Love and Haight

Designer Sondra Alexander always seems to straddle the line between fashion and product design very well. Never following trends, yet somehow perfectly on point with her designs that are classic but fresh at the same time. Her new collection, Haight Ashbury, brings the San Francisco 60’s vibe of hand-dyed wallcoverings made from organic rice paper and water based inks to an elevated level with the moody color palette and unfussy aesthetic. We can’t get enough of the wallcoverings because of their versatile usage and how seamlessly they would fit in with Proenza Schouler’s spring collection! Check out all the wallcoverings at yangki’s redesigned website: www.yangki.com

The new Nature Collection doesn’t disappoint with its seven styles of wallcovering based around the elements of earth, water and light. The beautiful papers use unique materials such as stone and pulp to create slightly raised surfaces that shimmer and shine in various lights. Made from thinly sliced layers of stone and then backed on paper, “Quarry” and “Stratum” have been garnering much media attention. Imagine the possibilities…
