Chicago-based artist and architect Ben Holiday designed this facade self-adhesive wallpaper for home retailer CB2. Taking inspiration from a classic, cityscape the artist captures a photo-realistic view of a linear, urban facade.
The result is an urban-inspired wallpaper design that brings the outdoor buzz of the big city into one's home. CB2's facade self-adhesive wallpaper features a black-and-white image of a fire escape that boasts vivid reflections and soft shadows.
The graphic composition is sold in pieces that measure 20.5" in width by 396" in height. Each piece is easy to apply thanks to its self-adhesive backing. This easy peel and stick application allows for a smooth transfer to walls and ensures that removal of the pieces won't be a messy process.
