inke heiland’s safari silhouettes

I simply adore Dutch designer Inke Heiland’s fun and funky alternative to mass-produced wall decals. Cut from retro-fabulous vintage wallpaper, Inke’s silhouettes of everything from Ostriches to Orangutans present a safari of sophisticated options for dressing up a kid-friendly space. And, with tons of wallpaper patterns and colourways to choose from, you’ll always find something that’ll work within your existing decor.

Look out! There’s something behind you…

Check out those deliciously vintage prints! (The Birds are my absolute fave, and are among the most inexpensive in the collection, running about $32 for a set of two 19cm x 27cm silhouettes.)

Inke’s collection of wallpaper wildlife continues to grow, with the recent addition of a new Baby Elephant silhouette.

must have: silhouette art

picture 21 must have: silhouette artI was scouting for product online late last night — scouting in PJs is highly underrated, btw — and made one of those “Eureka!”-esque finds that was totally unrelated to what I was actually on the hunt for. I was on the website of Karl Johnson, an absolutely brilliant cut-paper artist who I’d actually interviewed for STYLE AT HOME not long ago — read the interview here! — and came across one of his prints that I knew I had to have. (For my own work-in-progress digs, that is — not for the STYLE AT HOME story I was working on… Oops!) It’s a totally clever “spot the Hitchcock movie icon”, and plays into several of my obsessions — black and white art, Hitchcock, and Johnson’s breathtaking silhouette artistry. What’s more, it’s art I can actually afford. Bonus!
