Mike Diamond, of the Beastie Boys, worked with
Flavor Paper to create a custom wallpaper for his Brooklyn brownstone. The result:
Brooklyn Toile. Not just your average toile with bucolic scenes, but one that captivated the truth of Brooklyn.
Diamond brought in Vincent J. Ficarra and Adela Qersaqi of Revolver New York to help execute the design. At first glance it appears to be a standard toile wallpaper. Upon closer inspection one realizes that there are vignettes of Coney Island, elevated subways, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the one and only Notorious B.I.G.
Completely blown away? Yeah, me too.

I am absolutely buying and framing a sample of this. It's certainly worth heading over to
Flavor Paper to check out the rest of their designs.
What do you think? Do you appreciate this modern playful take on classic designs?
