UM Project, Flavor Paper collaborate: create conductive wallpaper for your home

Furniture brand UM Project has teamed up with New York-based wallpaper company Flavor paper on the ‘Conduct’ project, presented at collective design fair during NYCxDESIGN 2017. Conduct — an interactive installation turns the tradition of control items on the outside of walls with wires hidden away inside them with the idea of embedding wires within walls and instead using conductive inks to create circuitry that is at once beautiful and functional. The installation is composed of five motorized or electrical objects. Abstract interpretations of a fan, a light box, a lamp, a speaker, and a mirror on a hinge are mounted on a wall covered in paper that’s printed with conductive ink. When a person touches one of the half dollar-sized copper dots on the wall, her body completes an electrical circuit and turns “on” the object. For example, the fan starts spinning, the light turns on, and the mirror on a hinge pivots.
