The Hindsvik 'at' symbol confirms the generation-Y obsession with all things technological. Known for producing vintage home furnishings, the brand has released the wall decal in association with Etsy. The large sign is now a familiar image, typed out by millions on a daily basis, and as such it was arguably only a matter of time before someone brought it into the architectural realm.
The 29" wall hanging is offered in 9 bright shades, and buyers may choose between a black or natural wood finish. The Hindsvik brand also sells a line of large lumber-infused letters, allowing for the formation of concise Twitter-themed sentences, or perhaps e-mail addresses. The digital world has officially seeped into every niche imaginable.
