Subversive momento mori damask print

We find inspiration from all over here at Vital Design. We recently stumbled upon the website of Studio Printworks a company based in Hoboken, NJ that designs and produces exclusive wallpapers and fabrics. In their own words Studio Printworks “was founded with the philosophy that sophisticated, hand-printed wallpaper adds style and richness to any home, be it city maisonette or rustic country cottage. It is with this ideal in mind that we offer high-style designs from diverse moments, places, and hands.

In the spirit of the great 20th Century design masters, and with the talents of fine, contemporary artists we create wallpaper, not as quiet backdrop, but as stimulant for the eye and the soul.”

We’re loving their classic patterns with hints of subversive imagery. Taking a traditional damask pattern and adding a skull as in their wallpaper “Momento Mori” or cowboys and oil rigs in the paper “Yee-Haw“? We’re quite Inspired. Now if  we could only convince them to start printing their patterns in Vital orange…

A fellow tweeter posted this link and we were impressed and inspired by many of the logos on this list. Being a marketing firm, we love logos over here at Vital! We’re always inspired by creative ways of communicating a brand’s identity.
