Light emitting wallpaper is green in more ways than one

Imagine a world where we didn’t have to have lights in every room with accompanying fixtures and stands taking up valuable space in our living quarters. Imagine a world where light could be placed anywhere we wanted, invisible to the naked eye until we needed it. Jonas Samson has envisioned and created what is quite possibly the coolest interior design product ever: Light Emitting Wallpaper. The paper is actually constructed of several layers; one for electricity, one where the LED’s reside, and finally a traditional wallpaper layer on top. Using the LED’s will greatly reduce the size and energy footprint (green #1) of the household which in return saves money on your wallet for electric bills. One caveat however is the cost. Marketed as a higher end premium product, those green bills you will save from reduced electrical costs will go in to the rather pricey entrance fee to join the cool kids club. With a price of roughly 6000 Euros/$8,500 USD (per yard?….green #2), only the truly wealthy will enjoy this new wallpaper for the immediate future. If you’re itching to get your own, you may want to put the horse back in the stable for a bit as it hasn’t been released to the public yet. Prohibitive costs aside, this wallpaper is insanely cool. Would you deck out your house in it?
