Case Study: Corbis Corbis is a stock photography company with a comprehensive library of photographs, videos, and illustrations that can be licensed for a variety of uses. Corbis recently relocated in Manhattan and hired the highly acclaimed design firm A+I Architecture to design its new space. Corbis wanted to maintain a clean look and feel while using a PVC-free wallcovering substrate to display some of its most striking images. To accomplish these goals, A+I turned to Designtex for its digital wallcovering expertise and range of wallcovering substrates that meet the Designtex Corbis wanted to maintain a clean look and feel, while displaying some environmental design criteria. The overall concept of its most striking images. for the space called for a predominantly white, clean theme with digitally printed wallcovering applied to all of the vertical surfaces. Digital Duraprene™, a PVC-free material with recycled paper content, was selected as the wallcovering substrate. A+I utilized Corbis’s powerful images to design a series of compelling murals to cover approximately 3,000 square feet of wall space. As an added challenge, Corbis wanted the images to continue over the doors and elevators. Working out the technical challenges to achieve this goal involved careful collaboration between Designtex and the installation team. At the project’s completion the space looked just how Corbis wanted: branded, bold, and sophisticated.
The wallcovering design was created by A+I, utilizing Corbis’s powerful images to make a series of murals totaling approximately 3,000 square feet.

Designtex: Digital Walls Made Simple 1. Select a substrate. Choose one of the four available bases and finishes. When choosing a substrate, consider budgets, environmental design, and any particular requirements for your specific application. 2. Determine the width and height of each wall. To keep things simple, measure the entire width and height of your wall, ignoring doors, windows, and other architectural elements. 3. Let us know how you’d like to handle the artwork. If you would like to share your ideas with us, our design staff can begin developing custom artwork. If you are able to produce your own files, send them to us for review. We can also help you source stock photography and illustrations from a variety of sources to meet any budget. 4. Get a quote. Send us the details of your project and we’ll deliver pricing based on your specifications. If you have a budget, we’ll suggest options that will allow you to stay on target. 5. Proof Approval. The final step includes sending an electronic version of your wallcovering design followed by a physical proof (strikeoff ) for your approval. Once approved, your wallcovering will be produced and shipped to your site. 6. Installation. We can coordinate installation through a nationwide network of pre-qualified installers. All wallcovering ships with detailed installation instructions.
