Thanks to David Torrents, I’ve finally realized that wall stickers can be fun! I’ve never really been a huge fan of decals, despite my love of art, but even I would love to play around with this set of stickers inspired by the work of Dutch graphic designer and teacher Karel Martens (pictured above).
As you can see, the Karel Kit is made up of numerous, colorful meccano-like parts that children can stick together to create their own shapes, scenes and stories. The decals are semi-transparent so they’re particularly effective on glass, as shown above, but will adhere to almost any surface.
I’m smitten, and my enthusiasm has prompted me to share a small selection of original decal finds – enjoy!
