velocity art and design

1
it’s a week of new sites and new starts for so many people this week. i wanted to congratulate whipup on their new site and two of my favorite seattle residents, lara and john tusher of velocity art and design on their new store and new website. john and lara have been hard at work on their new showroom and updating their website, which now has over 20 categories to choose from and, my favorite, a section of new products. i check retail sites so often that i always appreciate having a section where i can go to find what’s “just in”. if you’re in the seattle area be sure to check out velocity’s new showroom at 251 yale ave north (206-749-9575). i’m dying to see this gorgeous wall mural in person. congrats guys!

How is the wall mural done – it is absolutely amazing? Decals? Painted?

Hi Leigh – That mural was designed by Tord Boontje for Moroso. It is a vinyl wall graphic not unlike Blik, just on a much larger scale. It comes in 7 panels that really should be professionally installed given the size and complexity of the piece. Each panel can be ordered individually as well in case someone doesn’t have a 27 foot long wall to show the entire piece. We will have it to order on our site shortly. Glad you liked it. It’s one of my favorite things about the new store. Have a wonderful weekend!

I work 2 blocks from this new Velocity store and the wall mural is just stunning in person! If you’re in Seattle, check it out!

LOVE Velocity, but sad they won’t ship internationally anymore :( I guess I will have to lust from afar…

Absolutely beautiful. What an amazing piece of art to look at every day! Does the mural come in other colors?

Oh, to have a wall like a Winter Wonderland, what a sweet dream…

[...] I’m all about swirly, girly, frilly and fun…so of course I fell in love with this wall design, found on Design Sponge.  View the original post here: HERE! [...]
