HP in wall art collaboration at Heimtextil

HP collaborated with world-renowned designer Karim Rashid at Heimtextil last week to demonstrate the results that can be achieved with its latex ink and wide format printers.

Rashid designed the lounge area of HP’s exhibition booth, which was produced using hardware and software from the modular HP digital wallcovering range.

The range includes front-end software, media, printing and finishing options, including the HP WallArt Solution software that was launched at the show with a one-year free trial offer.

Rashid said: "The HP Heimtextil booth acts as a portal to the digital world. To highlight HP’s digital printing capabilities, patterns are applied to a wide array of mediums. This creates an immersive and functional space without looking like a catalogue."

HP marketing director of sign and display Joan Pérez Pericot said: "We are very proud to be collaborating with Rashid to demonstrate HP’s digital printing possibilities.

"The trend is about differentiation with unique design, from decoration customised around a brand image to personalised design reflecting individual tastes.

"With HP technology, inspiration, differentiation and uniqueness become a reality from one-off customised designs to short-runs in exclusive design reproductions."
