Brooklyn Toile Handscreened - Flatbush

Mike Diamond of the Beastie Boys collaborated with Vincent J. Ficarra and Adela Qersaqi of the creative agency Revolver New York to design a bespoke wallpaper to bring his unique Brooklyn vibe to his brownstone. Brooklyn Toile is a modern homage to Brooklyn in classic French toile de Jouy style, featuring scenes from Coney Island to Borough Hall to the Fulton Mall. With etchings of The Notorious B.I.G., elevated subways, pigeons, the Brooklyn Bridge, and b-boys mackin' with boomboxes, this wallpaper is the King's borough. Na' mean? An earthy, dusty cinnamon slate mauve linework is handscreened onto a shimmery platinum colored clay coated paper in our Flatbush colorway. The interplay between the ink and the substrate shifts the etchings from positive to negative depending on lighting and angle, constantly refreshing itself. Aside from occupying pride of place in Mike D’s home, Brooklyn Toile has been included in MoMA: Destination NYC, acquired by the Brooklyn Museum as part of its permanent collection, and featured in the Musée de la Toile de Jouy Oberkampf bicentennial.
