"Our wallpaper is a reimagining of dreams, comfort and beauty” - Labinac

When Jimmie Durham, one of the Founders of LABINAC, died on November 17th in 2021, the idea of working on a wallpaper was already in the air but, despite the immeasurable loss that this event brought inside the collective, the group of designers never thought of interrupting the creative path they had begun together. On the contrary, they continued to carry on the investigations which had already commenced on this project based on the work done up to that moment. They therefore started from the original sketches: graphic powder prints that Jimmie had made with stuffed animals that were transported onto paper convey a vivid expression of the inner narratives that this visual imagery represents, somewhere between comfort and dreams. The activity in the background - the result of a collective painting process - colourful, fluid, lively, works on the variations of abstract spaces that fix no narratives but instead encourage further dreams.
