Elysium – Surreal Wonderland Wallpaper – Gold

An eclectic design with a mixture of animals and objects sitting upon jewel-toned backgrounds.

Elysium is a cabinet of curiosities growing on stems. Flowers open to reveal a brass compass and a clock face; a squirrel in a top hat sits in a teacup; a frog in spectacles plays a cello; a bird in its own top hat perches above a pair of dice. Scattered between them are a cupcake, a lollipop, a cherry, a padlock and key, a pea pod, a peacock feather, a candle flame, toadstools, butterflies, a hummingbird and a flying fish. Nothing in it behaves as it should, and it rewards looking at for a long time.

The gold background is the warmest and most antique of the four — closest to an old lacquered screen, and the one where the brass compass and clock read as real objects.

Elysium is an offset match with a 64cm pattern repeat, printed on a non-woven substrate: you paste the wall rather than the paper, which makes it quicker to hang and strippable when you remove it. Also available in Green, Mulberry and Plaster.
