As Seen in: Ilan Dei Press Round-up

With Ilan Dei wall graphics it’s easy to bring the great outdoors, indoors. A few weeks ago we launched two new designs from Ilan: Rose and Calla. These fabulous wall graphics are catching the attention of nature lovers all over the web. The graphics can be found sprouting up in the Los Angeles Times Home section, JuxtapozCuratedThe Riot Club, outblushUrban Flea, and Today’s Nest.

The Los Angeles Times calls them: “The ultimate drought-tolerant houseplant.”
Juxtapoz talks about how “Dei’s inspiration for the botanical graphics came from his love of nature combined with his clean design aesthetic.” And according to Urban Flea: “I think I should just officially declare today “Wall Day…” I can’t seem to escape it!”

Check them out for yourself and start Blik-ing your walls with these botanical graphics today.

Blik was featured in the July Issue of Ladies’ Home Journal in the Home: Living Beautifully section. The magazine showcased Blik’s Classic Chair Backs from Studio Jan Habraken and how the decals can be cleverly used to spruce up lawn furniture. Old chairs can instantly be transformed into charming backyard conversation pieces with an ammonia-based cleaner, spray paint, and Blik of course! Sounds like a good summer project to us.

Wow! We are thrilled with the recent accolades Blik has received.

Earlier this month, the fashion and culture tastemakers at Style Section L.A. profiled Blik and declared “adding high drama to your abode is as easy as peel-and-stick.” We could not agree more. We also loved being called a genius wall decal company. A little flattery goes a long way!

Entrepreneur’s Annual 100 Brilliant Ideas (June issue) looked at 10 areas that are growing fast and in each area they found 10 companies that bring jaw-dropping ingenuity to the table. And (drumroll, please) Blik was chosen as the top company in the Home Improvement category. Pick-up a copy of the June issue today to read about how Blik is bringing high design to the masses.

AS SEEN IN…2X4 PRESS ROUND-UP

The release of the new 2×4 for Blik graphics have created quite a stir in the design world. We are pleased to say that the four graphics have gotten recognition in Dwell, Metropolis, NotCot and designworklife.

Dwell: Wall Decals from Blik: “The Punctuation Flowers are a bit more abstract, though will certainly jostle for attention with anything else in the room.”

Metropolis: 2×4 for All: “Now even those of us who can’t afford to shop at Prada can have a little of 2×4’s visual savvy in our daily lives.”

NotCot: 2×4 for Blik: “The design collaborative created four graphics for Blik.”

designworklife: Blik + 2×4: “In Blik’s latest collaboration, they’ve teamed up with 2×4 on a few awesome sets of decals for the typographically-inclined. ”

AS SEEN IN…ALBERTA HOME

Since the Olympics we’ve had Canada fever. It’s good to know they are fond of us as well. The Spring 2010 issue of Alberta Home featured Mina Javid for Blik’s Nico headboard. The Nico headboard isn’t an optical illusion; it’s just a cool way to cap off a look that’s part trickery, and plenty of fun.

In the interview, Saelee discusses her most recent solo exhibit, Infinite Roots at the prestigious Jonathan LeVine Gallery, introduces her new works on paper and talks about designing products, like her graphics for Blik. The interview also gives insight into where she finds inspiration, how she began painting and her unmistakable feminine aesthetic. Read the article and find your own inspiration.

Anise Spotted in Santa Monica

Animal Wellness Centers on Main Street in Santa Monica was profiled in Saturday’s Los Angeles Times Home section. And looked what we spotted – Anise wall graphics by Ilan Dei for Blik! The clean, minimalist space was designed with a dog’s perspective in mind, with everything from 3 ft. down appealing to dogs. It’s nice when Blik can make dogs and people happy. Woof!
