Sri Lankan designer Maneesha Paranagama may have come up with a novel new trend - walls with sweets, fruit and broken crockery.
Some of the wallpaper designs created by the 22 year-old went on show at the UK’s largest furniture show.
Maneesha, who is studying Textile Design at Birmingham City University impressed visitors at the Furniture Show at the NEC Birmingham.
We might be furnishing our homes in the future, which includes incorporating bael fruit – normally found hanging from trees in India and Bangladesh – into wallpaper.
“My main intention was to push the limits of decorative artwork and unconventional beauty”, said Maneesha.
“I’ve explored the idea of natural versus man-made materials and have particularly enjoyed utilising food as part of my signature work aesthetic."
The work on display by Birmingham City University students was in collaboration with Colour Hive, a London based creative agency recognised internationally for its accurate colour and trend forecasting solutions for the design industry.
