In partnership with Londonart, Marcel Wanders has created a wallpaper capsule collection inspired by 13 international cities, along with an additional covering that conveys a collage of design heritage. Marcel Wanders and Londonart share the same passion for exuberant, rich and elegant designs and collaborated closely to present ‘Wanderlust’ – a vision of Marcel Wanders that translates different cities from five continents through his eyes.
“These wall coverings are a dimensional way to bring people on a journey. They transform any room into the exciting and immersive cultures and customs in the world,” says Marcel Wanders.
The collection is digitally printed, featuring elements from each place and defined by Marcel’s vision.
Delft is anchored in Delft Blue with flowers of blue and white.
Vienna is highlighted by computational language and architectural motives. Versailles presents flowers and roses, while Melbourne reveals Agatha stone and is material based. Paris is mainly a crystal reflection with optical effects and kaleidoscopic effects.

Shanghai also features optical effects offering a richness with no empty space. Havana presents tulips, vegetation and
floral elements in an intense way. Amsterdam is emblazoned with stylized flowers that recall of embroidery. Pompeii looks as if it’s made out of a marble carving. It is monochromatic offering a relief effect and depth. Kyoto was inspired by kimonos and uses 2-D visual effects. Macho Picchu is a mix of floral and computational language that portrays a jungle feeling. Rio highlights a juxtaposition of different types of flowers and is a translation of the moods of the seasons. Finally, Cape Town is inspired by African motifs, wood carvings and African textiles.

Also part of the collection is a special pattern known as Athena, which portrays a mix of cultures references and Marcel Wanders signatures such as the bell and the vase – all together in a beautiful iconic figurative artwork.
Mondrian Doha, inspired by the ‘One Thousand and One Nights’, the famous collection of Middle Eastern folk tales, and Atlantis, a submarine and silent oceanic landscape that hides elements of the Dutch tradition, for a surreal journey.
“Wall coverings lend themselves to the creation of patterns and details of our signature elements. They give us a large
canvas to share a global vision and our passion for design,” adds Gabriele Chiave.
