Into the Wild: “Overgrow,” a New Line from Calico Wallpaper in Brooklyn

May 12, 2020

On our radar: a collaboration between Brooklyn-based wallcovering company Calico Wallpaper and LA/NYC architecture and design firm Charlap Hyman & Herrero, installed at Schloss Hollenegg, an Austrian castle. The collection of bespoke wallcovering, called Overgrow, is part of “Walden,” an exhibition curated by Alice Stori Liechtenstein, founder of the castle’s design program.

Above: “Overgrow depicts the lush and verdant vines that spill down from the covered walkways, staircases, and towers surrounding the castle.”

Above: “Permanently installed amongst the furnishings of a stately bedroom and large tapestries from the 17th century, the mural teeters between a romantic suggestion of man’s poetic relationship with nature and an ominous reminder that all buildings will become ruins eventually, overtaken by the untamable.”
