New York, NY - Wolf-Gordon announces the expansion of its Curated Collection—a selection of
over 30 different digital designs and photographic images by artists—available in a range of
colors and materials. The Curated Collection is presented alongside examples of WG Customs
Lab digital projects in a new look book.
The Curated Collection is part of WG Customs Lab, a full-service design studio that helps clients
realize their visions of custom, digital print wallcoverings. Through a combination of design
expertise, technical know-how, and state-of-the-art digital imaging, WG Customs Lab is able to
create customized surfaces to suit the specific needs of architects and designers.
The Curated Collection offers specially designed imagery for wallcoverings by a select group of
artists. The featured design, Slice, made in collaboration with karlssonwilker inc., is an outgrowth
from an interactive installation at NeoCon® 2015 that captured images of visitors and processed
them into vibrant abstract patterns displayed on a 30-foot-long field of 15,000 LED lights. Slice is
a body-generated pattern that expresses the unique beauty of digital imagery.
Other new additions to the Curated Collection include three new patterns by artist Carla
Weisberg. Weisberg’s nature-inspired prints combine drawings and photography—cut up and reconfigured to create a new take on traditional designs such as stripes and crosshatches. OBO
Design Brooklyn’s suite of four new designs captures the textures of the city and transforms
them into elegant visions and patterning.
The Curated Collection’s designs are diverse and dynamic, designed to energize space. Whether
developing a concept, modifying an existing design, or translating a material, WG Customs Lab’s
team of skilled designers from the fields of art, illustration, graphics, photography, and interior
design oversee each project from concept to production. WG Customs Lab makes wallcovering
products on demand and tailored to a specific client’s needs, providing limitless design
opportunities.

OBO Design Brooklyn brings the outside inside. We pillage the overlooked visual treasure trove in
the streets of lower Manhattan and Brooklyn for ideas worth repeating. We find beauty in bolts,
pipes, rivets, cables, street signs, building numbers and subway grates. We isolate and extract
these found treasures from their environment. We alter their scale, their color, their very identity,
to obfuscate their humble origins and submit them to the wonders of repetition, always looking
for the happy accident that turns the mundane into the magnificent.
