So recently I was asked to vote on up in coming new designs for the interior design industry. Quite a few caught my interest. I'd like to share....





This wall material is a quartz surface made to look like natural onyx. It still allows light to pass through, however, it is not as fragile and will not stain like natural quartz. It is produced by the Seiffe Corporation










To the right you will see a super cool new wallpaper product by Weitzner. Yes, it's actually magnetic wallpaper. Imagine the places that you could use something like this.










A product to go hand in hand with the magnetic wallpaper could be this paint by Wolf Gordon. It allows you to transform virtually any surface into a dry erase board. How cool is that?!?!?!











Another product that I'm really excited about is the sheer fabric by Sacho. These are actually two silk net panels with plastic squares sewn in between. The effect is a transparent fabric with continually moving sheen of reflection. Elegant yet dynamic.













Finally, a truly fantastic way to combine tiles. This pattern by Artistic Tile is a mix of glass and stone. As you can see the stone is used as a two toned background and leaf pattern, while the glass is used as the flowers. This design combination allows for a additional dimension to the tile when you see the reflection of the glass. The glass also acts as focal point to direct your attention to the flowers. The effect is really quite beautiful.
