One of the signature characteristics of Flavor Paper lies in their collaborations with some of the most experimental and celebrated artists. These include the father of Pop Art, Andy Warhol, the singer of the Beastie Boys, Mike Diamond, and multimedia artist Liz Collins.
Warhol foundation
The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts was so impressed with the innovative quality of Flavor Paper that it granted them a unique deal, giving them access to a large number of artworks by the celebrated father of Pop Art. Flavor Paper used several of his iconic works of art, including silkscreen prints and film stills, as inspiration for a collection of wallpapers bearing his name.
Beastie Boys
One of Flavor Paper’s most unusual collaborations was with Mike Diamond from iconic band Beastie Boys. Mike wanted a Brooklyn-inspired wallpaper to decorate the walls of his Brooklyn mansion, paying tribute to all things Brooklyn in a French toile style. The resulting digital creation, called “Brooklyn Toile” captures many aspects of New York life, from Coney Island to Hasidic Jews to The Notorious B.I.G.
Liz Collins
Brooklyn-based multi-media artist Liz Collins is widely known for using fabric, knitwear, and textiles as basis for all her artwork, moulding and transforming them into multi-dimensional shapes. She has collaborated with Flavor Paper to create some truly iconic wallpapers, e.g. “Can Can”, a hypnotic design based on one of her suspended sculptures.
Lenny Kravitz
Another marriage between music and wallpaper took place when rock star icon Lenny Kravitz collaborated through his own design firm Kravitz Design with Flavor Paper to create a collection of wallpaper models inspired by Lenny’s love of Brazilian culture. With strong patterns, electric colours and powerful designs, “The Tropicalismo Collection” is an ode to the Brazilian Tropicalia movement of the late 1960s.
