“Color est e pluribus unus” is a famous Virgil phrase taken from his poem “Moretum” and describes the blending of colors into one.

With that in mind, Francesco Rugi and Silvia Quintanilla, the names behind Milan based collective Carnovsky, got inspired and created  a very special series of wallpapers named for Jannelli & Volpi, the famous Italian wallpaper brand.

Presented during Milan Design Week at the Jannelli & Volpi store, ‘RGB’ is a collection of wallpapers that surprisingly mutate and interact with different chromatic stimuli. It consists in the overlapping of three different patterns that results in unexpected and disorienting images. The colors blend together and the lines and shapes entwine producing a blurred vision. Through a filter it is possible to see clearly the layers throughwhich the image is composed. Each one of the red, green and blue filters serve to reveal just one of the three patterns, hiding the other two.

We need to see this to believe it…
