Wallpaper designed by Toxic

The prestigious Parisian wallpaper and fabric maker has teamed with American street artist Toxic for a collaborative collection.

Toxic and Pierre Frey have produced fabrics (€170/meter), wallpaper (€160) and a panoramic wall covering (3.5 meters wide and 2.5 meters tall, €750), all featuring vibrant colors and abstract, graffiti-style motifs.

There are two patterns available. The first is titled “No Toys Allowed,” perhaps to indicate that Toxic’s career is no longer a game, as it may have been in his formative years. The second motif, “Eighty/Thirty,” commemorates the 80th anniversary of the Pierre Frey brand, founded in 1935, and the 30th year of Toxic’s career as an artist.

Fittingly, the launch of the collection coincides with a Parisian museum exhibit that includes four of Toxic’s paintings.

“Pressionism, The Masterpieces of Graffiti on Canvas from Basquiat to Bando, 1970-1990” will be on display at the Pinacothèque through Sep 13.
