Traditionally wallpaper is for Victorian era old people who live in houses that smell like cats, but lighting designer Ingo Maurer feels differently. This month he unveiled LED wallpaper at Spazio Krizia 2006 in Milan. Remember how in the ’80’s everybody was sticking digital clocks in old inventions and calling them new? Now it’s a toss-up between LEDs and iPod docks. We’re hoping for LEDs because the technology is still completely underutilized. And while this wallpaper is surely the price of Hawaii, it’s only a matter of time before Ingo sells out to Target and we have glowy walls in every home. Check out the jump for more pictures of his “bright” designs.
