orange piel provides the palette





i'm ga ga over wall treatments as you can all see from this weeks blog posts. while i'm on a roll might as well keep going. another blogger turned me on to this site called orange piel. they push walls to the limit with not only providing back lighting, outstanding crisp images and a wide variety of choices but how about adding in acoustic abilities. yes folks it's true. some of their designs offer thousands of tiny micro-perforations per square foot and when coupled with an appropriate acoustic insulator, can significantly dampen ambient noise. this particular covering is called clipso and is "the perfect marriage of technology and aesthetics." plus in my own words you just sit and say wow while scrolling on your computer at what they've done with some of their spaces. but like hanging a particular piece of art on your wall, you'd better hope you can live with it a while. my first thoughts are that this concept works well commercially, where people come and go and are not attached to any one image too too long. enjoy!
