Glow-in-the-Dark Wallpaper

The Phosphowall Prototype

— October 2, 2008 — Art & Design
The Phosphowall phosphorescent wallpaper prototype IchetKar has designed is like the grown-up version of two '80s phenomena: Hypercolor shirts and glow-in-the-dark ceiling stars. I'm on board anyway.

The Phosphowall candy-colored striped wallpaper is made with phosphorescent ink. It soaks up light during the day so that it can glow all night long, thereby eliminating stubbed toes and temporary blindness from turning lights on during the wee hours of the night. It will be produced by Rasch and will be on display at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs from Friday until January 9th.
Trend Themes
1. Phosphorescent Wallpaper - Phosphowall's innovative wallpaper uses phosphorescent ink to soak up light during the day and glow all night, providing a practical solution for eliminating the need for lights at night.
2. Glow-in-the-dark Decor - The Phosphowall prototype represents a larger trend of incorporating glow-in-the-dark elements into home decor, offering both functional and aesthetic benefits.
3. Retro-inspired Design - Taking inspiration from '80s phenomena like Hypercolor shirts and glow-in-the-dark ceiling stars, the Phosphowall wallpaper taps into the nostalgia of retro design trends.
Industry Implications
1. Interior Design - The Phosphowall prototype presents an opportunity for the interior design industry to explore new ways of incorporating innovative and functional lighting solutions into their projects.
2. Home Decor - The incorporation of glow-in-the-dark elements, such as the Phosphowall wallpaper, offers home decor brands the chance to tap into a growing demand for unique and practical lighting options.
3. Printing and Manufacturing - The production of phosphorescent wallpaper, like the Phosphowall prototype, requires printing and manufacturing expertise, creating opportunities for companies in this industry to innovate and create new products.
