My name is Inke Heiland and I'm an artist/designer living in the Netherlands. I graduated in 2002 at the
Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam
(CV)Wallpaper Wildlife (behangbeesten) was at first just an idea for my son's bedroom. I was so satisfied with the result that I presented the silhouettes in 2004 On
"Rietveld naar de beurs", an exposition/sales event for new design which is held once a year in Amsterdam. After lots of positive reactions I decided to expand the collection with the wallpaper furniture and wallpaper trees. All of which you can see and order via this website.
The silhouettes are made from real vintage and designers wallpaper. Due to the age of the paper and the traditional printing techniques irregularities may occur. This is part of the appeal of the product!
The silhouettes are all hand crafted in our own workshop, or at the sheltered workshop DZB in our home town Leiden. We take as much care as possible cutting your silhouette, but errors may occur. In case of production errors, you can exchange the article for free.
Each pattern is available in limited quantities only They are sent out as a
"do it yourself kit" complete with glue, a brush and instructions.

Frequently asked questions:
On Picture X, there is a silhouette in a pattern I can’t find in the orderform. Can I still order that pattern?
We frequently use old wallpapers from the 60’s 70’s for the silhouettes. Therefore some patterns are very scarce and could be out of stock. If you cannot find the pattern in the orderform, the pattern is unfortunately out of stock.
Can I buy a whole roll of wallpaper X?
The wallpapers are not sold separately, because of the limited availability.
On which surfaces can the silhouettes be applied?
Each silhouette contains special adhesive. Please consult the manufacturer’s
specifications.
Can I order the leaves of the tree separately?
Unfortunately that is not possible. In some cases however we make an exeption (if you have already ordered a tree, for instance).
