Classified to BS En 13501-1-1:2002, class B, s1, d0Paisley Paramecium is a playful design celebrating the micro-organisms that form the base of the pyramid of all life. The inspiration for this design was a play on the traditional tear-drop shape of the paisley motif resembling a unicellular organism called a paramecium. The species in this design are aquatic, including many free-floating plankton upon whom the health of all marine creatures, from fish fry to whales, depends. Phytoplankton are also of serious conservation concern - warming oceans have caused population declines of 40% since 1950. Change is desperately needed in how we perceive our interconnectedness within, and dependence upon, the web of life.As well as evoking droplets of water the design plays upon the conventions of the traditional paisley design. It is also reminiscent of stitching and lace, as the fabric of nature is fragile and intricately interwoven and embellished. The colouration is quite free as many of these species are really quite transparent.With exquisite biological detail, it builds on the passion in interiors for honouring the natural world. Furthermore, for every roll of wallpaper sold, 100m2 of critical wild Habitat is preserved through World Land Trust. This is an eco-friendly fine gicleé digitally-printed “real” wallpaper. It is printed in the UK on a natural non-woven cellulose-based substrate made from recycled materials – recycled polyester (PET) fibre and recycled wood pulp. The production process is solvent free with minimal waste and energy inputs.
