Beasties. Softcover, 208 pages, 300 images, $26.37 at Amazon. Via decor8.
