STORY The collections produced by Holland & Sherry’s Long Island City wallcovering studio represent hand-painted wallpaper at its finest. Each of our artists has both a fine arts degree and many years of experience in the field, and their skills are reflected in the craftsmanship of their work.
EVERY DESIGN is conceived and executed in our workspace in Long Island City, using painting techniques that are innovative yet rooted in tradition. We are inspired by our urban environment, as well as by the commonplace items around us that creative minds employ to create singularly uncommon products. Beautiful, luxurious, and durable, our painted wallcoverings lend themselves to unlimited customization.
• TAKE A LOOK INSIDE •
On our tables, paint meets its masters. Most of our tools are handmade from found, repurposed items chosen for the unique effects they yield.
Sometimes it’s not what you add but what you take away...
To create our wallpapers, our artists PUSH, PULL, SCRAPE, & COMB their paint.
ARCHETYPE The first collection with which the studio launched in 2014, Archetype’s ten patterns are a carefully-perfected study in texture and color layering. Offered in colors ranging from bold metallics to soft neutrals, these designs are crafted with such tools as perforated sheet metal, hair picks, and takeout cartons.
“SILMARILLION” begins with a humble radiator grate mounted into a silkscreen frame, and finishes with a subtle, sophisticated texture.

PARADIGM Combining 21st-century digital graphics with traditional silkscreen and painting techniques, the Paradigm collection features five uniquely modern designs that explore the tension between pattern and texture. Colorway and pattern details are completely customizable.
With its distinctive droplet texture, “ARGOS� uses the physicality of paint as well as just the pigment.
“SEVERIN” was inspired by tire treads, on view in the taxi yards surrounding our studio space.
“HYDRA� recalls the mechanical beauty of everything from truss structures to sidewalk grates.
