## Caption

You guys loved hearing about VELVET a few weeks ago, and how our staff thinks it’s one of the most “Criminally Overlooked” wallpaper patterns in the Porter Teleo collection (go look for the green video about 8 reels back if you missed it 💚), so we figured we’d extend the series to give some of our other underestimated favorites their time in the spotlight!

This next one is an oldie but a goodie. One of Porter Teleo’s very first hand painted wallcovering patterns, FLUIDITY gets its cascading quality by first dripping a richly pigmented ink onto an unpainted background. The panel is set aside for a few moments - to give the ink time to settle into the fibers of the paper without drying completely - before it is then brushed with a top coat of ink. 

This allows the splattered pigment to spread ever so gently out from its original placement, leaving fractal-like watermarks and subtle brushstrokes to add depth and organic movement.

Much like VELVET, the technical nuances of FLUIDITY just can’t be replicated on a printed wallpaper. And even if one was able to capture high res scans of a similar painting technique, there would always, inevitably, undoubtedly be… a visual repeat. Killing the flow of the organic pattern and shattering the illusion of your immersive interior.

But with Porter Teleo’s hand painted process, well… you’ve seen it! You know we couldn’t make two identical panels even if we tried!

Beyond the incredible natural beauty of this pattern, we’re obsessed with the glitz and glamor of this gold and blue colorway! To hold a piece of this wallpaper feels like being handed a scroll from King Midas himself. ✨
