Cavern wallpaper borrows designs from Peru past and present

July 3, 2008

New York-based wallpaper designer Carly Margolis found the inspiration for her latest pattern on a visit to Casa de Milagros, an orphanage in Peru. Using a hand-rendered chakana -- an Inca spiritual symbol representing heaven, Earth and hell -- as a repeated graphic element, Margolis integrated drawings by the children throughout the hand-silk screened print. Available in chocolate brown, olive and turquoise, the wallpaper is $155 per roll. Proceeds will go directly to Casa de Milagros. The paper is sold in a two-roll minimum, which will cover about 66 square feet. www.cavernhome.com.
