With a background as a commercial illustrator for such renowned publications as Vogue and El Pais the Spanish designer Jordi Labanda has brought his unique eye to the world of wallcoverings. The results are a vibrant range of wallpaper collections inspired by the fashion heydays of the 1950s intertwined with the style sensibilities of a designer whose views on design, fashion, culture, art and social interaction reflect those of someone who is immersed in the vibrancy and cosmopolitan chic of Barcelona. Labanda paints using gouache on paper and features eye-catching, stylish characters in lavish settings that symbolise a time and a place which are immediately understood as reflecting a new concept of modernity. There is more than a hint of James Bond era cheekiness mixed with the stylish elegance of Audrey Hepburn in his designs. Yeah baby!
