The motifs in the first wallpaper collection from Los Angeles–based paint brand Backdrop appear summoned from thin air by an artist’s hand in a single prolific sitting. The new line was adapted from a series of original artworks, yet its painterly character and tonal sophistication were carefully evolved over the past year by cofounders Natalie and Caleb Ebel with their in house design team to “bring the power of color and pattern together.” The husband and wife duo—Caleb mastered direct-to-consumer strategy at Warby Parker, while Natalie specializes in marketing, design, and color theory—launched the industry’s first 100 percent online, certified climate-neutral purveyor of premium wall paint in 2018. “We set out to reimagine the category from start to finish with expertly curated, low-VOC paint in recyclable cans shipped right to people’s doorstep,” shares Caleb.
