Down with wallpaper, up with paint: a simple slogan for people who like decorating the easy way. Here to change our minds is Jonas Samson, whose light-emitting wallpaper adds an element of strange beauty to the old-fashioned notion of covering walls in rolls of thick, slime-covered linen.\

"The high-tech light-emitting wallpaper by Jonas Samson makes it possible to have light from a two-dimensional surface rather than a 3D
object. As long as the wallpaper is turned ‘off’, in no way does it refer to its being a source of light. Instead, it is just what it appears to be: wallpaper."

For Mk II, I'd like it to be a hi-res display, instead of a single object. But I'll take what I can get, which, as this is just a prototype, is precisely nothing.
