Celebrating the Legacy of Keith Haring

Filed under: Decor, Art

It's been twenty years since artist Keith Haring died and although his career was very short his designs live on. In celebration of Keith Haring's birthday on May 4th (he would have been only 52), Blik, the maker of self-adhesive surface graphics, is releasing four new Keith Haring licensed wall graphics: "Untitled Face," "Robot DJ 84," "Untitled Heart" and "Spaceship Pyramid" as part of their line of Haring wall decals. The four designs chosen by Blik and The Haring Foundation represent some of Haring's most iconic images and those that have a strong emotional attachment for his fans. "Untitled Heart" shown above, sells for $55.

Fling Wall Flips

If traditional wallpaper is too non-interactive for your tastes, consider Wall Flips by designer Ilan Dei. The flips use a magnetic system that allows them to attach to walls via a small adhesive wall magnet. Since each tile is 1/8" thick, they will seem to be floating above the surface of the wall. The tiles can easily be arranged in different patterns and designs. The flips vary in size and shape, but all tiles are a different color on each side. Custom colors are available. Prices range from $36 to $45 per set, depending on size and shape. The large Fling Flips pictured are 12" across and sold in sets of 4 for $45.
