Kirath Ghundoo introduces her new wallpaper collection for 2013. Entitled '13' the collection showcases three new patterns, Jewel, Ash and Sombre. Drawing influences from Arabian architecture, dark nights and nature, 13 was born, which captures snippets of an opulent colour palette represented through a rich aubergine and teal. Using Ghundoo's iconic mix 'n' match style, '13' can be showcased within this format or as simple non matched designs, the possibility of display combinations are endless! Ghundoo wallpapers are sustainable in design due to the non-repeat non-matched nature of her collections much of the 10 metre roll is used, limiting wastage.

Roll size and stats:  52cm by 10m, Matt 170gsm wallpaper, designed and printed in England.
Price:  £140.00 per roll, please contact us for trade enquiries.
Lead Time:  1-3 weeks

Colours can be changed within the collection, a commission charge will be added. Samples are posted out at a small charge, please contact us at: mail@kirathghundoo.com. The samples for Jewel and Sombre have been resized as the actual repeats are over a 1.5 metres long. Customers will gage an idea of texture and colour quality through theses specific samples.

For order queries/sales please drop us an email at mail@kirathghundoo.com or please  visit our online store.

Shortlisted ELLE Decoration British Design Award Nominee 2012

It was great to part of this years 100% Design's marketing campaign. Creative balance strikes a chord with many designers and is a constant challenge I face on a daily basis as a professional designer. ​My wallpapers from the Mix 'n' Match 11 collection were used in a very quirky photoshoot.

Striking a creative balance is the challenge faced by designers and organisations to achieve commercial and critical success. Tensions between innovation and sales, budgets and materials, time and resources demand a creative balance in responding to a brief, developing a product and delivering good design. These issues are more relevant then ever as design has to work harder, in competitive market conditions and challenging economic times.

Latest Press: A beautiful write up on the '13' wallpaper collection from the team at Surface Asia in Australia. Published within the May 2013 edition.

Contra  Vision are known for their see-through graphic technology. Their Vision Management System™ comprises products and technologies designed to be seen, and to be seen through and which transform transparent panels and surfaces in more ways than you’d think possible
I was approached by Contra Vision to create a series of  see through graphic panels for their new sales office in Manchester. Working closely with the team, I designed five large see through panels,  exploring large geometric forms and the colours that are indicative to the Contra Vision brand. It was a fabulous, challenging project and great to see my surface print utilised within another format.

​Bright and White Dental Practice have undertaken an interior redesign this year.   'Sharon' from our Mismatch wallpaper collection creates a  quirky feature wall within the treatment room, which looks fabulous.
